Although valued for its essential oils rich in diosphenol and sulfur compounds, cultivation remains limited by agronomic challenges, sustaining reliance on unsustainable wild harvesting. This review synthesizes current research on buchu’s ecological adaptations, propagation issues, and cultivation constraints, drawing from scientific databases and ecologically similar fynbos species. Buchu thrives in acidic (pH 4.0–6.5), nutrient-poor soils. However, domestication is limited by low seed germination, poor transplant survival (&lt;10 %), and inconsistent essential oil profiles in cultivated plants. These challenges intensify outside its native range, where poor establishment and susceptibility to root pathogens like <em>Phytophthora</em> spp. severely limit <em>ex situ</em> cultivation. Conventional propagation (seeds, cuttings) is unreliable, while micropropagation, though promising, requires optimization to preserve bioactive compound integrity. Postharvest knowledge gaps persist, especially in harvesting timing (to reduce toxic pulegone), drying, and storage. Emerging solutions include seed priming, microbial inoculants (e.g., <em>Cryptococcus laurentii</em>), and precision agriculture techniques. Bridging traditional practices with innovative technologies may address propagation and yield challenges. However, urgent advances in propagation and soil management are vital for sustainable commercialization and conservation of this culturally and ecologically significant species.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100661"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixed carvacrol–thymol chemotype (both compounds 20–40 %) is frequently found in transitional zones between these areas. The chemotype-specific composition influences biological activity and sensory properties, guiding the selection of plant material for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications. However, it remains unclear whether such chemotypic variation extends to plant extracts, particularly those obtained using different extraction techniques. This study investigated how three extraction methods—maceration (M), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE)—affected the chemical composition, antioxidant activity, and yield of bioactive compounds in SM extracts derived from these chemotypes cultivated in South Banat, Serbia. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis identified key phenolic compounds, including thymol, carvacrol, rosmarinic acid, rutin, and caffeic acid. MAE extracts exhibited the highest total polyphenol content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC), with SM (T) extracted by MAE consistently showing the greatest concentrations of rosmarinic acid and rutin, along with superior antioxidant activity measured by ion exchange-based antioxidant assays (FRAP and CUPRAC). UAE was particularly efficient in extracting thymol and carvacrol, especially in the SM (T) chemotype, leading to higher activity in radical scavenging antioxidant assays (ABTS and DPPH). These results underscore the significant impact of both chemotype and extraction technique on the bioactive profile of SM extracts. Optimizing extraction based on chemotype is thus crucial for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy and industrial value of <em>S. montana</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15136,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100656"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144932172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we studied the adaptive significance of sexual polymorphism on the reproductive ecology and reproductive success of <em>Thymus linearis</em> −a gynodiocious and duo-dichogamous plant species from the Kashmir Himalayas. All eight studied sites exhibited the coexistence of both female and hermaphrodite flowers with significantly different reproductive attributes. Female flowers were relatively smaller (0.27 ± 0.01 mm in diameter) compared to hermaphrodite flowers (0.32 ± 0.02 mm). In sexual accomplishment of <em>T. linearis</em>, we identified intervention of four floral morphs (A, B, C, and D) with unique form and functionality. These floral morphs varied in the number of pollens per flower, pollen viability, pollen variation, pollen load index, and stigma receptivity. The maximum pollen number was recorded in morph A (3373.3 ± 21.95) and the minimum in morph C (95.12 ± 0.01). The maximum pollen viability was recorded in morph D (87.66 ± 0.61 %), and the minimum in morph B and C (0 %). The maximum pollen variation was observed in morph D (60.53 ± 1.35) and the minimum in morph A (4.53 ± 0.165). The pollen load index was maximum in morph B (0.75) and minimum in morph A (0.25). The maximum duration of stigma receptivity was recorded in morph B (7–8 days) and the minimum in morphs A and D (2 days).

Hence, we aimed to investigate the relationship between tuber size and alkaloid accumulation in <em>C. yanhusuo</em> using integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses. Targeted metabolomics and transcriptomic analyses were conducted on <em>C. yanhusuo</em> tubers of three different sizes.

The total alkaloid content in small tubers was higher than that in large tubers. Targeted metabolomics analysis revealed 481 alkaloids, predominantly isoquinoline alkaloids (41.58 %), most of which were more abundant in small tubers than in large ones. Combined with transcriptome data, our findings suggested that alkaloid accumulation in differently sized tubers might be related to environmental adaptation and trade-offs between tuber growth and development. Core transcription factors, including NAC, C3H, and GRAS, which are responsive to 50 μM ABA, may regulate the growth and development of <em>C. yanhusuo</em>.
