The diversity of secondary metabolites of individual plants results from multiple enzymatic processes in planta and various environmental factors, such as temperature, moisture, and soil conditions. Chemical composition analysis of plants can lead to a new method to understand relationship among comparable plants along with biological classification such as genetic and anatomical method. In this study, the chemical diversity of nine different Lauraceae species was investigated, and the plant samples were chemically analyzed and classified. Multivariate analysis methods, such as PLS-DA, were used to select important metabolites distinguishing the nine Lauraceae species. The selected metabolites were identified through preparative LC-MS or MS/MS fragment pattern analysis. In addition, the chemical dendrogram for the nine Lauraceae species was interpreted through molecular network analysis and compared with the genetic dendrogram. This approach enabled us to compare the complete chemical compositions of multiple plant samples to identify relationships among plants.

Mezilaurus duckei, a Brazilian endemic tree species found exclusively in the Amazon Rainforest, is primarily exploited for timber in construction. Due to its endangered status, this study aimed to investigate the chemical profile and biological properties of the ethanolic extract and its phases derived from M. duckei leaves.

The lace bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Tingidae) from the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, which are known as "Oriental Galapagos", are taxonomically revised. The following eight species belonging to the two endemic genera, Souma & Kamitani, 2021 (Tinginae, Tingini) or Horváth, 1912 (Tinginae, Tingini) are recognized from the islands: Souma & Kamitani, 2021, (Horváth, 1912), , , Souma, 2022, , Guilbert, 2001, and Souma, 2022. In previous studies published in the 2020s, and were misidentified as , while , re-diagnosed in the present study, was confused with .

Sri Lankan cinnamon, widely known as true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), is a world-renowned commodity. With the high market demand, many incidents have reported adulteration of true cinnamon with other cinnamon species such as Cinnamomum aromaticum, Cinnamomum burmanni, and Cinnamomum loureiroi. Moreover, the contamination of cinnamon products with fungi (Aspergillus flavus) has also significantly negatively impacted the cinnamon export market.

The intricate interplay between photosynthetic efficiency and terpenoid biosynthesis in plants remains a pivotal yet underexplored area in secondary metabolism research. This study elucidates the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying this synergy in Cinnamomum burmanni, a chemically diverse Lauraceae species, through a multi-omics approach. A high-quality chromosome-level genome of C.
