Rose of Sharon extract showed promising results in reducing hyperglycemia, improving insulin production, antioxidant activity, liver protection, and lipid profiles in diabetic rats. Consider incorporating it as an adjunctive therapy for diabetes management.
Researchers developed a new method using long read sequencing to improve the quality of plant genomes, specifically the polyploid plant Hibiscus syriacus. This method allows for better recovery of repetitive sequences and error correction, which can have applications in genetic research and crop breeding.
