The genomes of Darwin's primroses reveal chromosome-scale adaptive introgression and differential permeability of species boundaries.

Summary

Scientists analyzed 650 primrose genomes revealing evidence of introgression and its role in species adaptation. They found a genomic region aiding adaptation to soil toxicity and observed chloroplast introgression, but the S-locus supergene did not introgress. Comprehensive sampling is crucial for understanding species boundaries.

The ameliorative effect of Primula vulgaris on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats and quantification of its phenolic components using LC-ESI-MS/MS.

Summary

This study found that the extract of PVE can protect against kidney damage caused by the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin. PVE has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
