“…Besides, the Kayan folks believe that fresh juice prepared from cassava leaves can heal hematemesis. 76 Remarkably, the juice of grated cassava roots is used as a treatment for constipation and dyspepsia, yet the aqueous leaves’ soak is applied to treat fever in the south pacific area. Notably, cassava has also been used in Fiji to treat glaucoma by folding the stem or the heated leaves and rubbing them onto the affected eyes.…”

Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is considered one of the essential tuber crops, serving as a dietary staple food for various populations. This systematic review provides a comprehensive summary of the nutritional and therapeutic properties of cassava, which is an important dietary staple and traditional medicine. The review aims to evaluate and summarize the phytochemical components of cassava and their association with pharmacological activities, traditional uses, and nutritional importance in global food crises. To collect all relevant information, electronic databases; Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Preprint Platforms were searched for studies on cassava from inception until October 2022. A total of 1582 studies were screened, while only 34 were included in this review. The results of the review indicate that cassava has diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-bacterial, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic effects, and wound healing properties. However, more studies that aim to isolate the phytochemicals in cassava extracts and evaluate their pharmacological property are necessary to further validate their medical and nutritional values.

“…Sarawak has the highest diversity (263 taxa; 23 endemic), followed by Sabah (182 taxa; six endemic) and Peninsular Malaysia (174 taxa; 34 endemic). Sabah and Sarawak are also the world's hotspots for Polyalthia (Annonaceae; 31%; Turner et al, 2014), Gymnacranthera (71%) , Horsfieldia (approximately 39%) , Knema (47%) (Myristicaceae; de Wilde, 2000), Madhuca (50%) , Palaquium (approximately 37%) , and Payena (63%) (Sapotaceae; Chai & Yii, 2002), among others. Peninsular Malaysia is a hotspot for Barringtonia (35%; Lecythidaceae; Prance, 2012).…”

As one of the world's top megadiverse countries for tree species, Malaysia remains committed towards reducing tree population loss and species extinction. In order to ensure efficacy in the planning and implementation of conservation programmes, prioritisation of resources, and mainstreaming across the key drivers of biodiversity loss, it is essential to identify, document, and assess the extinction risk of families with high levels of endemism. In addition to being an integral component of ecosystems and their functions, from a socio-ecological perspective, the rich biodiversity of Malaysia constitutes extraordinary natural capital that many people depend on for their livelihoods and well-being.

Target capture sequencing for phylogenomic and population studies in the Southeast Asian genusPalaquium(Sapotaceae)

The first phylogenomic study using a custom target capture bait panel within the Isonandreae tribe in Sapotaceae is presented. The combination of taxon-specific and universal loci from the Angiosperms353 probe set achieved high species resolution within the genus Palaquium and provides the first phylogenomic insights into Malesian representatives of Sapotaceae, where relationships between taxa often remain poorly understood. The results highlight that generic and some species circumscriptions require further investigation and possible revision: Aulandra longifolia is found to be nested in Palaquium, and P. rostratum within P. microphyllum. Population structure analysis produced limited resolution between and within species, but the bait set was able to recover parameters that are potentially useful in population genomic studies.
