Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. RCE induced senescence and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. These changes were concomitant with upregulation of p21, downregulation of cyclin D1, p27,...

Rhus michauxii, a rare plant species endemic to the southeastern United States, was previously known only from central North Carolina and one site in Georgia. An additional site, which is now believed to represent the largest known concentration of R. michauxii, was recently discovered at Ft. Pickett near Blackstone, Virginia. Morphological characteristics in several of the Ft. Pickett Rhus pop...
