Description
Canadian yew stores its chemistry unevenly across its organs, Svetlana M. Zaytseva and colleagues show in a 2026 plant study. They collected the generative organs of Taxus canadensis from the Moscow region across the April-to-October season. Microscopy with histochemical stains mapped where polyphenols sit, and ethanol extracts were tested for biological activity.
Polyphenols proved abundant in the plant's cones, seeds, and fleshy arils, with flavans dominating the aril at every growth stage. Shoot extracts showed the strongest antibacterial action and the highest overall activity, ahead of seed extracts. Aril extracts, by contrast, were the least toxic to cells. The mapping helps growers and pharmacologists judge which yew tissues merit harvest or culture.
