Jasminum

Jasminum is a genus of flowering plants that includes species such as Jasminum sambac and Jasminum lanceolaria. Traditionally, there are no recorded uses for these plants in any specific medical or cultural traditions. Scientific studies have shown that Jasminum sambac may play roles in defense responses against fungal infections, with four key genes showing significant differential expression during early Sclerotium rolfsii infection. Additionally, research has identified volatile components in jasmine species that potentially exhibit MAO-A inhibitory activity and provided the complete chloroplast genome sequence of Jasminum lanceolaria for taxonomic identification. Another study found that combining nTiO2 and MeJA reduced cadmium toxicity while enhancing α-farnesene accumulation in Jasminum sambac, which may improve aroma quality. To date, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for these plants.
