ABSTRACT Corn silk, the stigmas and styles of maize, is a traditional medicinal herb with promising anti‐aging potential. This review systematically examines its bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, polysaccharides, terpenoids, sterols, which contribute to antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐tumor, metabolic regulatory effects. These properties support potential therapeutic applications in aging‐related conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's Parkinson's), cardiovascular disorders, diabetes obesity), kidney dysfunction. Preclinical studies highlight corn silk's role mitigating oxidative stress inflammation—key drivers aging. Additionally, preliminary clinical trials, particularly on anti‐diabetic effects, show promise, but larger randomized controlled trials are needed establish safety efficacy. Future research should focus standardizing extraction methods, elucidating mechanisms action, exploring synergistic interactions among constituents. Together, this emphasizes need for continued investigation into silk natural, multi‐target agent aging age‐related diseases, advancing applications.

Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is critical for providing energy and nutrients ensuring food security over half of the world’s population. However, like other crop plants, rice vulnerable to various environmental stresses. To combat these stresses, plants accumulate numerous secondary metabolites known as phytoalexins. Hydroxycinnamic acid amides (HCAAs) are a widely distributed class phenylpropanoid-derived phytoalexins with diverse biological functions. Increasing evidence highlights their pivotal roles in both abiotic biotic stress responses, well modulation plant growth development. HCAAs synthesized by inducible hydroxycinnamoyl transferases acting on free amines hydroxycinnamic acids, which provide variety metabolic, chemical, functional capabilities due combinations among parent compounds. This review synthesizes current knowledge emphasize importance HCAAs, comprehensive examination biosynthesis, distribution, functions, regulatory mechanisms, particularly relation tolerance. Furthermore, seeks further explore beneficial properties advance potential application genetic breeding develop elite crops.
