Among fruit plants belonging to the Rosaceae family, medlar () can be classified as neglected or underutilized. It is a genus of two species of flowering plants: (common medlar) and . Appreciated for its specific taste and flavor, medlar also possesses biological properties (antioxidant and antimicrobial). Despite the special properties of medlar, there are few research papers on this subject. This review paper includes data not only on medlar fruits but also its leaves, bark, and bud flowers. The main identified components are presented, as well as several biological properties, morphological properties, ethnopharmacological uses, and molecular biology analyses emerging from the scientific papers published in this area.
在蔷薇科果树中，欧楂可被归类为被忽视或未充分利用的品种。它是一个包含两种开花植物的属：欧楂（普通欧楂）和地中海欧楂。欧楂因其独特的口感和风味而受到赞赏，还具有生物特性（抗氧化和抗菌）。尽管欧楂有这些特殊特性，但关于这个主题的研究论文却很少。这篇综述论文不仅包括欧楂果实的数据，还包括其叶子、树皮和花蕾的数据。文中介绍了主要鉴定出的成分，以及该领域发表的科学论文中出现的几种生物学特性、形态学特性、民族药理学用途和分子生物学分析。
