Alocasia macrorrhizos is a plant of considerable ecological and medicinal importance. It is involved in specialized pollination mutualisms, exhibits significant medicinal properties including antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, anticancer, and diuretic activities, and shows potential tolerance to heavy metal stress. Additionally, its inflorescences exhibit thermogenesis, which may play a role in pollinator attraction. The plant's protease inhibitors also have notable immunomodulatory effects. These diverse attributes make A. macrorrhizos a valuable subject for further research and potential applications in medicine and environmental management.
