Article Abstract
A chemical study of Bethencourtia hermosae, aerial parts and in vitro root cultures, transformed by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, afforded the hitherto unreported sesquiterpenes ceratopicanol angelate (1), 8β-hydroxy-african-4(5)-en-3-one tiglate (4), 8β-hydroxy-african-4(5)-en-3-one 3'-angeloxy-2'-methylbutanoate (5), 1α,8β-dihydroxy-african-4(5)-en-3-one 8β-angelate (7) and 6α,8β-dihydroxy-african-4(5)-en-3-one 8β-angelate (8). In addition, 8β-hydroxy-african-4(5)-en-3-one (6) was isolated for the first time from a natural source, along with the rare sesquiterpenoid senecrassidiol (10) and two jacaranone derivatives 14 and 16. Known pyrrolizidine alkaloids, together with previously unreported hermosine (23), have also been isolated from this plant. The insect antifeedant activities of the extracts and compounds were studied together with their cytotoxic effects against insect (Sf9) and mammalian (CHO) cell lines.

Background: Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, significantly impacts cruciferous crop production worldwide. Biocontrol is an environmentally friendly and promising approach for clubroot management. Endophytic bacteria are known for their ability to promote plant growth and induce resistance against plant diseases.

In this study, a deep-water culture (DWC) hydroponic system integrating carbon dioxide nanobubble (CNB) water and biochar (BC) was explored as a potential substrate for carbon and nutrient management. Lettuce seedlings were cultivated under varying substrates, including tap water (TW) and deionized water (DW) with and without CNB and BC at concentrations of 0.1 or 0.

Humans can spontaneously detect complex algebraic structures. Historically, two opposing views explain this ability, at the root of language and music acquisition. Some argue for the existence of an innate and specific mechanism.

This study focused on the chemical synthesis of auxin analogs, wherein a trifluoromethyl group was introduced near the carboxyl group in the side chain of natural and synthetic auxins, including IAA, NAA, IBA, 2,4-D, and 4-Cl-IAA. The effects of these synthetic compounds and natural auxins on plant growth regulation and callus growth were evaluated. In experiments with black gram, CF-IAA and 4-Cl-CF-IAA exhibited comparable effects to the parent compound, IAA.

The plant root microbiome is a complex community shaped by interactions among bacteria, the plant host and the environment. Synthetic community (SynCom) experiments help disentangle these interactions by inoculating host plants with a representative set of culturable microbial isolates from the natural root microbiome. Studying these simplified communities provides valuable insights into microbiome assembly and function.
