Honeysuckle leaves are rich in bioactive ingredients, but often considered as agro-wastes. In this study, honeysuckle leaf extract (HLE) was added to the carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan/konjac glucomannan/gelatin composite edible film (CMKH). Compared to films without HLE addition (CMK), the water vapor barrier properties of CMKH slightly decreased, but the transmittance of the CMKH films in UV region (200-400 nm) as low as zero. The elongation at break of CMKH film was 1.39 ∼ 1.5 fold higher than those of CMK films. The DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity of CMKH-Ⅱ was 85.75% and 90.93%, respectively, which is similar to the equivalent content of Vc. The inhibition rate of CMKH-Ⅰ and CMKH-Ⅱ against and were close to 90%, and the inhibition rate against were up to 96%. The results emphasized that the composite film containing 25% (v/v) HLE has potential application value in food preservation.

is a wild fruit species with high edible and medicinal value. However, the molecular regulation and metabolic mechanisms of under salt stress are still unclear. Salt stress causes damage to the cell membrane of and induces changes in malondialdehyde content, relative electrolyte leakage, leaves' stomatal opening, and the water loss rate.

Background: The escalating global challenge of antibiotic resistance severely restricts our ability to treat common infectious diseases, necessitating the urgent need for the development of novel antibiotics with distinct mechanisms of action. Actinobacteria, a diverse group of bacteria with medical, industrial, pharmaceutical, and ecological significance, produce approximately two-thirds of clinically used antibiotics. Endophytic actinobacteria (EA), residing within various plant species, represent a promising source for discovering novel antibiotics to combat this raising threat.
