Background: The broomrapes are root-parasitic weeds widely distributed in the temperate zone area. The effective management on the Phelipanche and Orobanche parasitic weeds still remains challenging to date.
Results: Novel strigolactone (SL) analogues (X series) and mimics (O series) derived from indolin-2-one were designed and synthesized. Of them, compound O-3 showed nearly ten-fold higher seed germination activity (median effective concentration (EC) = 0.0066 μm) towards Phelipanche aegyptiaca seeds compared to the control GR24. Moreover, it also showed prominent seed germination activity towards Phelipanche ramosa. At a dosage of 0.2 μm, the glasshouse experiment revealed that compound O-3 not only displayed the profitable P. aegyptiaca control, but also influenced fruit and plant stalk development in tomato cultivation. Theoretical computational studies indicated that compound O-3 could perfectly interact with catalytic triad of OmKAI2d4, and the oxime linker facilitate to release the active D ring species, thereby significantly improving bioactivity.
Conclusions: A class of SL mimics incorporating a unique oxime linker has been developed from indolin-2-one. Compound O-3 exhibited the highest seed germination activities toward the parasitic P. aegyptiaca and P. ramosa, and could serve as a promising lead compound for the Phelipanche control. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Dissolved organic matter is the main precursor for the formation of halogenated disinfection by-products (X-DBPs) during the disinfection of drinking water. However, the majority of the X-DBPs identified based on the artificially prepared water using the Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (SRNOM) will bias the assessment of X-DBP formation potential in actual natural water. Herein, the non-targeted analysis based on ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry was employed to reveal the discrepancy in the molecular composition of X-DBPs and their precursors in SRNOM solution and actual authentic samples during disinfection.

The ultraviolet (UV) process is recognized as an environmentally friendly treatment, typically producing fewer byproducts compared to conventional chemical oxidation methods. However, research on the mechanisms underlying the removal of toxic effects by UV and UV-based combined processes during wastewater treatment remains insufficient. In this study, effect-based trigger values (EBTs) for acute toxicity, genotoxicity, and estrogen receptor (ER) agonist activity were derived and subsequently applied to assess three categories of toxicity variations in both full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and pilot-scale systems.

Ozone (O) is a primary pollutant affecting air quality in China, whose formation rate was non-linearly based on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). A comprehensive understanding of the key drivers governing O formation and its sensitivity to precursor variations presents a persistent research challenge, stemming from the complex interplay of underlying photochemistry, meteorology, and topography. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted synchronous measurements of O and its precursors at both an urban (JPU) and a mountain (LM) site in a typical city in eastern China, enabling concurrent evaluation of O formation sensitivity and diagnostic analysis of its underlying mechanisms.

Surface ozone (O) pollution has emerged as a regional environmental issue. Photochemical reactive species significantly impact O photochemical formation by regulating radicals and atmospheric oxidation capacity. This study focuses on O pollution in a southeastern coastal city, utilizing coordinated methods of filed observations and Photochemical Box Model to explore the pollution mechanisms and sensitivity analyses of typical reactive species (PAN, HCHO, and isoprene).
