••
TL;DR: It is proposed that proline might be essential for improving salinity tolerance in some species/cultivars, but may not be relevant in others, and that comprehensive future research is needed to establish the proline exact mechanism by which it enhances plant salt tolerance.
195 citations
••
TL;DR: Drought stress probably increases the methylchavicol and methyleugenol content, in part, through increasing the expression levels of CVOMT and EOMT, as well as the effect of drought stress on the essential oil compounds, which were investigated.
89 citations

TL;DR: ABA and GA3 applications to grapevine plants cv.
65 citations
••
TL;DR: The stress related increase of biosynthesis is not only due to a "passive" shift caused by the stress related over-reduced status, but also is due - at least in part-to an "active" up-regulation of the enzymes involved.
58 citations
••

TL;DR: Five previously undescribed metabolites, including acetylquestinol, two prenylated indole 3-carbaldehyde derivatives, an anthranilic acid derivative and an isochromone derivative were isolated from the culture of the endophytic fungus Eurotium chevalieri.
54 citations
••
TL;DR: An exhaustive map of natural occurrences of aurones their biosynthetic pathways and roles is drawn up, with the aim to link their original structural properties among flavonoids to their place in evolution and the selective advantages they bring to some of the most advanced taxa in the plant kingdom.
54 citations
••
TL;DR: Evidence is affords for the fact that selective BChE inhibitors should be further investigated as promising candidate molecules for AD therapy.
48 citations
••
TL;DR: Investigation demonstrated that targeting multiple tumor metabolic regulators might be one anti-glioma mechanism of streptodepsipeptide P11A, and downregulated expression of HK2, PFKFB3, PKM2, GLS, and FASN, important tumor metabolic enzymes.
••
TL;DR: The structures of these compounds were unambiguously determined based on extensive NMR spectroscopic analyses, and the absolute configuration was resolved by CD analyses, X-ray crystallographic, chemical and Mosher's method.
••
TL;DR: Five previously undescribed compounds including two triterpenoid aglycones, 3β,23-dihydroxy-1,12-dioxo-olean-28-oic acid, and three triter penoid glucosides cyclocarioside L-N, along with 17 known compounds were isolated from a CH3Cl-soluble extract of the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus.
••
TL;DR: The results indicated that terpenoids in the latex of E. peplus are rich and highly diversified, and might function as constitutive defense metabolites against insect herbivores and pathogens for the plant.
••
TL;DR: Three previously undescribed isoflavone derivatives, 7-O-methylcorylifol A, 7 -O-isoprenylcory Lifolia A, and 7-Dihydro-12,13-epoxybakuchiol have been isolated from the fruits of Psoralea corylifolia, together with 9 known compounds.
••
TL;DR: A literature review of terpenes, phenolic compounds, and other less common phytochemicals from H. italicum with regard to application of different separation methods is presented.
••
TL;DR: Phytochemical profiles of newly discovered allohexaploid hybrid, here named Centaurium pannonicum, and its parental tetraploid species C. erythraea and rare C. compressum are described.
••
TL;DR: In a search for new anti-HIV active leads from over several thousands of plant extracts, a potent plant lead is identified as Justicia gendarussa (Acanthaceae), a medicinal plant that has been used for the treatment of injury, arthritis and rheumatism in Asia.
••
TL;DR: Penicillic acid displayed weak antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with equal MIC values of 128 μg/mL, and it was noncytotoxic towards African green monkey kidney fibroblast cells.
••
TL;DR: To profile human health-related metabolites in a number of clones from 13 Solanum species, results from HPLC-DAD and LC-ESI-MS analyses highlighted a high interspecific variability in the level of metabolites analysed.
••
TL;DR: Findings indicate that green plants were able to synthesize and inactivate BRs from the land-transition stage.
••
TL;DR: Chemical investigation of the methanol extract of the fertile form of Roccella montagnei collected in Vietnam afforded twelve secondary metabolites, including five new montagnetol derivatives, orsellinylmontagnetols A-D and a furanyl derivative together with seven known compounds.
••
TL;DR: The chemical composition of inflorescence odours of 80 species of Amorphophallus (Araceae) were determined by headspace-thermal desorption GC-MS, revealing evidence both of phylogenetic constraint and plasticity of odours and the evolution of some odour types is likely to have been influenced by ecological factors.
••
TL;DR: Cloning of bornyl diphosphate synthase of lavender (LaBPPS) is reported, an enzyme that catalyzes the production ofBornyl dphosphate (BPP) and then by-products such as borneol or camphor, from an EST library and borneol could be one of the first monoterpenes to be synthesized in the Lavandula subgenus.
••
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the transcription levels of several steviol glycosides (SGs) related genes under several light treatments involved in GA biosynthesis and found that SG-related genes and SGs content are affected by light treatments known to affect the GA contents.
••
TL;DR: The isolation of α-amino-β-methylaminopropionic acid from seeds of Cycas circinalis (now C. micronesica Hill) resulted from a purposeful attempt to establish the cause of the profound neurological disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism/dementia, that existed in high frequency amongst the inhabitants of the western Pacific island of Guam.
••
TL;DR: A phytochemical study of an extract from transformed root cultures of Nepeta teydea, induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes, led to the isolation of the following new compounds: the sesquiterpene (-)-cinalbicol, the diter pene teydeadione, and a degraded C23-triterpene (teydealdehyde).
••
TL;DR: Some differences were observed between the metallicolous and nonmetallicolous populations - the accumulation of metals was lower in the shoots and higher in the roots of the NM population, compared with the MZ and MC populations.
••
TL;DR: Seven triterpenoid saponins, named ilexsaponin I-O, along with twelve known ones, were isolated from the roots of Ilex pubescens and seven compounds were shown to inhibit LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by suppressing the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), respectively, in
••
TL;DR: Eight compounds, along with six known compounds, were isolated from the fruit of J. mandshurica and the absolute configuration of two compounds were determined, with 2-(4-formyl-2-methoxyphenoxy)-propan-1,3-diol and 2-[4-(3-hydroxypropyl)-2- methoxymethoxy]-1, 3-propanediol exhibited the most potent lipolytic activities.
