Strong antagonism of an endophyte of Fraxinus excelsior towards the ash dieback pathogen, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, is mediated by the antifungal secondary metabolite PF1140.

Summary

Endophytic fungi isolated from ash trees show promise in combating ash dieback, but main compound PF1140 has phytotoxic effects. Important for understanding plant-fungal interactions and developing biocontrol agents.

Protective effect of a hydromethanolic extract from Fraxinus excelsior L. bark against a rat model of aluminum chloride-induced Alzheimer's disease: Relevance to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Summary

Fraxinus excelsior (ash) has various beneficial properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It has been traditionally used to treat neurological disorders. This study investigates its potential effectiveness in Alzheimer's disease, which involves amyloid-beta, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation.
