Study of jujube fruit with plant growth regulators uncovered key genes in flavonoid biosynthesis, potential for fruit quality improvement, and metabolic changes. Gibberellin and indole-3-acetic acid levels rose, while abscisic acid fell, revealing molecular mechanisms.
Pine trees produce terpenes to defend against the Mediterranean pine shoot beetle. Terpene profiles differ between healthy and infested trees, showing potential for plant-induced defense mechanisms.
Scientists studied phytochemicals from Calotropis Procera as potential drugs against the main protease (3CLp) of SARS-CoV-2. 11 phytochemicals showed promise with strong binding affinity and reactivity. These compounds could be developed as effective drugs against COVID-19.
Annotated draft genome of pathogenic/saprophytic fungi with root rot in fir and spruce trees. Valuable for understanding disease mechanisms and potential for developing targeted treatments.
Study used network pharmacology to find potential compounds from avocados for treating rheumatoid arthritis. Important as current RA treatments have limitations, need for new options is crucial.
Researchers studied the health effects of radish seed by examining glucosinolates and their transformation into bioactive isothiocyanates by gut bacteria. This can have positive impacts on health.
Researchers studied the potential of resveratrol to protect against doxorubicin-induced heart damage in cancer treatment. Result: resveratrol showed promise as a protective agent. Important for improving cancer treatment outcomes.
