Unravelling phenolic metabotypes in the frame of the COMBAT study, a randomized, controlled trial with cranberry supplementation.

Cranberry consumption affects plasma and urine metabolites, with variations among individuals. Three phenolic metabotypes were identified, mainly driven by colonic metabolism. This innovative approach helps understand (poly)phenol metabolism and individual differences, contributing to studying the health effects of cranberries and other (poly)phenol-rich foods.

Phytochemical Cue for the Fitness Costs of Herbicide-Resistant Weeds.

Study examines the relationship between herbicide resistance costs and phytochemical cues in weeds. Fitness and phytochemical responses were compared in six resistant weed species. Some resistant weeds showed fitness costs, while others did not. (-)-loliolide may regulate vitality and fecundity, explaining the fitness cost in herbicide-resistant weeds.
