Summary: Clerodendrum angustipetalum, a new species endemic to Narathiwat province in southern Thailand, is described and illustrated in this study. It is similar to C. nutans in appearance but differs in leaf texture, calyx tube length, and corolla lobe width. Due to its small population size in a single locality, it is considered Critically Endangered.

Summary: Clerodendrum formicarum Gurke is a Cameroonian medicinal plant from the Lamiaceae family. Phytochemical studies of its leaf extracts revealed the isolation of four compounds, with clerodendronone 1b showing good antibacterial activity against Shigella flexineri and Staphylococcus aureus. Ethyl acetate extract also exhibited good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus.

Summary: Pharmacognosy is a field of study that focuses on the diterpenoids, and Clerodendrum plants are an important source of these compounds. The diterpenoids isolated from Clerodendrum demonstrate a range of biological activities, including cytotoxic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, the study of diterpenoids from Clerodendrum plants is important for drug discovery and development.

Summary: In hermaphroditic dichogamous species, the separation of sporophylls can lead to high pollination inaccuracy. Contrary to expectation, the second sporophyll does not take the exact position of the first, resulting in high pollination inaccuracy. However, despite the apparent maladaptiveness, the starting position of the sporophylls is close to the theoretical optimum, leading to the highest overall male fitness.

Summary: Multi-species biofilms are prevalent worldwide and pose a concern in the food industry due to their resistance to antimicrobial therapies and potential to cause foodborne diseases. Effective removal of multi-species biofilms involves controlling the formation of EPS and QS. Strategies such as EPS disruption, QS inhibition, and disinfection have been employed for removing multi-species biofilms.

Summary: N-6-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is the most prevalent modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, regulating various biological processes. The computational framework MASS, based on multi-task curriculum learning, outperforms existing methods in capturing m(6)A features across multiple species. MASS also helps elucidate m(6)A similarities and differences among species and their relationships with gene regulation properties.

Summary: The study focused on exploring the phytochemistry and antitumor potential of Clerodendrum infortunatum (hill glory bower) root extract against human tumor cell lines. The root extract showed high cytotoxicity, and further fractionation yielded seven compounds. Betulinic acid was identified as the active principle contributing to the cytotoxic activity, particularly against HPV-positive cervical cancer. In vivo experiments on mice confirmed the anticancer property of the root extract.

Summary: This study investigated the taxonomy of epifoliar fungi Meliolaceae and their coevolutionary events with host plants. The dominant coevolution events were cospeciation and host shift during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic periods. The evolutionary history of epifoliar fungi can be divided into three major periods: origins of families, formations of genera, and diversification of species.

Summary: A new monoterpene derivative called dongsunol A (1) and sixteen known compounds (2-17) were isolated from the volva of Phallus dongsun. The structures and configurations of these compounds were determined using NMR, HRESIMS, and ECD. Compound (1) showed antibacterial activity with a MIC of 200 μg/mL, while the other compounds exhibited inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as moderate NO inhibitory and antineoplastic activities on SMMC-7721 and SW480 in vitro.

Summary: A novel species of entomopathogenic fungi, Cordyceps poluscapitis, was discovered on ants in Guizhou Province, China. It exhibits both sexual and asexual morphology, characterized by brightly colored, fleshy stromata and long, filiform ascospores. Additionally, this unique species parasitizes ants and produces conidia with multiple septa. Phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data of 6-loci genes (ITS, SSU, LSU, TEF, RPB1 and RPB2) confirmed it as a new species in Cordyceps.
