Summary: This study investigated the enhanced activity of 4-hydroxyisoluceine (4-HIL) in protecting rice plants against blast pathogen through gamma radiation. The methanolic crude extract of gamma irradiated extract showed remarkable saponin content, and the purified 4-HIL compound exhibited good anti-blast properties. The presence of 4-HIL was confirmed through LCMS and NMR spectroscopy. Application of 4-HIL compound on primed plants resulted in significant disease protection.

Summary: The use of nitrogen fertilizer rates and growth substrate composition was found to significantly affect the nutritional value, chemical composition, and bioactive properties of Centaurea raphanina ssp. mixta plants. Soil with 200 ppm of nitrogen showed to be the most beneficial for fat, protein, and carbohydrate content, while peat/perlite-grown plants with the same nitrogen level had the highest content of tocopherols. Different treatments showed varied levels of fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antihemolytic and antifungal activities, suggesting that the selection of growth substrate and nitrogen application can regulate the bioactive properties of the plant species and increase its commercial value.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity of different cocoas from various origins. The results showed that non-alkalized cocoas had higher phenolic and procyanidin contents and antioxidant activity compared to alkalized cocoas. The cocoa from Peru was found to be the best candidate in terms of bioactive compounds. Further research is needed to assess its effects on brain plasticity and cognitive function.

Summary: Calligonum polygonoides, a perennial herb in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India, exhibits high resistance to abiotic stresses and is a dominant biomass and phytochemicals producer. The study found that the plant's phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were highest during severe winter and summer months, with the highest and lowest environmental temperatures of the year, respectively. This suggests that C. polygonoides can be a valuable source for developing antioxidant-rich functional foods in hot arid regions.
