Summary: This study measured the accumulation of metallic trace elements (MTE) in Reynoutria japonica and assessed the eco-toxicological risk related to the valorization of its biomass. The results showed that the Cd content in R. japonica grown in MTE-contaminated soil was close to the regulatory limit, posing a potential threat to food safety.

Summary: This study reveals the mechanism of airborne defense (AD) against aphids and viruses. The volatile compound MeSA is perceived by neighboring plants and converted into salicylic acid, which activates a signaling cascade to induce plant anti-aphid immunity and reduce virus transmission. Aphid-transmitted viruses encode proteins that suppress AD, making plants less repellent to aphids and more suitable for aphid survival, infestation, and viral transmission.

Summary: The study aimed to identify plants that can adapt to natural growth at mine sites through vegetation survey, elemental analysis in soil and plants, and detoxicant detection in plant cells. Plants found at the study site were consistent with those reported at other mine sites, with Adiantum maximowiczii and Fargesia sachalinensis showing high metal accumulation in roots and producing detoxicants with high antioxidative activity for metal tolerance. This study provides fundamental information on phytostabilization at mine sites.

Summary: Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) can recruit avian predators. Two common HIPVs were tested on different host plant species, and the results showed no significant differences in predation between treatment groups across any host plants. However, host plant species did have a significant impact on predation levels.

Summary: This study investigates the possible mode of action of methyl jasmonate (JA-Me) in inducing the formation of secondary abscission zone in the stems of Bryophyllum calycinum. The results show that JA-Me affects the endogenous levels of auxin and jasmonate-related compounds, leading to the formation of the abscission zone.

Summary: Prunella vulgaris L. is recognized for its medicinal significance in the treatment of mastitis, thyroid gland malfunctions, and infectious hepatitis in northeastern Asia and Europe. This study investigates the physiological responses, secondary metabolites, and gene expression of P. vulgaris in relation to hormone treatments. The findings reveal that methyl jasmonate treatment significantly increases antioxidant activity and the contents of secondary metabolites, whereas salicylic acid treatment has less impact on antioxidant enzymes and reduces the contents of certain secondary metabolites. These results provide insights into the regulation and improvement of P. vulgaris, enhancing its antioxidant capacity and stress resistance, and optimizing the quality of medicinal plants.

Summary: The research found that the volatile compounds in edible oils are linked to the fatty acid composition, with different oils having varying compositions. The roasted oils had a greater number of volatile compounds detected compared to natural pressed oils.

Summary: The study investigated the changes in total polar compounds in 10 edible oils during frying and their relationship with changes in carbonyl value. It found that the increase in total polar compounds was influenced by unsaturated fatty acids more significantly than tocopherols. A prediction model was established based on the initial composition ratio of unsaturated fatty acids and tocopherols for the rapid determination of carbonyl value in frying oil.

Summary: The development of methods to examine the molecular targets of biologically active compounds is a crucial subject in experimental biology and biochemistry. The usability of the NBD-S probe as a direct-labeling reagent was evaluated by synthesizing a bioactive chemical probe to inhibit cellulose biosynthesis. The results showed various fluorescently-labeled particles and organelles in root cap cells, particularly recognizably in detaching root cap cells, suggesting valuable information for studying molecular targets and events.
