Biosynthesis of the Major Tetrahydroxystilbenes in Spruce, Astringin and Isorhapontin, Proceeds via Resveratrol and Is Enhanced by Fungal Infection [PDF]
Abstract Stilbenes are dibenzyl polyphenolic compounds produced in several unrelated plant families that appear to protect against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Stilbene biosynthesis has been well described in economically important plants, such as grape (Vitis vinifera), peanut (Arachis hypogaea), and pine (Pinus species ...

Lignin from Tree Barks: Chemical Structure and Valorization. [PDF]
Bark for good: Tree barks are low‐cost and abundant lignocellulosic wastes produced by the wood industries. This study concerns the detailed structural characterization of lignin from different tree barks, which will be of great help for the development of efficient conversion technologies of these materials and will aid in their full valorization. The

Abstract Grafting is widely used in horticulture. Shortly after grafting, callus tissues appear at the graft interface and the vascular tissues of the scion and rootstock connect. The graft interface contains a complex mix of tissues, we hypothesised that each tissue has its own metabolic response to wounding/grafting and accumulates different ...

Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted

We investigated the neuroprotective effect of piceatannol and passion fruit seed extract (PFSE) rich in this compound in an Alzheimer's disease (AD) mimic cell model. Both piceatannol and PFSE were found to protect beta‐amyloid‐induced neurite fragmentation in the AD cell model.

Abstract Introduction Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) is one of the most valuable conifer wood species in Europe. Among the main opportunistic pathogens that cause root and butt rot on silver fir are Armillaria ostoyae and Heterobasidion abietinum. Due to the different enzymatic pools of these wood‐decay fungi, different strategies in metabolizing the ...
