Comprehensive Insights into Natural Bioactive Compounds: From Chemical Diversity and Mechanisms to Biotechnological Innovations and Applications

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Natural products derived from plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and minerals contain diverse bioactive classes such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, and phenolics. These natural products work through different mechanisms, including ROS inhibition, NF‐κB suppression, and cytokine regulation, and exhibit wide applications across ...

Biostimulants in plant brassinosteroid hormone receptor BRI1 activation-a new system to evaluate activation capacity. [PDF]

FEBS J
Biostimulants improve plant growth and have shown promise in agronomic applications and boosting crop yield. Because biostimulants typically present as a mixture of active components, new methods are required to characterize their mode of action. Here, we describe a novel assay that evaluates plant biostimulants targeting the brassinosteroid receptor ...

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

Plant biostimulants and their potential role in achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plant biostimulants are substances that are obtained from a variety of sources and are applied in minute quantities to enhance plant growth and vigor. In this review we detail how the use of plant biostimulants may contribute to efforts to achieving a number of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are
