Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Sequestration, that is, the accumulation of plant toxins into body tissues for defense, was predicted to incur physiological costs and may require resistance traits different from those of non‐sequestering insects.

Characterization and Chromatographic Fingerprint Analysis of Traditional Wallflower Oil [PDF]
Research Journal of Pharmacognosy, 2021 Background and objective: Wallflower oil is made from the flowers of Erysimum cheiri (L.) Crantz which is a herb rich in cardenolide compounds. Wallflower oil was traditionally indicated for analgesic, anti-inflammatory, hair tonic, and wound healing ...

Reevesioside A, a cardenolide glycoside, induces anticancer activity against human hormone-refractory prostate cancers through suppression of c-myc expression and induction of G1 arrest of the cell cycle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the past decade, there has been a profound increase in the number of studies revealing that cardenolide glycosides display inhibitory activity on the growth of human cancer cells.

Unraveling the roles of genotype and environment in the expression of plant defense phenotypes
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Phenotypic variability results from interactions between genotype and environment and is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary interactions. Measuring the relative contributions of genetic variation, the environment, and their interaction to ...

Two New Cyototoxic Cardenolides from the Whole Plants of Adonis multiflora Nishikawa & Koki Ito
Molecules, 2015 A phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Adonis multiflora Nishikawa & Koki Ito. resulted in the isolation and identification of two new cardenolides—adonioside A (1) and adonioside B (6)—as well as four known cardenolides: tupichinolide (

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Belowground symbionts of plants can have substantial influence on plant growth and nutrition. Recent work demonstrates that mycorrhizal fungi can affect plant resistance to herbivory and the performance of above and belowground herbivores. Although these
