Phytotoxic Effects of Ethanolic Extracts of Magonia pubescens A.St.‐Hil. (Sapindaceae) on the Germination of Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. Seeds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Ethanolic extracts from Magonia pubescens exhibit concentration‐dependent allelopathic activity against Emilia sonchifolia. Leaf extracts strongly inhibit seed germination and seedling growth, surpassing glyphosate under the tested conditions, whereas intermediate concentrations stimulate germination, indicating hormesis.

Contrasting Coastal Environments Are Associated With Ecotype‐Specific Leaf Polyphenolic Profiles and Bioactivity in Corema album subsp. album

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2026.
Leaves of two Corema album subsp. album ecotypes from two contrasting coastal microclimates were analysed using mineral profiling, (poly)phenolic assays, and LC–MS metabolomics. Ecotype‐specific metabolic strategies were revealed, linking environmental stress to antioxidant and cytotoxic activities.
