Mechanisms of Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Activity of Extracts of Selected South African Celastraceae and Crassulaceae Plant Species With Known Efficacy Against Bovine Mastitis Bacterial Pathogens. [PDF]
Inflammation, a complicated reaction to microbial infection or injury, promotes healing under normal circumstances. However, when it becomes uncontrolled, it can result in cell damage or even death. Inflammation is a major feature of infectious mastitis in cattle as well as in humans, with substantial health, welfare and financial challenges ...

Development of Halochromic and Bioactive Polyvinyl Alcohol Films Enriched With <i>Kalanchoë blossfeldiana</i> Anthocyanins for Active and Intelligent Poultry Packaging. [PDF]
Anthocyanin‐enriched PVA films derived from Kalanchoë blossfeldiana demonstrated halochromic color changes in response to poultry spoilage, effectively correlating with pH, TVB‐N, and peroxide levels. These biodegradable films exhibited strong antioxidant (~70%) and antimicrobial activity (up to 8 mm inhibition zones).

Quality Control Strategies for Differentiation of Kalanchoe Species. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Kalanchoe species products are commercially available in local markets and by internationally accessible online retailers and may exhibit quality issues because of misidentification from similar common names and anatomical similarities among related species used as feedstock. This study proposes an approach using UPLC‐MS/MSE and HPTLC, coupled

A Highly Stable Zinc‐Mimosinate Metal–Organic Framework for Controlled Agrochemical Delivery
The graphical abstract illustrates the design of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as agrochemicals constructed from active building blocks. The highly robust GR‐MOF‐25 is assembled from the natural herbicide L‐mimosine and Zn2+ ions, combining herbicidal, micronutrient, and antibacterial properties.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

ABSTRACT Various factors can trigger water stress in plants, particularly in those growing in dry tropical regions. To survive under such conditions, plants produce metabolites with adaptive functions. However, metabolomic data on the leaves of Malpighiaceae species cultivated in both dry and humid tropical areas of Brazil remain scarce.

Inflorescence Development and Composition in Kalanchoe(Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln.).
The process of inflorescence development from flower initiation to anthesis was observed in a dichasium, kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln.) 'Red Glow'. Our major interests were why, when, and how florets aborted. To describe and analyze inflorescence development, an inflorescence was classified into 4 structural hierarchies: An inflorescence ...

This study employed integrated analyses of chloroplast DNA and nuclear genes, which revealed significant divergence in genetic structure between the two genomic compartments in Xinjiang wild apricots, reflecting complex evolutionary processes influenced by natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. Population history analyses indicated an absence
