The genome sequence of Barbarea vulgaris facilitates the study of ecological biochemistry [PDF]

, 2017
peer-reviewedThe genus Barbarea has emerged as a model for evolution and ecology of plant defense compounds, due to its unusual glucosinolate profile and production of saponins, unique to the Brassicaceae. One species, B.

Synergistic inhibition of α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase by phenolic compounds isolated from olive oil by‐products

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The inhibition of carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes, α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, is a key strategy in managing postprandial hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes. Natural phenolic compounds isolated from olive mill by‐product (alperujo), such as hydroxytyrosol (HT) and trans‐p‐coumaroyl secologanoside (comselogoside, COM), have shown ...

Metabolite Screening From Pinus pinea Needles Reveals (+)‐Isocupressic Acid as a Key Phytotoxin for Weed Management

Phytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.
This study explores the phytotoxicity of Pinus pinea needle extracts and metabolites to evaluate their potential for controlling dicotyledonous weeds. A strategy based on GC–MS, NMR, and optical methods revealed an array of aromatic compounds which are of crucial interest for phytochemical research. Hence, a bio‐guided purification led to the isolation

The soil mosaic hypothesis: a synthesis of multi-trophic diversification via soil heterogeneity

Ideas in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Myriad unexplored mechanisms potentially drive ecological speciation and could help explain global variation in diversity. Here, we develop a novel hypothesis focused on variation in biotic, chemical, and physical properties of soil as a factor ...

Integrating target capture with whole genome sequencing of recent and natural history collections to explain the phylogeography of wild‐growing and cultivated cannabis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cannabis has been used by humans for millennia, resulting in diverse landraces and uses. Its complex legal status and economic importance make sampling wild‐growing populations difficult, limiting past studies to modern cultivars with low genetic diversity. Our research provides crucial insights into the genetic diversity of wild‐growing and cultivated

Biopiracy and beauty brands? patent trends of cosmetics and skin care companies

The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract Concerns about the fairness and equity of ‘biodiscovery’ research endure despite the creation of legal frameworks designed to regulate access and benefit sharing involving genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge. While some industries that engage in biodiscovery have been the subject of sustained scrutiny, others have received ...

Phytochemistry and biological properties of glabridin [PDF]

Fitoterapia, 2013
Glabridin, a prenylated isoflavonoid of G. glabra L. roots (European licorice, Fabaceae), has been associated with a wide range of biological properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherogenic, regulation of energy metabolism, estrogenic, neuroprotective, anti-osteoporotic, and skin-whitening. While glabridin is one of the most studied
