A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Investigating the Effect of Anaerobic Digestion Residue on Basil Growth, Secondary Metabolite Synthesis, and Growing Substrate Properties

Crops
To assess digestate’s efficacy as a fertilizer for basil development, a two-year pot experiment was established, comprising four fertilization treatments: namely, mineral fertilizer (F), digestate (D), combined mineral fertilizer and digestate (1:1, FD),

Larvicidal Potential of the Halogenated Sesquiterpene (+)-Obtusol, Isolated from the Alga Laurencia dendroidea J. Agardh (Ceramiales: Rhodomelaceae), against the Dengue Vector Mosquito Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae)

Marine Drugs, 2016
Dengue is considered a serious public health problem in many tropical regions of the world including Brazil. At the moment, there is no viable alternative to reduce dengue infections other than controlling the insect vector, Aedes aegypti Linnaeus.

Chemical diversity and phylogenetic insights into Hawaiian ʻākia (Wikstroemia) species used in traditional fishing practices

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Traditional fishing with plant‐based piscicides is a global practice in decline, facing increasing restrictions. We investigated the chemical diversity of endemic Wikstroemia species historically used to stun or poison fish in Hawaiʻi. Using 1‐H‐NMR, principal component analysis, targeted HPLC, and target‐capture sequencing, we characterized compounds ...

Differential Analysis of Sesquiterpenoids of Atractylodes macrocephalus from Different Origins Based on Transcriptomics

Molecules
Atractylodes macrocephala (A.M.) is a traditional Chinese medicinal and edible herb renowned for its spleen-tonifying, dampness-resolving, diuretic, and antiperspirant properties. Its primary bioactive constituents are terpenoids, which have demonstrated

Behavioural manipulation of the cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala L): Prospects for push–pull strategies in oilseed rape

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Behavioural manipulation of Psylliodes chrysocephala provides promising opportunities for sustainable pest management in oilseed rape systems. This review synthesises evidence on glucosinolates and their volatile isothiocyanate derivatives as phagostimulants and attractants, alongside the repellent or antifeedant effects of non‐host plants, plant ...

Dose–response modelling uncovers compound‐specific inhibitory effects of host defence volatiles on mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...

Endophytic fungi from two isolated Bethencourtia palmensis populations: metabolomic and bioactivity fingerprinting

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
We compared two island populations of Bethencourtia palmensis and their culturable endophytic fungi, revealing distinct plant chemistries and a higher biopesticidal potential in the endophytic fungi from La Palma population along with high potential for the discovery of novel compounds.
