Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
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 ...

Constituents From the Flowers of Viburnum macrocephalum f. macrocephalum and Their α-Amylase and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Activities. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
Two new cadinane‑type sesquiterpenes, viburetones A and B, were isolated from Viburnum macrocephalum flowers, marking the first cadinane skeletons in this genus. Viburetone A showed dual α‑amylase and α‑glucosidase inhibition comparable to acarbose, and docking clarified its binding.

Plant sesquiterpene lactones

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Sesquiterpene lactones (STLs) are a prominent group of plant secondary metabolites predominantly found in the Asteraceae family and have multiple ecological roles and medicinal applications. This review describes the evolutionary and ecological significance of STLs, highlighting their roles in plant defence mechanisms against herbivory and as ...

Copaiba oleoresin as a substitute for sodium lasalocid in high‐concentrate diets for lambs: growth performance, ingestive behavior, and metabolic and ruminal parameters

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The indiscriminate and excessive use of ionophore additives has been associated with the emergence of multi‐resistant pathogenic strains and the global spread of antibiotic resistance, raising serious public health concerns. Thus, plant biocompounds have been the focus of several studies aiming to replace ionophore additives in ...
