A new monoterpene, (-)-10-hydroxydihydroactinidiolide (1), along with two known monoterpenes, loliolide (2) and (+)-isololiolide (3), three known megastigmanes, 3α-hydroxy-5β,6β-epoxy-β-ionone (4), 3α-hydroxy-5α,6α-epoxy-β-ionone (5), and (+)-dehydrovomifoliol (6), a eudesmane-type sesquiterpene, 4α-hydroxy-4β-methyldihydrocostol (7), a monoterpene, 8-hydroxycarvotanacetone (8), two flavonoids, chrysoeriol (9) and apigenin (10), and a phenylpropanoid, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol (11), were isolated from the whole plant of Achillea millefolium. The structure of compound 1 was identified according to spectroscopic data of HRMS and NMR, and its absolute configuration was assigned by C NMR calculations with DP4+ probability analyses and ECD calculations. The absolute configuration of compound 6 was determined by ECD calculations.

- Chlorophyll is crucial for plant photosynthesis and this study focused on its role in improving sugarcane yield by examining the chlorophyll content of 285 sugarcane progenies from a specific cross.
- Measurements of chlorophyll content were taken during the elongation phase, and results indicated significant correlations between chlorophyll levels and other growth factors, suggesting it’s a good indicator of sugarcane health and productivity.
- The study identified 31 quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with chlorophyll content and highlighted 20 candidate genes related to chlorophyll synthesis and function, providing insights into the genetic factors influencing this important trait.
