Imported fire ants are pests of significant importance, especially in the southern United States. We tested (/)-3-butylidenephthalide, a natural compound that was isolated from the ethanolic extract of roots, as a repellent and toxicant against workers of imported fire ants. A series of serial concentrations, starting from 156 µg/g until failure, were tested using digging bioassays.

Article Synopsis
- Ligusticum sinense cv. Chuanxiong (L. Chuanxiong), a common traditional Chinese medicine, is facing issues with high cadmium (Cd) levels, which impact its safety and quality for clinical use and international trade.
- A study was conducted under 25 μM Cd stress to examine the plant's physiological and biochemical responses, revealing that this concentration did not hinder growth but actually increased chlorophyll a and root activity, indicating a hormesis effect.
- The research also found that Cd stress led to thickened root cell walls and increased levels of glutathione (GSH), which helped mitigate oxidative stress and suggested mechanisms for Cd absorption and accumulation in L. Chuanxiong.
