Bioassay-guided extraction and fractionation of the aqueous methanolic extract of the cones of Pinus densiflora (Pinaceae) afforded one new labdane-type diterpene aldehyde, 15-nor-14-oxolabda-8(17),12 E-diene-18-oic acid, along with eight known diterpenes. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods as well as by comparison with previously reported data. The isolates showed antibacterial (Propionibacterium acnes) and antifungal activities.

Article Synopsis
- Diplodia shoot blight and canker disease (DSB) is caused by the fungal pathogen Diplodia sapinea and primarily affects 2-3 needled pines, such as ponderosa pine, resulting in various symptoms including necrotic needles, cankers, and dieback.
- The pathogen can exist without visible symptoms in trees, making it difficult to detect, and outbreaks are more common in stressed environments like nurseries and seed orchards.
- Although D. sapinea has not been previously reported in Colorado, studies confirmed its presence and pathogenicity after observing symptoms in ponderosa pines in Wyoming in 2018 and discovering symptomatic trees in Colorado in 2021.

Background/objectives: The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has urged researchers to explore new antimicrobial agents, such as essential oils (EOs). The aim of this study was to examine chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the EOs from the needles and green cones of four species ( Turra., J.

The optimal timing of the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth is critical for plant reproductive success, and the underlying regulatory mechanisms have been well studied in angiosperm model species, but relatively little in gymnosperms. DAL1, a MADS domain transcription factor (TF) that shows a conserved age-related expression profile in conifers, may be an age timer. However, how DAL1 mediates the onset of reproductive growth remains poorly understood.

α-Pinene is the bicyclic, unsaturated terpene hydrocarbon present in many plants. Due to its beneficial chemical properties, this compound is of great interest and has found numerous applications as a raw material in many chemical industries as well as in medicine and cosmetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activities of ethanolic extracts obtained from plants containing α-pinene and to test the properties of cosmetic emulsions prepared with these extracts.
