The objectives of this study were to investigate the radical-scavenging activity of Ligularia fischeri on oxidative damage by the radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and to rapidly identify the active components using the bioassay-linked fractionation method. The MeOH extract and fractions of CH(2)Cl(2), BuOH, and H(2)O from L. fischeri showed DPPH radical-scavenging effects in a dose-dependent manner (p < 0.01). In particular, the BuOH fraction had the most effective (p < 0.05) antioxidative capacity. The active constituents from the BuOH fraction of L. fischeri were rapidly isolated by bioassay-linked HPLC method and identified as hyperoside and 2''-acetylhyperoside with potent antioxidant effects against the DPPH radical, with IC(50) values of 1.31 and 7.09 microg/mL, respectively. They have not been reported from L. fischeri yet.

Article Synopsis
- Ledeb. is a perennial herb from the Compositae family, grown in China for its medicinal, ornamental, and edible uses, and was affected by a leaf spot disease in 2021, with over 37% of plants showing symptoms.
- Infected leaves exhibited irregular reddish-brown spots that progressed to withering and merging into larger lesions, though roots and stems were unaffected during the reproductive stage.
- Research involved isolating the pathogen from diseased leaves and identifying it through morphological characteristics and genetic analysis, eventually confirming the identity of isolate TYTW7 based on established methods.

Background: Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is an important virus affecting many vegetable crops in Egypt. In this study, virus isolates were collected from naturally infected potato, tomato, alfalfa and clover plants that showed suspected symptoms of AMV in different locations of Beheira and Alexandria governorates during the 2019-2020 growing season. The relative incidence of the virus ranged from 11-25% based on visual observations of symptoms and ELISA testing.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores how severe drought stress affects a leafy edible plant's physiological and molecular responses, particularly focusing on phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.
- The research identifies specific anthocyanins and flavones that are increased under drought conditions, while certain caffeoylquinic acids and flavonols decrease.
- Using RNA sequencing, the study finds over 500 genes that respond to drought, with a significant number impacting the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds, showing the plant's adaptation mechanisms to drought stress.
