Four new isomeric macrolides of combretastatin D-2 congeners named isocorniculatolide A (1), 11-O-methylisocorniculatolide A (2), 11-O-methylcorniculatolide A (3), and 12-hydroxy-11-O-methylcorniculatolide A (4), and the known corniculatolide A (5), arjunolic acid, and maslinic acid were isolated from the CHCl(3) extract of the bark of Aegiceras corniculatum. The structures of the new compounds (1-4) were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analysis (1-5), chemical modifications, and single-crystal X-ray analysis (1).

Foliar Water Uptake Supports Water Potential Recovery but Does Not Affect Xylem Sap Composition in Two Salt-Secreting Mangroves.

Mangroves are highly salt-tolerant species, which live in saline intertidal environments, but rely on alternative, less saline water to maintain hydraulic integrity and plant productivity. Foliar water uptake (FWU) is thought to assist in hydration of mangroves, particularly during periods of acute water deficit. We investigated the dynamics of FWU in Avicennia marina and Aegiceras corniculatum by submerging and spraying excised branches and measuring leaf water potential (Ψ) at different time intervals.

Mangroves serve as biotic fences of estuarine belts consisting of salt-tolerant plants that grow in intertidal zones and can be regenerated naturally as well as artificially. Mangrove regeneration refers to the process of restoring or rebuilding mangrove ecosystems that have been already degraded, damaged, or lost from their native place through the monitoring of geomorphological, taxonomical, pedological, and ecological aspects. The primary objective of this study was based on the remote sensing application through several important health monitoring indices over the minute part of Indian Sundarbans to prove the possibility of mangrove regeneration.

Mangroves serve a crucial role as metal accumulators in tropical and subtropical marine ecosystems, particularly in riverine mangroves, which frequently interact with terrestrial sources. In this study, we focused on the Gaoqiao and Jiuzhou Rivers within the Zhanjiang mangrove forest in Guangdong, China, and collected leaves and surface sediments from the dominant mangrove plant, Aegiceras corniculatum, near the riverbanks. We focused on seven heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Hg) in mangrove leaves, surface sediments, and pore water due to their environmental significance and frequent occurrence in mangrove ecosystems.
