Ten triterpenoids were isolated from the exudate of Salvia argentea L. var. aurasiaca (Pomel) Batt. & Trab. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS analyses as 11α-methoxyurs-12-ene-1β,3β,15α-triol (1), urs-12-ene-1β,3β,11α,15α-tetraol (2), 11α-methoxyurs-12-ene-1β,3β-diol (3), 1β,3β,15α-trihydroxy-11α-methoxyurs-12-en-28-al (4), 1β,3β,15α-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-al (5), urs-12-ene-1β,3β,15α,28-tetraol (6), 11α-methoxyurs-12-ene-1β,3β,28-triol (7), 13β,28-epoxyurs-12-ene-1β,3β-diol (8), urs-12-ene-3β,7β,15α,28-tetraol (9) and olean-12-ene-3β,7β,15α,28-tetraol (10). A chemotaxonomic survey of the triterpenoids of Salvia species show that triterpenoids from the exudate of S. argentea var. aurasiaca (Pomel) Batt. & Trab., provide some features, such as hydroxylation at C-15, and hydroxylation at C-7. On this basis, S. argentea L. var. aurasiaca (Pomel) Batt. & Trab., is quite different from S. argentea L.

Dopamine-derived pigments in nature: identification of decarboxybetalains in Amaranthaceae species.

A unique family of decarboxylated betalains derived from dopamine has recently been discovered. Due to the lack of chemical standards, the existence and distribution of decarboxylated betalains in nature remain unknown. Traditional betalains contain L-dihydroxyphenylalanine as the starting point of the biosynthetic pathway and betalamic acid as a structural and functional unit, while the recently discovered betalains rely on dopamine.

Article Synopsis
  • A significant incidence of withering leaves and lesions on plumed cockscombs was observed in Taichung City, Taiwan, affecting 22% of 136 plants, primarily after heavy rainfall, which diminished the plants' aesthetic appeal in gardens and parks.
  • Disease symptoms were analyzed by collecting affected plant samples, disinfecting them, and isolating the fungi using specific nutrient agar, resulting in four distinct isolates that displayed characteristic fungal structures and reproductive spores.
  • Molecular identification of the isolates was carried out through amplification of specific genetic markers, with high identity percentages confirmed through BLAST analysis, leading to a phylogenetic tree construction that grouped all
