Sixteen compounds were extracted and purified from the leaves of Liriodendron tulipifera. These compounds include aporphines, oxoaporphine, coumarin, sesquiterpene lactone, benzenoids, cyclitol and steroids. (+)-Norstephalagine (2) (an aporphine) and scopoletin (8) (a coumarin) were isolated from Liriodendron tulipifera leaves from the first time. The identified compounds were screened for their antiradical scavenging, metal chelating and ferric reducing power activities. The results have showed that these compounds have antioxidative activity. The study has also examined the chemopreventive property of the isolated compounds against human melanoma cells A375. The results shown that (-)-anonaine (1), (-)-liridinine (3), (+)-lirinidine (6), lysicamine (7) and epitulipinolide diepoxide (9) significantly inhibited the proliferation of melanoma cells. These results revealed that these compounds have antioxidative activity and chemopreventive activity in skin melanoma cells.

The precise expression of transcription factors (TFs) is crucial for plant growth and development, especially during somatic embryogenesis. However, conventional overexpression approaches, commonly used for functional genetics, can lead to deleterious effects. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that TFs are expressed in a controlled and timely manner when aiming to enhance the efficiency of somatic embryogenesis.

Large cities are typically characterized by a mosaic of green spaces that hold a remarkable variety of native and "exotic" plants. Urban beekeeping has gained increasing popularity. In order to characterize the "urban" in the honey, pollen diversity in 50 honey samples from 18 apiary locations in Vienna, Austria, was microscopically analyzed.

Two new tetraketide-derived phenol rhamnosides [botryrhamnosides A (1) and B (2)] and a new rhamnosylated tryptophol alkaloid (botryrhamnoside C, 3), along with seven related known compounds (4-10) were isolated from the solid culture of Botryosphaeria dothidea LE-07, an endophytic fungus residing in the leaves of the rare medicinal plant Chinese tulip tree (Liriodendron chinense). Their structures with the absolute configurations were determined by a combination of spectroscopy methods, comparing specific rotations, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 are rare tetraketide-derived resorcinols incorporating a l-rhamnose moiety, while 3 represents the first example of rhamnose-bound tryptophol derivatives produced by microorganisms.
