Phytochemical investigation of the leaf latex of Aloe trichosantha by preparative TLC gave two closely related anthrones, aloin A/B (1) and aloin-6'-O-acetate A/B (2). The identity of the compounds was established from HRESI-MS, 1H, 13C, DEPT, HMQC and HMBC spectral and chemical data. Whilst aloin A/B occurs in several Aloe species, aloin-6'-O-acetate A/B was isolated for the first time. The isolated compounds inhibited growth of several bacterial and fungal pathogens with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) from 10 to 400 microg/mL and 800 to 1000 microg/mL, respectively.

Article Synopsis
  • A proteomic analysis of C. papaya infected by the papaya meleira virus complex (PMeV-complex) revealed significant changes in protein levels linked to photosynthesis and cell wall dynamics during the plant's development.
  • The study identified 345 proteins with altered accumulation across different growth stages, indicating that the plant undergoes various responses to the infection, especially during the juvenile and transition phases.
  • Results showed that younger infected plants had enhanced photosynthetic protein levels and energy efficiency, but struggled with maintaining cell wall integrity over time, leading to latex loss and suggesting a need for genetic improvements for better resistance to the virus.

The functions of major latex proteins (MLPs) in plant defense and stress responses have been widely documented; however, their roles in HT stress response in soybeans have not been elucidated. This study investigated the role of GmMLP34, a member of the major latex protein (MLP) family, in the response of soybeans to HT stress. Transcriptome analysis of HT-resistant (JD21) and HT-sensitive (HD14) soybean leaves under HT stress (43.
