Seasonal variations of the phytochemicals contents in needles of var. due to the effects of growth meteorological parameters were investigated in this study. The needles of var. were collected from different months and the contents of taxoids (paclitaxel, 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB), baccatin III, cephalomannine, 10-deacetyltaxol (10-DAT)), flavones (ginkgetin, amentoflavone, quercetin) and polysaccharides were quantified by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and the resonance light scattering (RIL) method. The content of taxoids gave the highest level of 1.77 ± 0.38 mg·g in January, and the lowest value of 0.61 ± 0.08 mg·g in September. Unlike taxoids, the content of flavonoids was the highest in August. The content of polysaccharides reached peak value of 28.52 ± 0.57 mg·g in September, which was two times higher than the lowest content of 9.39 ± 0.17 mg·g in January. The contents of paclitaxel, 10-DAB, 10-DAT and polysaccharides significantly depended on meteorological parameters. The mean of minimum temperature (R = -0.61) and length of daylight (R = -0.60) were significantly correlated to 10-DAB content, while 10-DAT level showed significant correlation with length of daylight (R = -0.70) and relative humidity (R = 0.70). In addition, temperature had significantly negative effect on the content of paclitaxel and a significantly positive effect on that of polysaccharides. This study enriched the knowledge on the accumulation pattern of metabolites and could help us to determine the collecting time of var. for medicinal use.

First Report of Leaf Blight on Caused by in China.
Plant Dis
October 2024
Hunan University of Science and Technology, Xiangtan, Hunan, China;
Article Synopsis
- A herb, identified as a perennial, possesses notable medicinal benefits including anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties but faced challenges when leaf blight disease appeared in Xiangtan City, impacting approximately 22% of affected plants.
- The disease symptoms began with water-soaked chlorosis in infected leaves, which progressed to dry yellow shrinkage spreading throughout the plants over a significant planting area of about 30,000 m².
- Researchers identified the disease's causal organisms through a series of laboratory techniques, including surface sterilization, culture on specific agar plates, and molecular identification using gene amplification, with results being deposited in GenBank for further study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined biodiversity in needle-broadleaf mixed forests and needleleaf forests in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, focusing on both species and functional traits of leaves.
- Leaf traits showed distinct differences, with needleleaf forests exhibiting thicker leaves and higher dry matter content compared to needle-broadleaf mixed forests, while the latter had a higher specific leaf area.
- The analysis revealed that needle-broadleaf mixed forests had significantly greater diversity indices (like species richness and functional richness) compared to needleleaf forests, highlighting a trend towards divergence in phylogenetic structure and the influence of competitive exclusion in these forest communities.

Alginate, categorized as a natural-based biodegradable polymer, stands out for its inherently exclusive properties. Although this unique polymer is widely processed using film, coating, and membrane technologies for different usage areas, textile applications are still limited. This study aims to compile promising approaches that will pave the way for the use of wet-spun alginate filaments in textile applications.

Jiangxi Agricultural University, Forest Protection, 1101 Zhimin Rd., Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, 330045, Nanchang, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, 330045;
Article Synopsis
- - Fusarium rot on melons is a significant postharvest disease caused by various Fusarium pathogens, with a reported incidence of around 10% in a specific field in Huainan, China, during 2022.
- - A muskmelon fruit with visible fungal colonization was collected and studied, leading to the isolation of a single-spore strain labeled TGGF22-17, which exhibited specific morphological characteristics on different growth media.
- - Genetic analysis of the strain was conducted by amplifying and sequencing three gene loci (TEF-1α, RPB1, and RPB2), with the sequences available in GenBank for further study.
