The kinetics solid-liquid extraction of phenolics from wild olive leaves was elaborated using different mathematical models (Peleg, second order, Elovich, and power law model). As solvents, methanol, ethanol, ethanol:water 1:1, -propanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate were used. The second order model best described the solvent extraction process, followed by the Elovich model. The most effective solvent was ethanol with optimum phenol extraction conditions 180 min, solvent to sample ratio 5:1 v/w and pH 2. Ethanol extract exhibited the highest antiradical activity among solvent and supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) extracts, which in addition showed the highest antioxidant capacity compared to synthetic and natural food antioxidants such as BHT, ascorbyl palmitate and vitamin E. Antioxidant potential of SFE extract was quite high, although its phenolic potential was not. Leaf extracts were proven to be good protectors for olive and sunflower oils at levels of 150 ppm.

Article Synopsis
- Castor bean, known scientifically as Ricinus communis, is grown for its oil and ornamental purposes, particularly for its attractive foliage, and has naturalized in places like Sinaloa, Mexico.
- A 2019 survey found that wild castor bean in Sinaloa was significantly impacted by a foliar blight resembling that caused by the fungus Alternaria ricini, with disease incidence varying between 20% to 60% across different sites.
- Samples collected revealed that long-beaked Alternaria was present in 60% to 70% of the leaf fragments tested, with distinct morphological characteristics aligning with descriptions of A. ricini, indicating a potential link between the disease observed in Sinaloa and previously noted occurrences in the

Social support, via investment in relationships of importance with others, is often emphasized as a pathway towards mediating stress. The effectiveness of social support, however, can be altered by personality differences, but the physiological consequences of such covariation are still poorly explored. How do individual differences in the functioning of the stress response system mediate access to, and use of, social support? To examine this dynamic, we investigated glucocorticoids as a biomarker of energetic activation that may also be activated by chronic psychosocial stress.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the role of the PtoASMT gene in melatonin biosynthesis in poplar trees, which affects their growth and stress responses.
- PtoASMT is highly expressed in various poplar tissues, particularly in petioles, and influences melatonin levels, contributing to drought tolerance and resistance to certain fungi.
- Overexpressing PtoASMT improves drought resistance and reduces reactive oxygen species compared to wild-type plants, while knockout variants show increased sensitivity.
