The cyclopentane core framework 23 of pactamycin (1) was synthesized in 14 steps from symmetric cyclohexadiene 11. Our synthetic strategy features Rh-mediated catalytic desymmetrization of 10 via aziridination and then regioselective ring-opening reaction of sulfonylaziridine 9 with NaN, ring-contraction of cyclohexene 14 by ozonolysis followed by intramolecular aldol reaction, and stereoselective construction of the sequential tetrasubstituted carbons by dihydroxylation and methylation reaction. Stereospecific incorporation of amine on tetrasubstituted carbon was achieved by Curtius rearrangement and subsequent carbamide formation.

Autophagy, one of the most widespread and highly conserved protein degradation systems in eukaryotic cells, plays an important role in plant growth, development and stress response. Beclin 1 is a core component of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) autophagy complex and positively regulates plant immunity against viruses. The upregulation of Eureka lemon ClBeclin1 was observed in response to citrus yellow vein clearing virus (CYVCV) infection.

Daphnimacropodines A-C are members of a small but structurally distinct subfamily of alkaloids. Their congested polycyclic skeletons, and two vicinal quaternary stereocenters, present significant synthetic challenges. This paper describes two stereoselective approaches to constructing the tricyclic core structures of daphnimacropodines, achieved through a straightforward Rh-catalyzed [4 + 3] cycloaddition using simple building blocks.

Jasmonates are a family of oxylipin phytohormones regulating plant development and growth and mediating "defense versus growth" responses. The upstream JA biosynthetic precursor cis-(+)-12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (cis-OPDA) acts independently of CORONATIVE INSENSITIVE 1-mediated JA signaling in several stress-induced and developmental processes. However, its perception and metabolism are only partially understood.

Many plants associate with endophytic microbes that improve root phosphorus (P) uptake. Understanding the interactions between roots and endophytes can enable efforts to improve P utilization. Here, we characterize the interactions between lateral roots of endophytes in a core collection of 50 rapeseed (Brassica napus L.
