Evaluating the source of nicotine in e-liquid is a problem. Tobacco-derived nicotine contains predominantly (S)-(-)-nicotine, whereas tobacco-free nicotine products may not. Thus, we developed a new normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography method to determinate the enantiomeric composition of nicotine in 10 kinds of flue-cured tobacco, 3 kinds of burley, 1 kind of cigar tobacco, 2 kinds of oriental tobacco, 5 kinds of Virginia cigarette, 5 kinds of blend cigarette, 10 kinds of e-liquid, and 4 kinds of smokeless tobacco. The amount of (R)-(+)-nicotine ranged from ~0.02% to ~0.76% of total nicotine. An e-liquid sample had the highest level of (R)-(+)-nicotine. The extraction and purification processes used to obtain commercial (S)-(-)-nicotine from the tobacco do not decrease the amount of (R)-(+)-nicotine in tobacco. So the amount of (R)-(+)-nicotine in samples in our work were the same as tobacco samples.

Bacterial wilt disease alters the structure and function of fungal communities around plant roots.
BMC Plant Biol

Beijing Life Science Academy, Beijing, 102200, China.
Background: Fungal communities around plant roots play crucial roles in maintaining plant health. Nonetheless, the responses of fungal communities to bacterial wilt disease remain poorly understood. Here, the structure and function of fungal communities across four consecutive compartments (bulk soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane and root endosphere) were investigated under the influence of bacterial wilt disease.

In flowering plants, the success of fertilization depends on the rapid polar extension of a pollen tube, which delivers sperm cells to the female gametophyte for fertilization. Numerous studies have shown that the microenvironment in planta is more conducive to the growth and development of pollen tubes than that in vitro. However, how stigma factors coordinate to regulate pollen tube growth is still poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- * A six-month cross-sectional study was conducted to assess tobacco habits and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) among patients, focusing on consumption patterns, reasons for use, and age groups.
- * Findings revealed higher tobacco use in males, particularly chewing tobacco; OPMDs like tobacco pouch keratosis and leukoplakia were prevalent, with stress often cited as a key factor in tobacco consumption.
Quantitation of Vaporized γ-Aminobutyric Acid in Cigarette Smoke Extract From e-Cigarettes by the Combination of HPLC-Fluorescence Detection and Derivatization With DBD-F.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which has attracted much attention as a bioactive ingredient, is used in functional foods. Recently, electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) products for inhaling vaporized GABA have become commercially available. In this study, we developed a high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence method for detecting GABA derivatized with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) in cigarette smoke extract (CSE).

Article Synopsis
- The fall armyworm is a serious agricultural pest that harms various crops, prompting a study on the effectiveness of native plant extracts as natural insecticides.
- Different concentrations of ethanolic plant extracts were tested on third-instar larvae, revealing significant mortality rates, especially at the highest concentration (400 ppm) compared to a standard chemical insecticide, Spinetoram.
- Analysis showed the plant extracts contained biologically active compounds, suggesting they could serve as eco-friendly alternatives for pest control, benefiting both the economy and the environment.
