The analysis by HPLC-PDA of the hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves of together with the injection of the fractions containing the already identified metabolites allowed the detection of at least 5 flavonoids, of which two are derived from apigenin and three from luteolin. After isolating larger amounts of isovitexin (I), assays were performed to evaluate the allelopathic activity together with the crude extract. The results show that the initial inhibition indexes were very similar to those observed in the treatments with F17 (Fraction enriched in isovitexin) and F18 (isovitexin), mainly in the concentrations of 500 and 1000 mg L. The index of the number of lateral roots, an increase of the inhibitory effect is observed with the increase of the concentration of extract.

Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms in lakes are primarily driven by nutrient and temperature conditions, yet the interplay of these abiotic factors with microbial community dynamics during bloom events is complex and challenging to unravel. Despite advances through deep sequencing approaches, the underlying transcriptomic changes occurring within blooming and non-blooming taxa remains an actively expanding area of study. In this work, we examined a spring-summer bloom event in Anderson Lake, WA, which has experienced recurring annual blooms dominated by the filamentous, anatoxin-a producing, diazotroph: Dolichospermum sp.

Invasive weed species exhibit both advantages, such as the potential for allelochemicals in bioherbicide development, and risks, including their threat to crop production. Therefore, this study aims to identify an allelochemical from , an invasive weed species. The dose-dependent effects of shoot and root extracts (SSE, SRE) on the signaling in the forage crop and germination in various weed species (, , , , and ) were evaluated.

The underlying cause can be attributed to the accumulation of and alterations in root exudates; which interact with soil-borne pathogens; particularly ; triggering disease outbreaks that severely affect its yield and quality. It is therefore crucial to elucidate the mechanisms by which root exudates induce CCS043 outbreaks.
