Fourteen chromane derivatives of seven pairs of enantiomers (1-14) have been obtained from the ethanolic extract of the flower buds of Tussilago farfara L. Their structures with absolute configurations have been elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analyses, chemical methods, and particularly comparison of experimental ECD spectra with theoretically computed ones. Biological evaluations revealed that they did not show cytoprotective, antimicrobial, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

Cloves (), a tree in the Myrtaceae family, are indigenous to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia and are widely utilized as a spice. Essential oils are commonly extracted from clove leaves, flower buds, and stalks. However, due to supply constraints, other clove species, notably , are sometimes used as substitutes, leading to lower-grade essential oils.

The use of stored carbon is essential for new organ development in deciduous trees during early spring. However, the contribution of carbon to the development of new organs in early spring of subsequent years is not well understood. Using a C labelling approach, we investigated the reallocation of assimilated carbon into new aboveground organs on apple (Malus domestica) saplings in the following two years.

Climate change, drought, and soil salinization present huge limitations to global agricultural output, which threatens food security. This necessitates the cultivation and domestication of wild edible halophytes as alternatives to mainstream food crops, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. is one of the under-researched and underutilized edible halophytes native to South Africa.
