A new phenanthropyran, dioscorone B (), and a new phenanthrene (), together with seven known compounds (-), were isolated from the 75% ethanol extract of rhizomes. The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic methods including NMR, HRESIMS, IR, and UV spectra. Compounds were first isolated from genus . The proton and carbon chemical shifts of compounds - were unambiguously assigned based on the 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR data. Compounds - and - were first tested for their antioxidant activities. Compounds and showed excellent activities with IC values of 0.07 ± 0.10 μM and 0.13 ± 0.09 μM, respectively.

Chromium (Cr) is an ever-present abiotic stress that negatively affects crop cultivation and production worldwide. High rhizospheric Cr concentrations inhibit nutrients uptake and their translocation to aboveground parts, thus can affect the growth and development of crop plants. This experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of sole and combined zinc-lysine and iron-lysine applications on photosynthetic efficacy, antioxidative defense, oxidative stress, and nutrient uptake and translocation under Cr stress.

The increasing global prevalence of Alzheimer's disease necessitates the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Neurodegenerative diseases are associated with increased oxidative stress and levels of cholinesterase enzymes. Hence, the development of cholinesterase inhibitors and antioxidants may provide neuroprotective effects.

Abscisic acid (ABA) mediated stomatal closure is a highly effective mode of active stomatal regulation under drought stress. Previous studies on stomatal regulation have primarily focused on the leaves of vascular plants, while research on the stomatal behavior of bulbous plants remains unknown. In addition, ABA-induced stomatal regulation in bulbs has yet to be explored.
