Bidens pilosa L. is a widely distributed Cd-hyperaccumulator species in the world with large biomass and fast growth rate. The Cd accumulating differences between different ecotypes of B. pilosa is not clear. This experiment firstly compared the Cd concentrations and relative physio-biochemical indices using two B. pilosa ecotypes collected from clean soils. The results showed that the Cd concentrations of stems and leaves of Hanzhong ecotype of B. pilosa (HZ) and Shenyang ecotype (SY) were all higher than their root Cd concentrations in different Cd concentration gradient experiment (from 2.57 mg kg to 37.17 mg kg in soils). Cd concentrations of the roots, stems and leaves of HZ and SY were all higher than in the soils either. However, HZ accumulated higher Cd concentrations than SY, i.e. roots increased by 32.7-45.8%, stems increased by 32.3-46.6% and leaves increased by 33.4-68.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the biomasses of HZ were all higher than the SY either. Compared to SY, higher Cd accumulation of HZ might be relevant with its higher photosynthetic pigment content, stomatal conductance, intercellular CO concentration, some antioxidant enzyme activities, H-ATPase, Ca-ATPase and 5'-AMPase activities, and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content. Particularly, the changes of extractable Cd concentrations in rhizospheric soils of HZ and SY were corresponding to their Cd concentrations. Considering the two different ecotypes of HZ and SY were all collected from different clean farmlands, the new foundings that different mechanisms of HZ and SY accumulating Cd from the soil might be very important for screening and constructing ideal hyperaccumulator aimed at improving phytoremediation capacities in the future.

Article Synopsis
  • B. pilosa L. is an edible herb traditionally used for healing, and a recent study conducted a detailed analysis of its extract using advanced techniques like UPLC/T-TOF-MS/MS and GC-MS.
  • The study found that unsaturated fatty acids (11.38%) and sterols (39.92%) were more prevalent in the extract than saturated fatty acids (8.69%) and hydrocarbons (6.6%), with oleic and palmitic acids being the most significant.
  • The extract exhibited a concentration-dependent suppression of cell proliferation in cancer cell lines and showed potential as an inhibitor for certain enzymes, although safety toxicity assessments were missing, indicating a need for further research on its therapeutic effects.

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.

Serpentine soils are characterized by high concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) and limited essential nutrients with remarkable endemic plant diversity, yet the mechanisms enabling plant adaptation to thrive in such harsh environments remain largely unknown. Full-length 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, coupled with physiological and functional assays, was used to explore root-associated bacterial community composition and their metabolic and ecological functions. The results revealed that serpentine plant species exhibited significantly higher metal transfer factor values compared to non-serpentine plant species, particularly evident in Bidens pilosa, Miscanthus floridulus, and Leucaena leucocephala.

In this work, several imidazo[1,2-]pyridines were synthesized through the Groebke-Blackburn-Bienaymé three-component reaction (GBB-3CR), and their phytotoxicity was evaluated by the influence on the growth of wheat coleoptiles and three important agricultural seeds (, , and ) at test concentrations of 1000, 300, 100, 30, and 10 μM. A structure-activity relationship was established, showing the importance of halogen groups at the position of the attached aromatic ring and the presence of a cyclohexylamine group for greater activity. Post-modification of some GBB-3CR adducts was carried out, leading to imidazo[1,2-]pyridine-tetrazole hybrids, which were also evaluated in these bioassays.

Both rhizospheric soil microbes and shoot litter input can have profound effects on plant performance; however, their interactive effects on plants in Cd-contaminated soils remain poorly understood. We grew an invasive hyperaccumulator, , in sterilized and unsterilized rhizosphere soil without litter or with a low (0.2%, dry weight ratio) or a high amount (1%) of litter from in soil with low (5 mg kg) or high (10 mg kg) concentrations of Cd.
