Four new isolates including one new butanediamide glycoside (), one new flavonoid glycoside () and two new flavonone glycosides (, ) were identified from the leaves and stems of , among which possessed the firstly reported N,N'-(5-hydroxy-1,3-phenylene) butanediamide skeleton with an unique 6/9 ranged dual-ring structure. The structures were elucidated by the NMR data, ECD analysis and chemical acid hydrolysis. All the compounds (-) were tested for their cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines of HepG, A549 and HCT116 by the MTT method. Outstandingly, compound exhibited targeted inhibitory proliferation of HCT116 cell with IC value of 12.1 μM, whereas compounds and exhibited targeted inhibitory proliferation of HepG cell with IC values of 15.3 and 17.3 μM, as well as no obvious cytotoxicity of compounds - against A549.

Nanoselenium shows potential trends in improving plant health and food quality. In this study, different concentrations of nanoselenium were sprayed on the leaves of alfalfa. Compared to the control, nanoselenium (100 mg·L) significantly increased SeMet and SeMeCys contents in the roots, stems, and leaves of alfalfa.

Wetland macrophytes play a critical role in the performance of treatment wetlands (TWs), primarily through nutrient uptake. However, this retention is temporary, as nutrients are released back into the water upon the decomposition of plant litter. The removal of stored nutrients from TWs can be efficiently achieved by harvesting plants during the peak of the growing season, albeit with significant ecological disturbance.

Plants constitute a source of natural phytochemical components which are widely known for their potential biological activities. This work concerned a study of the antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium L.) parts (flowers, fruits, leaves and stems) using different solvent extracts (cyclohexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol and water).
