Sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids are important components in Tripterygium plants, possessing a wide range of pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammation immunosuppression, anti-tumor, anti-virus, and deinsectization, and are of great research value. They are composed of highly oxidized dihydro-β-furansquiterpene and pyridine dicarboxylic acid through ester bonds. According to the structural characteristics of pyridine dicarboxylic acid fragments, they can be divided into various structural subtypes. Up to now, more than 110 sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids have been isolated and identified from Tripterygium plants. This study reviewed the structural features and spectral(i.e., UV, IR, MS, and NMR) characteristics of sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids and summarized the structural elucidation process in detail to provide references for their further research and development.

This study explores the development and application of gold and 4-mercaptopyridine (MPY) perovskite-engineered robust nanofibers (GLAMPER-NFs) for the ultrasensitive detection of Abscisic acid (ABA) under Raman spectroscopy, a crucial plant hormone. The GLAMPER-NFs composite material, consisting of MAPbCl nanofibers integrated with MPY-coated gold nanostructures, demonstrates exceptional performance in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based sensing. The study elucidates the material structure and properties through comprehensive characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and Raman spectroscopy.

Seed germination is critical to agricultural productivity because low germination rates and/or asynchronous germination negatively affect stand establishment and subsequent yields. Exposure to high temperatures during seed imbibition can decrease both germination synchrony and rates through an ABA-mediated process called thermoinhibition. Methods to reduce thermoinhibition would be agriculturally valuable, particularly with increasing global mean temperatures.

Rice seed germination is a crucial phase in rice growth and development, but its molecular mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the function of rice pfkB family gene OsPUKI in seed germination. Compared with WT (ZH11), ospuki mutants showed delayed seed germination and shorter shoot length.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically marked by motor dysfunction accompanied by loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons and aggravated oxidative stress in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Atractylenolide-I (ATR-I) is a potent antioxidant sesquiterpene with neuroprotective properties. However, whether ATR-I plays a neuroprotective role against oxidative stress in PD remains unclear.
