Salicylic acid is an NSAID with serious side effects on the GIS. The side effects of salicylic acid on the GIS are slightly reduced by acetylating salicylic acid. 12 new ester analogs of salicylic acid were synthesized with high yields in this study. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were characterized by H-NMR, C-NMR, and HRMS spectra. The inhibitory potential of the compounds was evaluated on COXs by in vitro and in silico studies. The COX2 inhibitory activity of the most potent inhibitor MEST1 (IC : 0.048 μM) was found to be much higher than the COX2 inhibitory activity of aspirin (IC : 2.60 μM). In docking studies, the strongest inhibitor among the compounds synthesized was predicted to be MEST1, with the lowest binding energy. Docking studies revealed that MEST1 extends from the hydrophobic channel to the top of the cyclooxygenase active site, forming various interactions with residues in the binding pocket.

Background: The jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) pathways are often thought to interact antagonistically in plants when mediating anti-herbivore resistance. However, we previously found that the two pathways in tea plant interact synergistically when treated with 1.5 mmol/L methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and 20 mmol/L SA at 12 h intervals (MeJA+SA treatment).

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and biochar (BC) are recognized as effective biological agents for enhancing stress tolerance and mitigating heavy metal toxicity in crops. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of the cadmium (Cd)-resistant PGPR strain Leclercia adecarboxylata HW04 (>4 mM Cd resistance) on soybean plants exposed to 300 μM Cd. HW04 was observed to possess the innate ability to synthesize indole-3-acetic acid and exopolysaccharides, which facilitated the absorption of Cd in the medium.

Maintaining a stable basal level of salicylic acid (SA) is crucial for plant growth, development, and stress response, though basal levels of SA vary significantly among plant species. However, the molecular mechanisms by which basal SA regulates plant growth and stress response remain to be elucidated. In this study, we performed a genetic screen to identify suppressors of the root growth defect in Osaim1, a rice mutant deficient in basal SA biosynthesis.
