Phytochemical investigation of the 95% ethanol extract from Pinus yunnanensis Franch resin induced the isolation of six previously unreported diterpenoids pinuyunnanacids K - N, P - Q, a nor-diterpenoid with a novel skeleton pinuyunnanacid O and six known analogues. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and computational methods, including nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, calculated NMR chemical shifts method and electronic circular dichroic (ECD) spectra. All the compounds were analyzed for anti-inflammatory activity through western blotting and cell viability, compounds 2, 10 and 12 significantly downregulated the protein expression of iNOS at the concentration of 40 μM. At the same time, compounds 10 and 12 decreased the expression of COX-2 in LPS-treated RAW264.7 (leukemia cells in mouse macrophage) cells at the concentration of 40 μM.

Background: P. yunnanensis, a distinctive economic tree species native to Yunnan Province in China, possesses axillary buds that serve as superior material for asexual propagation. However, under natural growth conditions, the differentiation of these axillary buds is notably scarce.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how different karst fissure thicknesses and rainfall patterns affect the growth of Pinus yunnanensis and Pinus elliottii seedlings in rocky desertification areas, using controlled experiments with varying conditions.
- - Results indicate that P. yunnanensis seedlings initially thrive with increasing karst thickness, but growth declines after a certain point, while P. elliottii seedlings generally show less growth with greater thickness.
- - Key growth factors include the biomass distribution of leaves, stems, and roots, with mineral accumulation patterns differing between the two species, suggesting implications for vegetation restoration and tree selection in these environments.

(Franch), a species endemic to southwestern China, provides significant ecological and economic benefits. The quality of afforestation can be enhanced by promoting high-quality sprout growth. This study analyzed the effects of six fertilization treatments following top pruning: T1 (N: 0 g/plant; P: 0 g/plant), T2 (N: 0 g/plant; P: 2 g/plant), T3 (N: 0 g/plant; P: 4 g/plant), T4 (N: 0.
