Two new isoflavone glucosides, irisolone 4'-O-[O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside] (1) and iriskashmirianin 4'-O-[O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside] (2) were isolated from the underground parts of Iris florentina (Iridaceae). The structures of 1 and 2 were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data analyses and hydrolytic cleavage results. The isoflavone derivatives previously isolated from this plant were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products.

Introduction: This study aimed to identify suitable plants for remediating metal pollution in copper tailing soil and supporting ecological reclamation in Dongchuan, Yunnan, focusing on three major mining regions: Tangdan, Yinmin, and Lanniping.
Methods: The Nemerow comprehensive pollution index was employed to evaluate the metal contamination levels, and the enrichment and transfer capacities of the dominant plants for Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were analyzed to identify remediation candidates.
Results: The findings revealed severe pollution in the copper tailing soil, with Cu as the primary pollutant, and with a pollution rate of 77.

(PN) is a precious traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) whose medicinal parts are roots and rhizomes for the treatment of haemorrhage, blood-stasis, swelling and pain. It contains various compounds with saponins being the main active components for its therapeutic effects. A thorough analysis of the unique saponins present in aboveground and underground parts was performed by literature search and database screening.

Apple scab is a serious disease that has a huge economic impact. While some cultivars of apple are scab-resistant, most are not. Growing research has suggested that root-derived metabolites play a vital role in conferring resistance to aboveground pathogens through the long-distance signaling system between shoot and root.
