Salicylic acid (SA) and chitosan (CH) play an important role in plant defense by increasing secondary metabolite production in plants. In this study, their effects on volatile oil composition, phenolics and antioxidant activity of Achillea gypsicola were investigated. Treatments included control, 0.5-, 2- and 8-mM SA and control 2, 4 and 8 g L-1 CH. It was set up completely randomized with four replications, with two harvests between 2021 and 2022. Especially 4 g L-1 CH significantly increased 1,8-cineole and borneol production. The highest total phenolic (TPC) and total flavonoid (TFC) were obtained from the 8 g L-1 CH treatment. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed a 2-fold increase in chlorogenic acid, 1.01-fold increase in gallic acid and 0.56-fold increase in protocatechuic acid from 4 and 8 g L-1 CH treatments. Strong positive correlations were found between DPPH radical scavenging assay and Iron ions chelating assay (.803**), TFC (.556**) and TPC (.562**).

Cellular metabolism must adapt rapidly to environmental alterations and adjust nutrient uptake. Low glucose availability activates the AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK) pathway. We demonstrate that activation of AMPK or the downstream Unc-51-like autophagy-activating kinase (ULK1) inhibits receptor-mediated endocytosis.

Background: Ganoderic acids (GAs), recognized as significant triterpenoid bioactive components in Ganoderma lucidum, exhibit a broad spectrum of pharmacological activities, including immunomodulation, anti-cancer, and anti-aging properties. Despite their significant pharmacological potential, the low yield of GAs from natural sources has emerged as a critical bottleneck hindering their broader application in the pharmaceutical and health care industries. Previous studies have suggested that environmental perturbations can influence energy metabolism, potentially impacting the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds.

Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic phytohormone widely believed to regulate plant growth and stress response. Despite its significance, the genetic basis of SA-mediated resistance to biotic stressors in tea plants is little understood. Our study investigated the genetic diversity, population structure, and linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns of 299 tea accessions using 79 560 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) obtained from genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data.

Three structurally similar compounds with different substituent compounds, namely phenol (Ph), benzoic acid (BA) and salicylic acid (SA), were selected as target pollutants in this study, to explore these issues from a new perspective: the effect of substituents on contaminants. The results showed that both NO and NO inhibited the removal of the three pollutants in the UV/PDS system.
