linear furanocoumarins are toxic compounds synthesized by plants. these toxic natural products are usually found in the fruits of umbelliferae. heracleum persicum desf. ex fischer is an iranian aromatic medicinal plant from umbelliferae which their fruits are used as flavoring agent in food products. because of the wide usage of the fruits of h. persicum it was decided to do a phytochemical stu...

We report here the complete genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain RTd22, an endophytic actinobacterium that was isolated from the roots of the Mexican sunflower Tithonia diversifolia The bacterium's 11.1-Mb linear chromosome is predicted to encode a large number of unknown natural products.

The syntheses and biosyntheses of the paraherquamide and brevianamide families of prenylated indole-derived alkaloids are reviewed. It has been proposed that the unique bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctan ring system that is common to this family of natural products, arises by a biological intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. Both synthetic approaches and total syntheses of several members o...

Some natural product leads of drugs (NPLDs) have been found to congregate in the chemical space. The extent, detailed patterns, and mechanisms of this congregation phenomenon have not been fully investigated and their usefulness for NPLD discovery needs to be more extensively tested. In this work, we generated and evaluated the distribution patterns of 442 NPLDs of 749 pre-2013 approved and 263...

Soils of the tropics and sub-tropics are typically acid and depleted of soluble sources of silicon (Si) due to weathering and leaching associated with high rainfall and temperatures. Together with intensive cropping, this leads to marginal or deficient plant Si levels in Si-accumulating crops such as rice and sugarcane. Although such deficiencies can be corrected with exogenous application of S...

One hundred andflfty years ago, carbohydrates from plant matter In all forms proulded the raw materlals for many lndustrlal products. By the 1970s. howeuer, the carbohydrate had been dlsplaced by hydrocarbons as the molecular bulldfng block of our Industrial economy. Now. technologlcal advances, enulronmental regulatlons. and green consumerism haue set the stage for the carbohydrate economy to ...

Carbonatite intrusive complexes are important hosts for Rare Earth Elements (REE) deposits and commonly affected by surficial weathering processes. Mount Weld REE deposit of Western Australia is one the world’s richest here we present whole-rock mineral geochemical data on compositions primary weathered carbonatites. The concentrations in magmatic carbonatites at vary two orders magnitude, sugg...

Various strategies have been developed to exploit plants as bioreactors for the production of pharmaceutical antibodies, to engineer antibody-mediated pathogen resistance or to alter the plant phenotype by immunomodulation. Recent research developments focus on the fine-tuning of expression systems and the detailed characterisation of recombinant products, including the implications of plant-sp...

We examined the roles of lithology, topography, vegetation and fire in generating local-scale (<1 km2) soil spatial variability in a seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) in southern India. For this, we mapped soil (available nutrients, Al, total C, pH, moisture and texture in the top 10 cm), rock outcrops, topography, all native woody plants ≥1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), and spatial v...
