Abstract
The comparative metabolic profiling and their biological properties of eight extracts obtained from diverse parts (leaves, flowers, roots) of the medicinal plant Flourensia fiebrigii S.F. Blake, a chemotype growing in highland areas (2750 m a.s.l.) of northwest Argentina, were investigated. The extracts were analysed by GC-MS and UHPLC-MS/MS. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of encecalin (relative content: 24.86 %) in ethereal flower extract (EF) and this benzopyran (5.93 %) together sitosterol (11.35 %) in the bioactive ethereal leaf exudate (ELE). By UHPLC-MS/MS the main compounds identified in both samples were: limocitrin, (22.31 %), (2Z)-4,6-dihydroxy-2-[(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)methylidene]-1-benzofuran-3-one (21.31 %), isobavachin (14.47 %), naringenin (13.50 %), and sternbin, (12.49 %). Phytocomplexes derived from aerial parts exhibited significant activity against biofilm production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, reaching inhibitions of 74.7-99.9 % with ELE (50 μg/mL). Notably, the extracts did not affect nutraceutical and environmental bacteria, suggesting a selective activity. ELE also showed the highest reactive species scavenging ability. This study provides valuable insights into the potential applications of this chemotype.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis method will allow a large number of tetramic acid analogues to be synthesized for property and potency optimization. In this study, a facile and efficient method was described for the synthesis of 3-acyltetramic acids. The synthesis was accomplished mainly via (1) mild intramolecular cyclization and (2) the formation of β-ketoamides between nucleophiles and acyl Meldrum's acids. 3-Acyltetramic acid exhibited phytotoxicity against Echinochloa crusgalli and Portulaca oleracea. At a dosage of 750 g ha-1, 6k and 6a showed high herbicidal activity against E. crusgalli, Digitaria sanguinalis and P. oleracea, Amaranthus retroflexus, respectively. 6k inhibited the synthesis of endogenous abscisic acid, thus seedling germination and plant growth. The incorporation of various acyl Meldrum's acids and amino acid esters was applicable to the parallel synthesis of 3-acyltetramic acids. The mode of action and herbicidal activity indicate that 3-tetramic acid had good herbicidal performance and was a promising herbicide candidate. This study will provide a reference for novel herbicide development.

Nishidono Y, Tanaka K. Comprehensive characterization of polyacetylenes and diterpenes from the underground parts of Solidago altissima L. and their contribution to the overall allelopathic activity. PHYTOCHEMISTRY 2022; 193:112986.

Abstract
Solidago altissima L. (Asteraceae), a perennial plant native to North America, is considered one of the most invasive weeds in Asia and Europe. The successful invasion of S. altissima is possibly due to its allelopathic effect along with high seed productivity and strong vegetative propagation through rhizomes. Herein, to understand the invasion of S. altissima via the allelopathic effect, we isolated and characterized known and undescribed compounds from the underground parts of S. altissima and evaluated their contribution to the overall allelopathic activity of the plant. NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS analyses clarified the chemical structure of ten specialized metabolites including three undescribed compounds, i.e., (4Z, 8Z)-10-tigloyloxy matricaria lactone, (4Z, 8Z)-10-angeloyloxy matricaria lactone, and (2Z, 8Z)-10-methacryloyloxy matricaria ester. The evaluation of the content and allelopathic ability of each compound showed that cis-dehydromatricaria ester contributes to the allelopathic activities of the S. altissima extract.

Abstract
Abstract Asteraceae family is as an interesting target for researching natural alternatives for crop protection. Many species from this family grow as weeds, and some of them can influence the development of other species by the allelopathy phenomenon. This paper aimed to review the literature for the main genera and species of the Asteraceae family with allelopathic or phytotoxic potential, as well as the classes of secondary metabolites present in this family and responsible for such activity. Artemisia, Ambrosia, Bellis, Bidens, Helianthus and Tagetes were identified as the main genera with phytotoxic or allelopathic activity. Among the secondary metabolites from this family, terpenes, polyacetylenes, saponins, sesquiterpene lactones, phenolic acids and flavonoids were described as responsible for inhibiting the development of other species. In addition, the phytotoxic potential of Acmella oleracea and Sphagneticola trilobata against the weeds Calopogonium mucunoides. and Ipomoea purpurea was described for the first time. At 0.2 mg/mL, crude extract and fractions of A. oleracea inhibited above 60% of C. mucunoides root growth. Hydroalcoholic extract and fractions of S. trilobata, except hexane, significantly affected I. purpurea root growth, ranging from 38 ± 14% to 59 ± 8% of inhibitory effect at different concentrations (0.19 mg/mL to 1.13 mg/mL).

Abstract
In Nature, the oldest method of communication between living systems is the chemical language. Plants, due to their lack of mobility, have developed the most sophisticated way of chemical communication. Despite that many examples involve this chemical communication process-allelopathy, there is still a lack of information about specific allelochemicals released into the environment, their purpose, as well as in-depth studies on the chemistry underground. These findings are critical to gain a better understanding of the role of these compounds and open up a wide range of possibilities and applications, especially in agriculture and phytomedicine. The most relevant aspects regarding the chemical language of plants, namely kind of allelochemicals, have been investigated, as well as their releasing mechanisms and their purpose will be described in this chapter.

Abstract
(E)-β-caryophyllene (BCP) is a natural sesquiterpene hydrocarbon present in hundreds of plant species. BCP possesses several important pharmacological activities, ranging from pain treatment to neurological and metabolic disorders. These are mainly due to its ability to interact with the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) and the complete lack of interaction with the brain CB1. A systematic analysis of plant species with essential oils containing a BCP percentage > 10% provided almost 300 entries with species belonging to 51 families. The essential oils were found to be extracted from 13 plant parts and samples originated from 56 countries worldwide. Statistical analyses included the evaluation of variability in BCP% and yield% as well as the statistical linkage between families, plant parts and countries of origin by cluster analysis. Identified species were also grouped according to their presence in the Belfrit list. The survey evidences the importance of essential oil yield evaluation in support of the chemical analysis. The results provide a comprehensive picture of the species with the highest BCP and yield percentages.

Abstract
The distribution and ultrastructure of capitate glandular trichomes (GTs) in Flourensia species (Asteraceae) have been recently elucidated, but their metabolic activity and potential biological function remain unexplored. Selective nonvolatile metabolites from isolated GTs were strikingly similar to those found on leaf surfaces. The phytotoxic allelochemical sesquiterpene (-)-hamanasic acid A ((-)-HAA) was the major constituent (ca. 40%) in GTs. Although GTs are quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs)-accumulating species, glycine betaine was not found in GTs; it was only present in the leaf mesophyll. Two (-)-HAA accompanying surface secreted products: compounds 4-hydroxyacetophenone (piceol; 1) and 2-hydroxy-5-methoxyacetophenone (2), which were isolated and fully characterized (GC/MS, NMR), were present in the volatiles found in GTs. The essential oils of fresh leaves revealed ca. 33% monoterpenes, 26% hydrocarbon- and 30% oxygenated sesquiterpenes, most of them related to cadinene and bisabolene derivatives. Present results suggest a main role of GTs in determining the volatile and nonvolatile composition of F. campestris leaves. Based on the known activities of the compounds identified, it can be suggested that GTs in F. campestris would play key ecological functions in plant-pathogen and plant-plant interactions. In addition, the strikingly high contribution of compounds derived from cadinene and bisabolene pathways, highlights the potential of this species as a source of high-valued bioproducts.

Abstract
A novel endophytic actinobacterial strain, designated EGI 6500195T, was isolated from fruits of Capparis spinosa. Growth occurred at 10-45 °C (optimum 30 °C), at pH 6-8 (optimum pH 7) and in the presence of 0-1 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain EGI 6500195T shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (97.74 %) with Streptomyces vitaminophilus DSM 41686T and less than 97 % sequence similarity with other members of the genus Streptomyces. The diagnostic amino acid in the peptidoglycan was ll-diaminopimelic acid. Whole-cell hydrolysates contained glucose, ribose, fructose and mannose. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The polar lipid profile of strain EGI 6500195T included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, three unknown phospholipids, an unknown aminophospholipid and an unknown aminolipid. The cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 1ω9c, summed feature 4 (iso-C17 : 1 I and/or anteiso-C17 : 1 B) and iso-C17 : 1ω9c. The DNA G+C content of strain EGI 6500195T was 74.1 mol%. The level of DNA-DNA relatedness between strain EGI 6500195T and Streptomyces. vitaminophilus DSM 41686T was 14.1±3.5 %. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain EGI 6500195T represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces capparidis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EGI 6500195T (=DSM 42145T=JCM 30089T).

Abstract
Allelopathy is the chemical mediated communication among plants. While on one hand there is growing interest in the field, on the other hand it is still debated as doubts exist at different levels. A number of compounds have been reported for their ability to influence plant growth, but the existence of this phenomenon in the field has rarely been demonstrated. Furthermore, only few studies have reported the uptake and the effects at molecular level of the allelochemicals. Allelopathy has been reported on some plants of Mediterranean vegetation and could contribute to structuring this ecosystem. Sixteen plants of Mediterranean vegetation have been selected and studied by an NMR-based metabolomics approach. The extracts of these donor plants have been characterized in terms of chemical composition and the effects on a selected receiving plant, Aegilops geniculata, have been studied both at the morphological and at the metabolic level. Most of the plant extracts employed in this study were found to have an activity, which could be correlated with the presence of flavonoids and hydroxycinnamate derivatives. These plant extracts affected the receiving plant in different ways, with different rates of growth inhibition at morphological level. The results of metabolomic analysis of treated plants suggested the induction of oxidative stress in all the receiving plants treated with active donor plant extracts, although differences were observed among the responses. Finally, the uptake and transport into receiving plant leaves of different metabolites present in the extracts added to the culture medium were observed.

Abstract
In the proceeding of screening new bioactive natural products, the ethyl acetate extract of the fermentation broth of Fusarium proliferatum ZS07, a fungus residing in the gut of long-horned grasshoppers (Tettigonia chinensis), was found possessing selective phytotoxic activity against the radicle growth of Amaranthus retroflexus L. Bioactivity-guided fractionation lead to the isolation of six fungal metabolites 1-6, including a new polyketide derivate O-methylated SMA93 (2) and five known compounds SMA93 (1), rhodolamprometrin (3), radicinin (4), dehydroallogibberic acid (5), and 3-methyl-6,8-dihydroxyisocoumarin (6). Their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of the corresponding data to those reported in the literature previously. Phytotoxic effects of the four isolated compounds 1-4 on the radicle growth of A. retroflexus L. seeds were investigated under laboratory conditions, and compounds 2 and 4 showed good phytotoxic activity in the concentration of 100 μg/mL, with the inhibition rates of 83.0 and 65.2%, respectively. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of compounds 1-5 were evaluated against selected bacteria. Compounds 1-3 were found to possess potent antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 3.13-12.50 μg/mL, while Escherichia coli (ATCC 8739) and Salmonella typhimurium [CMCC(B) 50115] were not susceptible. These results suggest that the new polyketide derivate 2 and known compounds 1, 3, and 4 have potential to be used as biocontrol agents in agriculture.

Abstract
The presence of the phytotoxic sesquiterpene (-)-hamanasic acid A {(-)HAA; 7-carboxy-8-hydroxy-1(2), 12(13)-dien-bisabolene} isolated from Flourensia campestris ( FC), was investigated in the South American species of the genus, together with the evaluation of the phytotoxic activity of their leaf aqueous extracts. (-)HAA was identified and isolated from F. fiebrigii ( FF) and F. oolepis ( FO), being chemically (GC-MS, NMR, [α]D) and biologically (bioassayed on lettuce) indistinguishable from that of FC, while no (-)HAA was found in F. hirta ( FH), F. riparia ( FR) and F. niederleinii ( FN). Its leaf content in FF was similar to that found in FC (ca. 15 mg g−1 WT) and significantly higher than in FO (0.8 mg g−1 WT). The screening for the presence of (-)HAA in other species of Flourensia communities showed that its natural occurrence is restricted only to Flourensia species. No (-)HAA could be detected in any of the 37 -most representative- species of these communities (26 natives, 11 exotics), despite many of them belong to the same family and tribe as Flourensia spp. Leaf aqueous extracts of all Flourensia species exhibited strong inhibitory effects on lettuce germination and on root and shoot growth, regardless of the presence and content of (-)HAA. These results strongly suggest the existence of other powerful phytotoxic compounds in those Flourensia spp lacking (-)HAA. Our results clearly show that (-)HAA only pertains to some species of the genus Flourensia. Relative to previous exomorphologic groupings of the genus, our chemotaxonomic data would give support to the close link described between FC and FF, but not with FR. In addition, the fact that (-)HAA was also found in FO, which belongs to a second different line, also points out that species position in this lineage would deserve to be revisited. The restricted production of (-)HAA by Flourensia in their communities suggests its special link with the genus, and sustains its putative allelochemical role.
