Abstract
In the present study, foodomics approach was employed to investigate changes in the metabolism from the volatile terpenoids profile of mint(Mentha × gracillis Sole)from conventional, organic and permaculture (a type of agroecological agriculture system) farms using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) associated to gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and chemometric tools. The discrimination among the three types of mint was successfully achieved and demonstrated evidence of ecological interaction impact in the food metabolism. The agroecological mint presented as differential compounds: α-terpineol, bornyl formate, cis-carvyl propionate, cis-carveol, camphor, dihydrocarvyl acetate, dihydrocarveol, karahanaenone, nonanal, 3-octyl acetate, and trans-3-hexenyl-2 methylbutyrate. While organic and conventional mint presented as differential compounds: α-cedrene, β -pinene, γ-muurolene, δ-cadinene, germacrene, terpinolene, and elemol. The majority of differential metabolites from agroecological mint are oxygenated monoterpenes, which have more intense flavor and biological activities than hydrocarbons monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes found in organic and conventional mint. Furthermore, the discrimination between organic and conventional mint was effectively performed, which demonstrated different terpenoid profiles though without implying benefits for one or another agriculture system.

Abstract
Plants produce a high diversity of metabolites that can act as regulators of cholinergic dysfunction. Among plants, the potential of species of the genus Tabernaemontana to treat neurological disorders has been linked to iboga-type alkaloids that are biosynthesized by those species. In this context, precursor-directed biosynthesis approaches were carried out using T. catharinensis plantlets to achieve new-to-nature molecules as promising agents against Alzheimer's disease. Aerial parts of T. catharinensis, cultured in vitro, produced 7 unnatural alkaloids (5-fluoro-ibogamine, 5-fluoro-voachalotine, 5-fluoro-12-methoxy-Nb-methyl-voachalotine, 5-fluoro-isovoacangine, 5-fluoro-catharanthine, 5-fluoro-19-(S)-hydroxy-ibogamine, and 5-fluoro-coronaridine), while root extracts showed the presence of the same unnatural iboga-type alkaloids and 2 additional ones: 5-fluoro-voafinine and 5-fluoro-affinisine. Moreover, molecular docking approaches were carried out to evaluate the potential inhibition activity of T. catharinensis' natural and unnatural alkaloids against AChE and BChE enzymes. Fluorinated iboga alkaloids (5-fluoro-catharanthine, 5-fluoro-voachalotine, 5-fluoro-affinisine, 5-fluoro-isovoacangine, 5-fluoro-corinaridine) were more active than natural ones and controls against AchE, while 5-fluoro-19-(S)-hydroxy-ibogamine, 5-fluoro-catharanthine, 5-fluoro-isovoacangine, and 5-fluoro-corinaridine showed better activity than natural ones and controls against BChE. Our findings showed that precursor-directed biosynthesis strategies generated "new-to-nature" alkaloids that are promising Alzheimer's disease drug candidates. Furthermore, the isotopic experiments also allowed us to elucidate the initial steps of the biosynthetic pathway for iboga-type alkaloids, which are derived from the MEP and shikimate pathways.

Abstract
Abstract: The Midwest region of Brazil possesses large areas dominated by the Cerrado that is poorly known concerning insect gall and their interactions. In this study, we inventory the gall morphology, host plants, and the gall makers from Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso State, in areas of natural vegetation from Cerrado, for the first time. Samplings occurred in two expeditions, July 2012 and January 2013. We characterized 295 morphotypes of insect galls in 140 host plant species, with 89 gall makers; the richest family in host plants was Fabaceae (16.7%), and the species was Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) Marchand (Burseraceae, 3.7%). Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães is the richest Brazilian cerrado area in gall morphotypes (295) and the second in average morphotypes/host plant species (2.1). Additionally, six genera and 38 species are new records as host plants; two of them, Bernardia similis Pax and K.Hoffm and Ormosia macrophylla Benth., are new occurrences for Mato Grosso State, and other two, Vochysia petraea Warm. and Talisia subalbens (Mart.) Radlk. are listed in the Red List of Threatened Species IUCN. This inventory data represents a testimony of insect-plant interactions in a Brazilian Cerrado area that was consumed by an unprecedented fire in the dry season of 2020.

Abstract
Abstract: The Pantanal Biome occupies 20% of the Brazilian territory extending its distribution over two Brazilian States, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. This Biome is one of Brazil's poorly known regions concerning insect gall and their interactions with host plants. In this study, we characterized for the first time the gall morphology, identified host plants and the gall makers from an area of Brazilian wetlands from Mato Grosso State, known as Pantanal Matogrossense. We sampled Pantanal Biome areas in Poconé municipality, along the Transpantaneira Road, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, in two expeditions, July 2012 and January 2013, with a total effort of 2 hours. We characterized 91 morphotypes of insect galls in 54 host plant species; 28 gall makers in 24 host plant species; the richest host plant families are Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, and Sapindaceae. Psidium guineense Sw. is the super host species. This area in Pantanal Matogrossense is the second in the richness of gall morphotypes (N=91) and average morphotypes/plant species (1.7), comparing phytophysiognomies. Additionally, 15 plant species are new record as host in galler-host plant interaction in the world. This number represents 30% of the total of host plant species sampled in Poconé. This inventory is new knowledge to the Pantanal Matogrossense and representing a unique testimony of insect-plant interactions consumed by the unprecedented fire that occurred in Pantanal Biome in the dry season of 2020.

Abstract
Resumo Plantas trepadeiras têm papel ativo na dinâmica das comunidades florestais e são importantes como fonte de alimento à fauna. Neste estudo caracterizamos esta sinúsia em um remanescente de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual (FES) e produzimos uma chave de identificação e pranchas fotográficas para auxiliar na identificação destas plantas. Adicionalmente, avaliamos a similaridade florística da área com estudos em outras áreas. O levantamento florístico foi realizado durante um ano, com coletas mensais, por meio de caminhadas nas bordas e no interior do remanescente. Amostramos 65 espécies de 19 famílias, seis destas representando 67,7% do total de espécies amostradas: Fabaceae (12), Bignoniaceae (oito), Convolvulaceae (sete), Sapindaceae (seis), Asteraceae (seis) e Apocynaceae (cinco). Trepadeiras herbáceas foram predominantes, na borda do remanescente ou nas áreas abertas. Os mecanismos de escaladas mais comuns foram o volúvel e o preênsil (com gavinhas). A similaridade em relação à outras áreas de FES foi baixa, provavelmente pelo menor tamanho desta área e por esta se encontrar em estágio médio de regeneração. Ainda assim, 64% das espécies são novos registros para o município de Sorocaba, muitas delas com poucas coletas no estado de São Paulo e duas delas classificadas como ameaçadas na lista de espécies ameaçadas do estado.

Abstract
Indicators are applied faster and at lower costs than conventional surveys, providing quick and efficient responses that can facilitate protected areas management. Our aim was to select indicators from vegetation to monitor protected areas. For this purpose, we analyzed understory and quantified lianas and tree ferns in protected and non-protected areas, in order to find indicator species. Our study areas are located in Vale do Ribeira, southeastern São Paulo state, Brazil. One of the areas is under two protection categories (IUCN's categories II and V), and the other is a privately owned farm. Lianas with large diameters (> 13 cm) and tree ferns with great heights (> 19 m) were considered indicators of undisturbed areas (protected areas) because their growth is directly related to forest successional stage. Indicator species within the protected area were shade tolerant species, such as Bathysa australis (A.St.-Hil.) K.Schum., whereas outside the protected area were pioneer species, such as Pera glabrata (Schott) Poepp. ex Baill. e Nectandra oppositifolia Ness. All of the suggested indicators can be used in management actions, especially in protected areas, to guarantee forest maintenance and ensure fulfillment of the conservation objectives of these areas.

Abstract
The Atlantic rain forest is in a very fragmented condition due to the high deforestation in recent decades, thus even remnants of secondary vegetation may be considered important for maintaining the ecological and microclimatic functions on a regional scale. This represents the first plant composition study conducted in the area, located in Sorocaba (São Paulo, Brazil), a region relatively unknown in terms of vegetation. Our aims were to survey the vegetation, verify the vegetation formation in which the sampled species occur and identify endangered species. Periodic samples of woody plants were conducted between September 2007 and December 2009. We found 166 species, belonging to 47 families and 102 genera; ten of these species are under threat of extinction. Our data substantially increase our knowledge of the diversity of the regional flora and will play a crucial role in developing conservation policy.
