Simultaneous Screening and Analysis of Anti-inflammatory and Antiproliferative Compounds from Euphorbia maculata Combining Bio-affinity Ultrafiltration with Multiple Drug Targets

Tojofaniry Fabien Rakotondrabe et al.

Summary: In this study, a bio-affinity ultrafiltration strategy was used to identify ligand candidates against COX-2, Topo I, and Topo II in E. maculata ethyl acetate fraction. The fraction showed interesting COX-2 inhibition activity and good growth inhibitions for three malignant cell lines. Chemical fingerprinting revealed the presence of multiple compounds with affinity to the targeted enzymes. Dihydromyricetin and quercetin-3-O-arabinoside were identified as multipotent compounds with affinity to all three enzymes. The study provides insights into the interrelationship between E. maculata's associated activities and its phytochemical components, suggesting further research and utilization prospects for E. maculata.

Effects of Road Components and Roadside Vegetation on Temperature Reduction in Seoul Considering Air, Wet-Bulb Globe, and Surface Temperatures

Hyejin Cho

Summary: Urbanization leads to higher temperatures in cities, exacerbated by increased road space. This study found that road characteristics have a significant impact on roadside temperatures, with vegetation and trees playing a key role in reducing temperature. Planting more trees and implementing greener medians, as well as selecting taller trees and denser vegetation along roads, can effectively lower roadside temperatures and improve urban climates.

Mimicking the natural thermal environments experienced by seeds to break physiological dormancy to enhance seed testing and seedling production

Carol C. Baskin et al.

Summary: Physiological dormancy is the most common type of seed dormancy on earth, and it plays an important role in the adaptation of species to their habitats. By studying the environmental conditions during the seed stage, hypotheses about dormancy-breaking and germination requirements can be formulated and tested. There are three levels of physiological dormancy, each requiring different conditions for breaking dormancy and promoting germination.

Regulation of Seed Dormancy and Germination Mechanisms in a Changing Environment

Ewelina A. Klupczynska et al.

Summary: Environmental conditions play a crucial role in plant reproduction, as changes in climate can disrupt seed germination and dormancy, affecting plant diversity and suitable habitats. The adaptive mechanism of seed dormancy can help buffer against the negative impacts of environmental changes, highlighting the need to understand how temperature and humidity influence seed germination patterns. Integrating research techniques from different biology disciplines, such as transcriptomics and proteomics, can aid in understanding the processes controlling seed germination.

The great diversity in kinds of seed dormancy: a revision of the Nikolaeva-Baskin classification system for primary seed dormancy

Jerry M. Baskin et al.

Summary: This review provides a revised and expanded word-formula system of whole-seed primary dormancy classification, highlighting the great diversity and complexity of primary seed dormancy at the whole-seed level. The changes include an increase in the number of named tiers in the classification hierarchy, provision of formulae for known kinds of dormancy, and the designation of new subclasses in the morphological dormancy class.

Seed dormancy and weed emergence: from simulating environmental change to understanding trait plasticity, adaptive evolution, and population fitness

Kazumi Nakabayashi et al.

Summary: Predicting weed emergence in crop production systems is a global challenge that requires understanding mechanisms of weed ecology and trait evolution in response to climate change and altered agricultural practices. Seed dormancy, which controls germination by defining environmental conditions, plays a key role in weed soil seed bank persistence and seedling emergence timing. Integrating seed dormancy dynamics in variable field environments across generations is essential for more sustainable weed management strategies.
