Published: Jan. 4, 2024

ABSTRACT Weed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed environments where anthropogenic activities often result higher pollution. Understanding existing between native weed and invasive species is crucial for effective management normal ecosystem functioning. Recognising potential resistance to invasion can help identify suitable plants restoration operations. This review aims investigate adaptations exhibited by non‐native weeds that may affect invasions within environments. Factors such as ecological characteristics, altered soil conditions, potentially confer a competitive advantage relative or are analysed. Moreover, roles biotic interactions competition, mutualistic relationships, allelopathy shaping described. Emphasis given consideration key factor provides insights conservation efforts Additionally, this underscores need further research unravel underlying mechanisms devise targeted strategies. These strategies aim promote mitigate negative effects By delving deeper into these insights, we gain an understanding ecosystems develop valuable species, restore long‐term sustainability.

The Role of Polyphenols in Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Their Antioxidant Properties to Scavenge Reactive Oxygen Species and Free Radicals

Antioxidants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1), P. 74 - 74

Published: Jan. 10, 2025

Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to cope with diverse abiotic stresses, the phenylpropanoid pathway playing a central role in stress adaptation. This produces an array of secondary metabolites, particularly polyphenols, which serve multiple functions plant growth, development, regulating cellular processes, and responses. Recent advances understanding molecular underlying metabolism revealed regulatory networks involving MYB transcription factors as master regulators their interactions signaling pathways. review summarizes our current polyphenol-mediated adaptations plants, emphasizing regulation function key compounds. We discussed how various including heat chilling stress, drought, salinity, light UV radiation, nanoparticles chemical heavy metal toxicity, modulate trigger accumulation specific polyphenolic The antioxidant properties these phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, lignin, roles reactive oxygen species scavenging, neutralizing free radicals, membrane stabilization, osmotic adjustment are discussed. Understanding metabolic responses is crucial for developing stress-resilient crops improving agricultural productivity under increasingly challenging environmental conditions. provides comprehensive insights into integrating adaptation mechanisms, highlighting potential targets enhancing crop tolerance through adjustment.

The global healthcare market in the post-pandemic era emphasizes a constant pursuit of therapeutic, adaptogenic, and immune booster drugs. Medicinal plants are only natural resource to meet this by supplying an array bioactive secondary metabolites economic, greener sustainable manner. Driven thrust demand for immunity imparting nutraceutical life-saving plant-derived drugs, acreage commercial cultivation medicinal has dramatically increased recent years. Limited resources land water, low productivity, poor soil fertility coupled with climate change, biotic (bacteria, fungi, insects, viruses, nematodes) abiotic (temperature, drought, salinity, waterlogging, metal toxicity) stress necessitate plant productivity enhancement through strategies. Plants evolved intricate physiological (membrane integrity, organelle structural changes, osmotic adjustments, cell tissue survival, reclamation, root-shoot ratio, antibiosis, hypersensitivity, etc.), biochemical (phytohormones synthesis, proline, protein levels, antioxidant enzymes accumulation, ion exclusion, generation heat-shock proteins, synthesis allelochemicals. cellular (sensing signals, signaling pathways, modulating expression stress-responsive genes etc.) mechanisms combat stresses. Endophytes, colonizing different tissues, synthesize novel compounds that can harness mitigate environmental cues, thus making agroecosystems self-sufficient toward green approaches. host set endophytes another interact highly complex manner involving adaptive mechanisms, including appropriate responses triggered stimuli received from sensors situated on cytoplasm transmitting signals transcriptional machinery nucleus withstand stressful environment effectively. Signaling pathways serve as crucial nexus sensing establishing plants’ proper molecular responses. However, underlying critical endophytic microbes meager.

Ethosomes for Curcumin and Piperine Cutaneous Delivery to Prevent Environmental-Stressor-Induced Skin Damage

Antioxidants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 91 - 91

Published: Jan. 11, 2024

Diesel particulate matter is one of the most dangerous environmental stressors affecting human health. Many plant-derived compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been proposed to protect skin from pollution damage. Curcumin (CUR) has a plethora pharmacological activities, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant. However, it low bioavailability due its difficult absorption rapid metabolism elimination. CUR encapsulation in nanotechnological systems combination biopotentiators such as piperine (PIP) can improve pharmacokinetics, stability activity. In this study, ethosomes (ETs) were investigated for PIP delivery damage induced by diesel matter. ETs produced different strategies characterized their size distribution photon correlation spectroscopy, morphology transmission electron microscopy, drug efficiency high-performance liquid chromatography. Franz cells enabled us evaluate vitro diffusion ETs. The results highlighted that promote permeation curcumin. studies carried out on activity demonstrated an increase power using separately loaded ETs, suggesting possible application prevention exogenous stressors. Ex vivo explants shown suitability drug-loaded prevent structural engine exhaust exposure.
