Compounds Involved in the Invasive Characteristics of Lantana camara

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(2), P. 411 - 411

Published: Jan. 19, 2025

Lantana camara L. is native to tropical America and has naturalized in many other tropical, subtropical, temperate regions Asia, Africa, Oceania, North South America, Europe. infests diverse habitats with a wide range of climatic factors, its population increases aggressively as one the world’s 100 worst invasive alien species. Its infestation reduces species diversity abundance natural ecosystems agricultural production. The life history characteristics camara, such high reproductive ability adaptive various environmental conditions, may contribute infest increase population. Possible evidence compounds involved defense functions against enemies, herbivore mammals insects, parasitic nematodes, pathogenic fungi bacteria, allelochemicals allelopathy neighboring competitive plant species, have accumulated literature over three decades. Lantadenes A B, oleanonic acid, icterogenin are highly toxic mammals, β-humulene, isoledene, α-copaene thymol, hexadecanoic acid insecticidal activity. β-Caryophyllene cis-3-hexen-1-ol function herbivore-induced volatiles which sending warning signals undamaged tissues next plants same Farnesol farnesal interrupt insect juvenile hormone biosynthesis cause abnormal metamorphosis insects. Several triterpenes, lantanolic lantoic pomolic camarin, lantacin, camarinin, ursolic demonstrated nematocidal Lantadene A, β-caryophyllene, germacrene-D, β-curcumene, eicosapentaenoic loliolide possess antimicrobial Allelochemicals, caffeic ferulic salicylic α-resorcylic p-hydroxybenzoic vanillic unbelliferone, quercetin, including lantadenes B suppress germination growth These be camara’s expand an new habitats.

Modeling current and future distributions of invasive Asteraceae species in Northeast China

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: March 11, 2025

The ecological balance and agricultural productivity of northeastern China are seriously threatened by the long-term invasion spread Asteraceae plants, which have severely disrupted region's biodiversity ecosystem stability. Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., trifida Erigeron canadensis L. Class 1 malignant invasive species widely distributed across China. In this context, we selected 36 predictor variables utilized MaxEnt model to investigate influence current climate on their distribution patterns. Using future data, projected shifts in dynamics these three for two time periods (2041–2060 2061–2080) under change scenarios (SSP126, SSP245, SSP585). demonstrated a good predictive impact, with an average area curve (AUC) 0.918. Currently, primarily found southern part However, due climatic changes, centroids gradually shifting southwest, leading increase highly suitable zones species. Moreover, trend analysis revealed that potential changes southwestern likely experience increasing various models. This study provides initial insights into change, enabling formulation plans managing preventing risks impacts

Defensive Compounds Involved in the Invasiveness of Tithonia diversifolia

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(9), P. 1946 - 1946

Published: April 27, 2025

Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl.) A. Gray forms high-density impenetrable monospecific stands as an invasive plant species. Its life history traits, such high adaptability with genetic variation under different environmental conditions, and growth reproductive capacity, may contribute to its success in invading increasing population the introduced ranges. Evidence has accumulated literature for activity of compounds involved characteristics against natural enemies herbivorous insects mammals, pathogenic nematodes, fungi, viruses, allelochemicals neighboring competitive Tagitinin A, tagitinin C, 1β-methoxydiversifolin, phytol, phytol acetate, α-pinene, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane,4-methylene-1-(1-methylethyl), hispidulin, dihydro-p-coumaric acid, methyl linoleate are toxic insects, C 5-O-(E)-caffeoylquinic acid harmful mammals.

Pesticidal Activity of Citrus Fruits for the Development of Sustainable Fruit-Processing Waste Management and Agricultural Production

Plants, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(5), P. 754 - 754

Published: March 1, 2025

The annual global production of citrus fruits is over 150 million tons, and 40–50% the are processed into juices other products. processing generates a large amount waste causes environmental issues. In order to reduce impacts, several approaches for management were proposed. fruit contains functional compounds, but extraction these compounds requires adequate facilities. not suitable carry long distances due high percent water content its heavy weight, it store time occurrence fermentation. Some target use in proximity factories. application crop agricultural fields close faculties one possible options. evidence as herbicidal, nematocidal, insecticidal, anti-fungal materials has been accumulated literature three decades. Several involved functions have also identified fruits. However, there no review article focusing on pesticidal activity against weeds, herbivore insects, parasitic nematodes, pathogenic fungi. This first providing an overview such activities
