“…The reaction, carried out at room temperature for 12 h, was stopped with MeOH, and the azeotrope formed by the addition of benzene was evaporated at 40 • C in a nitrogen (N 2 ) stream. A residue of 1,1 ′ ,4-O,O ′ ,O ′′ -triacetylnigrosphaeritriol (16) was obtained (4.2 mg, R f 0.65 on TLC on silica gel eluted with CHCl 3 :i-PrOH (95:5, v/v)).…”

“…Herbicidal products are a large sector of the pesticide market because weeds create serious constraints in agricultural production. Invasive weed genera, including Cenchrus, Cuscuta, Hydrilla, Lantana, Parthenium, and Salvinia are a potential threat to biodiversity and can also impact crops [14][15][16][17]. In particular, controlling the spread of Cenchrus ciliaris, a warm-season grass commonly known as buffelgrass, has become one of the major challenges.…”

In the search for new alternative biocontrol strategies, phytopathogenic fungi could represent a new frontier for weed management. In this respect, as part of our ongoing work aiming at using fungal pathogens as an alternative to common herbicides, the foliar pathogen Nigrospora sphaerica has been evaluated to control buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris). In particular, in this work, the isolation and structural elucidation of two new biosynthetically related metabolites, named nigrosphaeritriol (3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpentane-1,4-diol) and nigrosphaerilactol (3-(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyltetrahydrofuran-2-ol), from the phytotoxic culture filtrate extract were described, along with the identification of several known metabolites. Moreover, the absolute stereochemistry of (3R,4S,5S)-nigrosphaerilactone, previously reported as (3S,4R,5R)-4-hydroxymethyl-3,5-dimethyldihydro-2-furanone, was determined for the first time by X-ray diffraction analysis. Considering their structural relationship, the determination of the absolute stereochemistry of nigrosphaerilactone allowed us to hypothesize the absolute stereochemistry of nigrosphaeritriol and nigrosphaerilactol.

River ecosystem biodiversity and biogeochemical processes are shaped largely by riverside vegetation and soil. Moreover, river ecosystems provide ecological services influenced by the surrounding vegetation and soil interactions. However, the mechanisms by which artificially remediated plants (ARPs) and riparian soil interact to provide these benefits are still unclear among various ARPs. This study fills this gap and examines the impact of ARPs along the riparian zones of Three Gorges Dam (TGD) in Chongqing City, China. We sampled four varieties of ARPs from the Ruxi River Basin in the TGD. These varieties included Cynodon dactylon, Hemarthria altissima, Taxodium disticum, and Salix mastudana. Our results indicated substantial changes in soil physicochemical parameters. Comparably, T. distigum contains significantly higher soil chemical contents. Interestingly, principal component analysis explained almost 100% of the variance for all plant species in this study. Moreover, different vegetation types and soil chemical properties were positively correlated using Pearson correlation analysis (p < 0.05). Furthermore, all plant species exhibited strong negative correlations with physical characteristics (up to r = −1.00). Specifically, these mechanisms explain the interactions between ARPs and soil from riparian areas in the TGD. Hence, this study may facilitate ecological restoration and land management in degraded riparian areas.
