AB  - β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) is a good host for the encapsulation of fennel and basil essential oils
(FEO and BEO, respectively) and the formation of inclusion complexes (ICs) using the co-precipitation
method. According to the results of the GC/MS analysis conducted in this study, monoterpenes and
monoterpenoids were the dominant chemical groups in total FEO, while in BEO, these two groups
occurred along with sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids. The presence of dominant compounds
from both EOs was validated using the FT-IR spectra of ICs, which indicated successful complexation.
Analyses conducted using SPME/GC-MS showed the continuous emission of volatiles over 24 h from
both ICs. Under SEM, particles of both ICs appeared to have a rectangular or rhomboid morphology
and few aggregates. The insecticidal properties of EOs and ICs with β-CD were tested on the
Colorado potato beetle (CPB) as a model pest. The inclusion complex of β-CD with FEO altered the
developmental dynamic and body mass of the CPB. The initial increase in the proteolytic activity of
CPB larvae fed with potato plants sprayed with ICs was not maintained for long, and the proteolytic
efficacy of treated larvae remained in line with that of the control larvae. Future investigations will
focus on manipulating the volume of EOs used and the treatment duration for optimal efficacy and
potential application.

AB  - Nepeta L. holds a prominent position as the largest genus in the Lamiaceae family and serves as the exclusive representative of the iridoid-lacking Nepetoidae subfamily which produces iridoids. The genus showcases a rich chemodiversity, encompassing taxa both with and without iridoids. Our study investigates the genetic basis of iridoid diversity using omics-guided and functional genomics approaches. We identified functional iridoid synthases (ISY) in iridoid-producing N. rtanjensis (NrIS2) and N. sibirica L. (NsIS), as well as in iridoid-lacking N. nervosa L. (NnIS). Remarkably, N. nervosa carries a dormant iridoid biosynthetic platform, suggesting a loss of iridoid production during its evolutionary history. Moreover, we explore regulatory mechanisms through comparative iridoid profiling and co-expression analysis of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors (TFs) under various stress conditions (e.g., dehydration, UV − B radiation, pathogens) or elicitors (MeJA). These mechanisms influence plant productivity and the presence/absence of iridoids or their specific groups (iridoid aglycones and iridoid glycosides). Our research offers valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms driving iridoid biosynthesis and the chemical evolution of iridoids within Nepeta. This study enhances our understanding of the intricate relationship between genetics and the environment, providing comprehensive insights into iridoid metabolism, chemical evolution, and ecology.

AB  - Within a large iridoids-lacking clade of Nepetoidae (Lamiaceae), the genus Nepeta stands out as an exclusive producer of these atypical monoterpenes with a unique stereochemistry. The genus Nepeta exhibits a high diversity of iridoids, with nepetalactones (NLs) predominating; however, a few Nepeta species lack these compounds. Comparative metabolomics, transcriptomics, gene co-expression, and phylogenetic analysis were conducted on the trans,cis-NL-rich N. rtanjensis Diklić & Milojević, the cis,trans-NL-dominant N. sibirica L., and the iridoid-lacking N. nervosa Royle & Bentham, revealing significant structural and functional differences in their iridoid synthases (ISY). N. rtanjensis was found to have two orthologues of ISY (NrISY1 and NrISY2), while N. sibirica and N. nervosa each had only one ISY (NsISY and NnISY, respectively). Although the phylogenetic analysis grouped NrISY1, NsISY, and NnISY with non-active Family 1 isoforms, organ-specific expression highlighted NrISY2, NsISY, and NnISY as promising ISY candidates. In vitro assays confirmed their function and NrISY2 was the most efficient in converting 8-oxogeranial to cis,trans-nepetalactol. However, 3D modeling and molecular docking analyses suggested that NnISY may have a unique cyclase activity. Likely, under in vivo conditions, the NnISY lacks substrates to catalyze, as a result of the loss of upstream geraniol synthase (GES) activity, which results in the loss of iridoids in N. nervosa. Presumably, some of the downstream pathway genes (NEPSs and MLPLs), essential for the NL biosynthesis, also underwent structural and activity changes in this species. Our ongoing work is conducted towards testing these robust hypotheses and re-establishing iridoid biosynthesis in N. nervosa.

AB  - Iridoids, a class of atypical monoterpenes, exhibit exceptional diversity within the Nepeta genus (subfam. Nepetoidae, fam. Lamiaceae).The majority of these plants produce iridoids of the unique stereochemistry, with nepetalactones (NLs) predominating; however, a few Nepeta species lack these compounds. By comparatively analyzing metabolomics, transcriptomics, gene co-expression, and phylogenetic data of the iridoid-producing N. rtanjensis Diklić & Milojević and iridoid-lacking N. nervosa Royle & Bentham, we presumed that one of the factors responsible for the absence of these compounds in N. nervosa is iridoid synthase (ISY). Two orthologues of ISY were mined from leaves transcriptome of N. rtanjensis (NrPRISE1 and NrPRISE2), while in N. nervosa only one (NnPRISE) was identified, and it was phylogenetically closer to the representatives of the Family 1 isoforms, designated as P5βRs. Organ-specific and MeJA-elicited profiling of iridoid content and co-expression analysis of IBG candidates, highlighted NrPRISE2 and NnPRISE as promising candidates for ISY orthologues, and their function was confirmed using in vitro assays with recombinant proteins, after heterologous expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli and their His-tag affinity purification. NrPRISE2 demonstrated ISY activity both in vitro and likely in planta, which was supported by the 3D modeling and molecular docking analysis, thus reclassification of NrPRISE2 to NrISY is accordingly recommended. NnPRISE also displays in vitro ISY-like activity, while its role under in vivo conditions was not here unambiguously confirmed. Most probably under in vivo conditions the NnPRISE lacks substrates to act upon, as a result of the loss of function of some of the upstream enzymes of the iridoid pathway. Our ongoing work is conducted towards re-establishing the biosynthesis of iridoids in N. nervosa.

AB  - Nepeta L. is the largest genus of the Lamiaceae family, and the exclusive representative of the
subfamily Nepetoidae which produces iridoids. However, the genus Nepeta comprises both taxa
producing iridoids (iridoid aglycones-IAs and/or iridoid glucosides-IGs), and those lacking iridoids.
Combining omics-guided approach and functional genomics in elucidating the genetic background
of the iridoid diversity within the genus Nepeta, we provide novel insights into molecular
mechanisms driving the iridoid biosynthesis, and thus into chemical evolution of iridoids within
the genus Nepeta. Multidisciplinary experimental approach is here explained on the example
of iridoid synthases (IS), functionally characterized by in vitro enzymatic assays using recombinant
proteins heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. Functional ISs are expressed in both
iridoid-producing N. rtanjensis (NrIS2) and N. sibirica L. (NsIS), as well as in iridoid-lacking N. nervosa
L. (NnIS). N. nervosa possesses an iridoid biosynthetic platform, but inactive one, most likely due
to the “switching off” or “silencing” of some gene(s) upstream in the pathway, which suggests that
this species has lost the ability to produce iridoids during the evolution. Furthermore, comparative
iridoid profiling and co-expression analysis of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors (TFs)
during the exposure of chemodiverse Nepeta taxa to environmental stresses (e.g. dehydration,
UV−B radiation, pathogens) or elicitors (MeJA), facilitated the explanation of regulatory mechanisms
determining the productivity of plants, as well as of factors responsible for the presence/
absence of iridoids or specific groups of iridoids (IAs and IGs), in these plants.

the genus Nepeta. Multidisciplinary experimental approach is here explained on the example
of iridoid synthases (IS), functionally characterized by in vitro enzymatic assays using recombinant
proteins heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. Functional ISs are expressed in both
iridoid-producing N. rtanjensis (NrIS2) and N. sibirica L. (NsIS), as well as in iridoid-lacking N. nervosa
L. (NnIS). N. nervosa possesses an iridoid biosynthetic platform, but inactive one, most likely due
to the “switching off” or “silencing” of some gene(s) upstream in the pathway, which suggests that
this species has lost the ability to produce iridoids during the evolution. Furthermore, comparative
iridoid profiling and co-expression analysis of biosynthetic genes and transcription factors (TFs)
during the exposure of chemodiverse Nepeta taxa to environmental stresses (e.g. dehydration,
UV−B radiation, pathogens) or elicitors (MeJA), facilitated the explanation of regulatory mechanisms
determining the productivity of plants, as well as of factors responsible for the presence/
absence of iridoids or specific groups of iridoids (IAs and IGs), in these plants.",

AB  - Cistus creticus subsp. creticus is a shrubby Mediterranean plant used since ancient times in folk medicine for the treatment of different diseases. C. creticus extracts and resin contain different types of secondary metabolites , such as terpenoids (predominantly labdane type diterpenoids), and phenylpropanoids. Growth conditions seem to influence the content of labdane-type diterpenes and flavan-3-ols in leaves of C. creticus subsp. creticus . Histochemical staining of leaves' trichomes and comprehensive phytochemical characterization of resin, leaves and their exudates, indicated that long-stalked capitate trichomes of C. creticus subsp. creticus , grown both in vitro (IV) and in greenhouse (GH), are capable of producing bioactive oleoresin-related terpenoids and phenylpropanoids compounds. Bioactivity-guided approach was implemented in search for the major antibacterial compound in C. creticus resin against two Gram-negative ( Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ) and two Gram-positive bacteria ( Bacillus cereus and Micrococcus flavus ). Bioautographic assay on TLC plates with separated components of Cistus resin extract, revealed a pronounced zone of microbial growth inhibition, corresponded to a highly active compound with Rf values of 0.45, structurally characterized and identified as ent -3 β -acetoxy-13- epi -manoyl oxide. This finding opens the route for focusing on isolation and functional characterization of genes involved in the biosynthesis of ent -3 β -acetoxy-13- epi -manoyl oxide and its precursor ent -3 β -hydroxy-13- epi -manoyl oxide, with the aim to establish sustainable in vitro biotechnological protocols for its large-scale production in homologous and heterologous plant and microbial hosts.

AB  - In the world of complex smells in natural environment, feeding and mating represent two important olfactory-guided behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae). Diet affects the chemoprofile composition of the individuals, which, indirectly, may significantly affect their mating success. In this study, chemoprofiles of recently mated flies belonging to four D. melanogaster strains, which were fed for many generations on different substrates (standard cornmeal-S strain; banana-B strain; carrot-C strain; tomato-T strain) were identified and quantified. In total, 67 chemical compounds were identified: 48 compounds were extracted from males maintained on banana and carrot, and 47 compounds from males maintained on cornmeal and tomato substrates, while total of 60 compounds were identified in females from all strains. The strains and the sexes significantly differed in qualitative nature of their chemoprofiles after mating. Significant differences in the relative amount of three major male pheromones (cis-vaccenyl acetate-cVA, (Z)-7-pentacosene, and (Z)-7-tricosene) and in female pheromone (Z,Z)-7,11-nonacosadiene among strains were also recorded. Furthermore, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) pointed to significant differences between virgin and mated individuals of all strains and within both sexes. Differences in some of the well known sex pheromones were also identified when comparing their relative amount before and after mating. The presence of typical male pheromones in females, and vice versa may indicate their bidirectional transfer during copulation. Our results confirm significant effect of mating status on cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) phenotypes in differently fed D. melanogaster flies.

AB  - Essential oils (EOs) obtained from plants can frequently exhibit toxicity and repellency/deterrence against insect pests. Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) and basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) EOs are used in pest management applications, but the most-discussed constraint regards restraining the usage of these natural insecticides in common agricultural practices is related to the volatility and limited persistence of EOs under field conditions. Due to high volatility, the efficacy of these substances falls short after EO application and requires frequent reapplication. There is a great interest in developing formulations that improve the handling of EOs, prevent the photodegradation of their active ingredients, and control the release of volatiles through micro/nanospheres or capsules in solid or liquid form. The polymer-based EO nanoformulations provide the stability and optimal effectiveness of EOs with an anti-insecticidal effect. One of the main advantages of solid formulations is that they can have a longer shelf life and be applied in solid form or even mixed with water and sprayed. We investigated the formation and characterization of inclusion complexes (ICs) of beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with two selected EOs, using the co-precipitation method. The main constituents of EOs determined by GC-MS analyses were trans-anethole (37.77%) and α-pinene (23.51%) in fennel EO, and linalool (32.6%) and methyl chavicol (23.2%) in basil EO. The interaction between β-CD and EO molecules was assessed through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and it was used to characterize the ICs by evaluating the changes recorded in the ICs compared to the free β-CD and individual EO. FT-IR spectra of inclusion complexes displayed peak shifts and variations of intensity when it compared to FT-IR spectra of EOs and free β-CD. β-cyclodextrin resulted as an effective host in encapsulating selected EOs. The potato plants sprayed with ICs were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and showed ICs with lamellate or rhomboid morphology. Bioassay with Colorado potato beetle fed with potato plants covered with ICs showed that complexation with β-CD reduced insects’ growth (body mass of IV instar larvae where 119.84±1.48 mg and 120.79±7.42 mg for IC with fennel and basil EO respectively in comparison to body mass of control larvae 138.97±2.01mg) and affected digestive proteolytic activity.

AB  - Two Balkan Peninsula endemics, Nepeta rtanjensis and N. argolica subsp. argolica, both characterized by specialized metabolite profiles predominated by iridoids and phenolics, are differentiated according to the stereochemistry of major iridoid aglycone nepetalactone (NL). For the first time, the present study provides a comparative analysis of antimicrobial and immunomodulating activities of the two Nepeta species and their major iridoids isolated from natural sources—cis,transNL, trans,cis-NL, and 1,5,9-epideoxyloganic acid (1,5,9-eDLA), as well as of phenolic acid rosmarinic acid (RA). Methanol extracts and pure iridoids displayed excellent antimicrobial activity against eight strains of bacteria and seven strains of fungi. They were especially potent against food-borne pathogens such as L. monocytogenes, E. coli, S. aureus, Penicillium sp., and Aspergillus sp. Targeted iridoids were efficient agents in preventing biofilm formation of resistant P. aeruginosa strain, and they displayed additive antimicrobial interaction. Iridoids are, to a great extent, responsible for the prominent antimicrobial activities of the two Nepeta species, although are probably minor contributors to the moderate immunomodulatory effects. The analyzed iridoids and RA, individually or in mixtures, have the potential to be used in the pharmaceutical industry as potent antimicrobials, and in the food industry to increase the shelf life and safety of food products.

AB  - Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) in Drosophila melanogaster represent the basis of chemical communication being involved in
many important biological functions. The aim of this study was to characterize chemical composition and variation of cuticular
profiles in five D. melanogaster strains. These strains were reared for approximately 300 generations on five diets: standard
cornmeal medium and substrates prepared with apple, banana, tomato, and carrot. Differences in quantity and/or quality in
CHCs were assumed as a result of activation of different metabolic pathways involved in food digestion and adaptations to the
particular diet type.
In total, independently of sex and strain, 66 chemical compounds were identified. In females of all strains, 60 compounds were
identified, while, in males, 47 compounds were extracted. Certain new chemical compounds for D. melanogaster were found.
MANOVA confirmed that CHC amounts significantly depend on sex and substrates, as well as on their interactions. Discriminant
analysis revealed that flies belonging to ÐappleÏ and ÐcarrotÏ strains exhibited the most noticeable differences in CHC repertoires.
A non-hydrocarbon pheromone, cis-vaccenyl acetate (cVA) also contributed to the variation in the pheromone bouquet among
the strains. Variability detected in CHCs and cVAmay be used in the explanation of differences in mating behaviour previously
determined in analyzed fly strains.
