Front cover illustration: Picture 1 (left) Geoffrey C. Kite et al., (Phytochemistry (2010) 71: 1122–1131) have investigated he neoflavonoid dalnigrin which is acharacteristic constituent of heartwood of the legume Dalbergia nigra (Brazilian rosewood) that is not present in the anatomically-similar wood of Dalbergiaspruceana. This chemical distinction improves the identification of timber samples suspected to be Brazilian rosewood and enhances the enforcement ofCITES regulations, which list D. nigra but not D. spruceana. Picture 2 (centre left) Xiao-Min Liu et al., (Phytochemistry (2010) 71: 614–618) show thatcadmium activates the mitogen-activated protein kinases, MPK3 and MPK6, in Arabidopsis, with the Cd sensing pathway using build-up of reactive oxygenspecies to trigger activation of the MPKs. Picture 3 (centre right) Mark W. Sumarah et al., (Phytochemistry (2010) 71: 760–765) have screened fungalendophytes of Picea rubens for extracts that showed toxicity to the forest pest Choristoneura fumiferana in dietary bioassays. Isolation of the majormetabolites led to the discovery of the four natural products shown. Picture 4 (right) Elsa Steinunn Halldorsdottir, Jerzy W. Jaroszewski and Elin SoffiaOlafsdottir (Phytochemistry (2010) 71: 149–157) describe docking studies using 3D model of EeAChE provided rationale for low inhibitory activity oflycopodane-type alkaloids from Lycopodium annotinum, as well as hints for future structure-based design.
