Antimicrobial Activity of Necklace Orchids is Phylogenetically Clustered and can be Predicted With a Biological Response Method
TLDR
Comparative bioprospecting for a group of wild orchids using EBDCS organ targeted and biological response methods found the biological response classification method is a more effective tool in finding hot nodes amongst clades of species with high medicinal potential.

Chemical Differentiation of Plant Latexes and Their Anti-herbivory Activity against Thrips Frankliniella occidentalis.
TLDR
This work has found that aqueous fractions of several latexes were found to possess simple spectra, even with only 1 metabolite, that might be involved in the modulation of the rate of latex coagulation, potentially increasing the sealing and trapping effects of the latex.
