Abstract
Jatropha L. species, in particular, J. curcas and J. gossypiifolia, are well known medicinal plants used for treating various diseases. In the present study, leaf and stem bark extracts of J. curcas and J. gossypiifolia obtained by maceration or homogenizer assisted extraction, were investigated for their phytochemical contents and biological potential as antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors and neuromodulators. In this regard, the gene expression of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was investigated in hypothalamic HypoE22 cells. Finally, a bioinformatics analysis was carried out with the aim to unravel the putative mechanisms consistent with both metabolomic fingerprints and pharmacological effects. The leaf extracts of J. curcas showed higher total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) than the stem bark extracts (range: 5.79–48.95 mg GAE/g and 1.64–13.99 mg RE/g, respectively), while J. gossypiifolia possessed TPC and TFC in the range of 42.62–62.83 mg GAE/g and 6.97–17.63 mg RE/g, respectively. HPLC-MS/MS analysis revealed that the leaf extracts of both species obtained by homogenizer assisted extraction are richer in phytochemical compounds compared to the stem bark extracts obtained by the same extraction method. In vitro antioxidant potentials were also demonstrated in different assays (DPPH: 6.89–193.93 mg TE/g, ABTS: 20.20–255.39 mg TE/g, CUPRAC: 21.07–333.30 mg TE/g, FRAP: 14.02–168.93 mg TE/g, metal chelating activity: 3.21–17.51 mg EDTAE/g and phosphomolybdenum assay: 1.76–3.55 mmol TE/g). In particular, the leaf extract of J. curcas and the stem bark extract of J. gossypiifolia, both obtained by homogenizer assisted extraction, showed the most potent antioxidant capacity in terms of free radical scavenging and reducing activity, which could be related to their higher TPC and TFC. Furthermore, anti-neurodegenerative (acetylcholinesterase inhibition: 1.12–2.36 mg GALAE/g; butyrylcholinetserase inhibition: 0.50–3.68 mg GALAE/g), anti-hyperpigmentation (tyrosinase inhibition: 38.14–57.59 mg KAE/g) and antidiabetic (amylase inhibition: 0.28–0.62 mmol ACAE/g; glucosidase inhibition: 0.65–0.81 mmol ACAE/g) properties were displayed differentially by the different extracts. Additionally, the extracts were effective in reducing the gene expression of both TNFα and BDNF, which could be partially mediated by phenolic compounds such as naringenin, apigenin and quercetin. Indeed, the scientific data obtained from the present study complement the several other reports highlighting the pharmacological potentials of these two species, thus supporting their uses as therapeutically active plants.

Abstract
Severe yellow mosaic disease was observed in three ornamental species of Jatropha: J. integerrima, J. podagrica and J. multifida grown in gardens at Lucknow, India, during a survey in 2013. The causal pathogen was successfully transmitted from diseased to healthy plants of these species by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). The infection of begomovirus was initially detected in naturally infected plant samples by PCR using begomovirus universal primers. The begomovirus was characterized having a monopartite genome based on sequence analyses of the cloned ∼2.9kb DNA-A genome amplified by rolling circle amplification using Phi-29 DNA polymerase. The genome contained 2844 nucleotides that could be translated into seven potential open reading frames. The nucleotide sequences of DNA-A genome of the begomovirus isolates: JI (KC513823), JP (KF652078) and JM (KF652077) shared 94-95% identities together and 93-95% identities with an uncharacterized begomovirus isolated from J. curcas (the only sequences available in GenBank database as GU451249 and EU798996 under the name jatropha leaf curl virus). These shared highest identity of 61% and highly distant phylogenetic relationships with other begomoviruses reported worldwide. Based on 61% sequence identities (much less than 89%, the species demarcation criteria for a new begomovirus) the isolates under study were identified as members of a new Begomovirus species for which the name was proposed as "Jatropha mosaic Lucknow virus (JMLV)". The recombination analysis also suggested that JMLV was not a recombinant species, hence considered as unidentified Begomovirus species. Koch's postulates were also established by agroinfiltration assay of agroinfectious clone of JMLV. Characterization of JMLV associated with yellow mosaic disease of J. integerrima, J. podagrica and J. multifida is being reported for the first time.
