Abstract The effects of 9β-benzoyloxy-la, 2α, 6β, 8α, 15-pentaacetoxy-dihydro-β-agarofuran and 9β furoyloxy-1α, 6β, 8α-triacetoxy-dihydro-β-agarofuran, major phytogrowth inhibitors isolated from the aerial parts of Maytenus disticha (Celastraceae) and seeds of Maytenus boaria (Celastaraceae), respectively, on different photosynthetic activities of isolated spinach chloroplasts have been investigated. Photophosphorylation and electron transport (basal, phosphorylating and uncoupled) were inhibited in a concentration dependent manner by both compounds, therefore acting as Hill reaction inhibitors. The site of action of these natural compounds was located in the span from P680 to QA. 9β-benzoyloxy-1,2,6,8,15-pentaacetoxydihydro-β-agarofuran was one order of magnitude more potent (I50 = 2.6 μм) than 9β-furoyloxy-1,6,8,-triacetoxydihydro-β-agarofuran, suggesting that the substitution at C-9 and the acetoxy groups at carbons 2 and 15 are important structural requirements for the displayed inhibitory activity.

The transformation of scientific genres in the context of the general digitalization of modern culture is considered. It is shown that the speech genre content of this process is based on the mechanisms of generation and transformation of the text of two types, the interpretation of which can be useful in order to better understand the nature, tasks and tools of scientometry at this stage, and in order to better understand the speech genre structure of scientific speech. Firstly, the structural requirements for articles and monographs indexed in scientometric systems (Scopus, WoS, DOAJ, RSCI, etc.) are approved and streamlined, and thereby our knowledge of what an article is from its structure (i.e. knowledge about the genre of the article). Secondly, the requirements of indexing systems lead to the fact that the texts of articles change, they are “written differently”, and sometimes redone after appropriate recommendations from publishers. The points highlighted in scientometric systems can be understood as signs that an article must comply with in order to be assigned to the “speech genre of a scientific article”. The largest quantitative indicators for these items are indicators of how close to the core of the genre this or that text will turn out.
