Widely Targeted Metabolomics Analysis of the Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers, and Fruits of , a Species with an Extremely Small Population.

is a rare and endangered plant endemic to China. It has high ornamental and potential economic and medicinal value, and is an important germplasm resource of Camellia. To understand the distributions and differences in metabolites from different parts of , in this study, we used liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to examine the types and contents of chemical constituents in five organs of : roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.

Transcriptome and proteome analyses reveal high nitrate or ammonium applications alleviate photosynthetic decline of seedlings under elevated carbon dioxide by regulating and .

Unlabelled: The global CO concentration is predicted to reach 700 µmol·mol by the end of this century. (Hemsl.) Yang is a precious timber species and is listed as a national secondary protection plant in China.

Changes and transcriptome regulation of endogenous hormones during somatic embryogenesis in Prain.

Introduction: Ormosia henryi is a rare and endangered plant growing in southern China. Somatic embryo culture is an effective measure for the rapid propagation of O. henryi.

Ammonium application mitigates the effects of elevated carbon dioxide on the carbon/nitrogen balance of Phoebe bournei seedlings.

The study of plant responses to increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is crucial to understand and to predict the effect of future global climate change on plant adaptation and evolution. Increasing amount of nitrogen (N) can promote the positive effect of CO2, while how N forms would modify the degree of CO2 effect is rarely studied. The aim of this study was to determine whether the amount and form of nitrogen (N) could mitigate the effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) on enzyme activities related to carbon (C) and N metabolism, the C/N ratio, and growth of Phoebe bournei (Hemsl.

Fullerenes and their derivatives as inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-α with highly promoted affinities.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a cell signalling protein involved in systemic inflammation in infectious and other malignant diseases. Physiologically, it plays an important role in regulating host defence, but its overexpression can lead to serious illnesses including cancer, autoimmune disease and inflammatory disease. Gadolinium-based metallofullerenols, e.
