The aim of the present study was to investigate the transcriptomic differences between Panax ginseng [Renshen (RS)] plants bitten by pests (n=3, test group; samples defined as RS11‑13) or not (n=3, control group; samples defined as RS1‑3) using de novo RNA sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq™ 2000 platform. A total of 51,097,386 (99.6%), 49,310,564 (99.

Alternaria panax Whetz causes one of the most commonly occurring and serious diseases in ginseng cultivation, and may cause significant production and economic losses in the ginseng industry. Rapid, early, and accurate identification of Alternaria panax Whetz is an essential prerequisite for the effective prevention and control of further infection spread. In this work, a rapid and accurate molecular diagnostic method, a single-tube nested PCR-lateral flow biosensor assay (STNPCR-LFBA), was developed for rapid identification of Alternaria panax Whetz.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms of Tangshen formula (TSF) for treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). MATERIAL AND METHODS Microarray dataset GSE90842 was collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, including renal cortical tissues from normal control (NC), DKD, and DKD mice given TSF for 12 weeks (TSF) (n=3). Differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using LIMMA method.

Article Synopsis
  • The study tested five strains of Polygonatum odoratum to assess their cold resistance by measuring various factors like supercooling point and freezing point.
  • Results indicated that cold resistance varied among the strains and was partially linked to the water content in the plant tissues.
  • The cold resistance rankings for the strains were ZJCY being the most resistant, followed by DYYZ, XYYZ, CYYZ, and JZ I as the least resistant.
