Physiological and metabolic responses of to cadmium stress.

Unlabelled: is a significant medicinal plant indigenous to China and Vietnam. In China, is mainly grown naturally on limestone mountains or is cultivated artificially in arable land. Heavy metal contamination in agricultural soil, particularly cadmium (Cd), poses serious threats to soil health, as well as the growth and productivity of .

Analysis of the Spatholobus suberectus full-length transcriptome identified an R2R3-MYB transcription factor-encoding gene SsMYB158 that regulates flavonoid biosynthesis.

Spatholobus suberectus Dunn (Leguminosae) has been used for medicinal purposes for a long period. Flavonoids are the major bioactive components of S. suberectus.

Shade responses and resistant mechanisms in .

The medicinal plant Dunn is easily exposed to shade stress during growth, but its shade responses and shade stress resistant mechanisms have not been clarified. In this study, shade treatments including four attenuated sunlight intensities (100%, 60%, 40%, and 10%) and three shade durations (30 d, 45 d, and 60 d) were applied to . The shade-induced morphological indicators, phytohormonal regulations, metabolic flavonoids contents, transcriptomic flavonoid pathway gene expressions, and stress physiological changes of were analyzed.

Integrated transcriptome and small RNA sequencing analyses reveal a drought stress response network in Sophora tonkinensis.

Background: Sophora tonkinensis Gagnep is a traditional Chinese medical plant that is mainly cultivated in southern China. Drought stress is one of the major abiotic stresses that negatively impacts S. tonkinensis growth.

Economical, green and rapid synthesis of CDs-CuO/CuO nanotube from the biomass waste reed as sensitive sensing platform for the electrochemical detection of hydrazine.

Reeds live widely in swamp and wetland and have an important ecological balance functions in environmental protection. However, the use of reeds is not effectively. The carbon dots (CDs) have been developed as the family of 0D nanocarbon materials and have all the advantages of the carbon family.

Reed-derived fluorescent carbon dots as highly selective probes for detecting Fe and excellent cell-imaging agents.

A kind of highly selective and sensitive fluorescent probe for detecting Fe, carbon dots (CDs), was prepared with renewable reed naturally containing C, N, O, and S elements as a green and eco-friendly carbon source by a simple hydrothermal process. The fluorescence of CDs without purification and surface modification can be quenched by Fe in a wide concentration range of 0 to 362 μmol L (concentration of Fe), with detection limits as low as 0.014 μmol L in 0-50 μmol L.
