Immunostimulatory activity of the aqueous extract from the leaves of subsp. through TLR4‑dependent JNK activation in RAW264.7 cells.

subsp. (SRP) is an endemic plant of Korea, exclusively found on Ulleungdo Island. SRP is widely used as both a traditional medicine and food source.

Anti‑obesity and immunostimulatory activity of in mouse preadipocytes 3T3‑L1 cells and mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cells.

(CF) is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial activities. However, there is a lack of research on its other pharmacological properties. In the present study, the bifunctional roles of CF in 3T3-L1 and RAW264.

Genetic Insights into the Extremely Dwarf var. : Complete Chloroplast Genome Analysis and Development of a Novel dCAPS Marker.

This study explored the chloroplast (cp) genomes of three (HS) specimens endemic to Korea possessing unique ornamental and conservation values: the dwarf var. (HSVM), renowned for its small stature and breeding potential; HS 'Tamra', a cultivar from Korea's southernmost islands, noteworthy for its distinctive beauty; and HS Natural Monument no. 521 (N.

Multivariate Analysis among Marker Compounds, Environmental Factors, and Fruit Quality of at Different Locations in South Korea.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation among the contents of marker compounds, growth characteristics, and environmental factors of fruits across South Korea. The fruits were collected from 36 cultivation sites in 28 regions across the country. We investigated nine growth characteristics, twelve soil physicochemical properties, eight meteorological data, and three marker compounds in this study.

Effects of Drip Irrigation-Fertilization on Growth, Flowering, Photosynthesis and Nutrient Absorption of Containerized Seedlings of L. (Haeoreum).

The amount of irrigation and fertilization should be considered first for the production and standardization of high-quality L. seedlings using container seedlings. This study was conducted to investigate the optimal conditions suitable for container cultivation of hibiscus by analyzing growth and physiological responses according to the control of irrigation and fertilization.

High-throughput discovery of plastid genes causing albino phenotypes in ornamental chimeric plants.

Chimeric plants composed of green and albino tissues have great ornamental value. To unveil the functional genes responsible for albino phenotypes in chimeric plants, we inspected the complete plastid genomes (plastomes) in green and albino leaf tissues from 23 ornamental chimeric plants belonging to 20 species, including monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms. In nine chimeric plants, plastomes were identical between green and albino tissues.

Complete chloroplast genome sequence of Linnaeus 1753 (Malvaceae).

L. is an annual herbaceous plant belonging to the Malvaceae family. It is native to Central Africa, however, is now naturalized in Europe and Asia including Korea.

Nutritional composition and phytochemical screening in different parts of L.

As the national flower of Korea, the L. (Rose of Sharon) is symbolic in its abundance and is a prominent feature of Korean culture.  has played an important role in Korea, not only as an ornamental plant but also as an essential ingredient in folk remedies through its various parts.

Anthocyanins from L. Inhibit Melanogenesis by Activating the ERK Signaling Pathway.

L. exhibited promising potential as a new source of food and colorants containing various anthocyanins. However, the function of anthocyanins from L.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hibiscus syriacus.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hibiscus syriacus L. is presented in this study. The genome is composed of 161 019 bp in length, with a typical circular structure containing a pair of inverted repeats of 25 745 bp of length separated by a large single-copy region and a small single-copy region of 89 698 bp and 19 831 bp of length, respectively.
