Genomics and resequencing of from different geographic regions reveals species evolution and genetic diversity.

, belonging to the family and genus , is used in traditional Chinese medicine and is rich in beneficial components, such as flavonoids. As its abundant medicinal value has become increasingly recognized, its excessive development poses a considerable challenge to wild germplasm resources, necessitating artificial cultivation and domestication. Considering these factors, a high-quality genome of was assembled and the evolutionary relationships within were compared, based on which 58 individual samples of were re-sequenced.

Sodium Ferulate Inhibits Rat Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Induced by Angiotensin II Through Enhancement of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase/Nitric Oxide/Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate Signaling Pathway.

Sodium ferulate (SF) is the sodium salt of ferulic acid, which is one of the effective components of Angelica sinensis and Lignsticum chuanxiong , and plays an important role in protecting the cardiovascular system. In this study, myocardial hypertrophy was induced by angiotensin II 0.1 μmol/L in neonatal Sprague-Dawley rat ventricular myocytes.
