Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.), an important food and industrial crop in the world, has a highly heterozygous hexaploid genome, making the development of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers challenging. Identifying SNP loci and developing practical SNP markers are crucial for genomic and genetic research on sweetpotato.

The filamentous fungus (Kamyschko) Yilmaz, Frisvad & Samson, 2014, has attracted considerable interest in biotechnology due to its diverse industrial applications and physiological characteristics. However, the mitochondrial genome of remains uncharacterized. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome of , comprising 38,000 bp with a GC content of 24.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The herbal pair Alpinia officinarum-Cyperus rotundus (HPAC) has an extended history of use in the treatment of gastric ulcers, and its curative effect is definite.

Aim Of The Study: To explore the material basis and holistic mechanism of HPAC on ethanol-induced gastric ulcers.

Materials And Methods: Three chemometrics, GRA, OPLS, and BCA, were used to construct the spectrum-effect relationship between the HPLC fingerprints of HPAC extracts and the bioactivity indices (cell viability; the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, COX-2, and PGE2; and wound healing rate) against GES-1 cell damage to screen the bioactive ingredients.

Phenolic acids are known to reduce root biomass and hinder plant development, but it is unclear how they affect potato root traits. Over a 10 year field experiment, we found a negative correlation between the potato yield and continuous cropping years. The substantial reduction in adventitious root (AR) numbers was found to be primarily inhibited by soil vanillin accumulation.

Article Synopsis
  • F.AOH from Hance shows protective effects against gastric ulcers in rats and cells exposed to ethanol.
  • It significantly reduces gastric ulcer area and cell apoptosis while improving inflammatory and oxidative stress markers.
  • The mechanism involves inhibition of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and modulation of specific gene expressions related to inflammation and cell survival.

Expansins play important roles in root growth and development, but investigation of the expansin gene family has not yet been reported in , and little is known regarding storage root (SR) development. In this work, we identified a total of 37 () in our previously reported SR-forming strain Y22 genome, which included 23 , 4 , 2 and 8 . The phylogenetic relationship, genome localization, subcellular localization, gene and protein structure, promoter -regulating elements, and protein interaction network were systematically analyzed to reveal the possible roles of in the SR development of .

The essential oil (EO) of the herbal pair (HP), Alpinia officinarum-Cyperus rotundus (HP G-X) has been conventionally used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for 'warming the stomach' and relieving pain. However, its pharmacologically active compounds, as well as the mechanism of its anti-gastric ulcer properties remain unclear. In this study, the EOs obtained from HP G-X and its corresponding single herbs were analyzed using GC/MS.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the protective effects of diphenylheptanes (DPHs) from Hance (Zingiberaceae) on ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in mice.
  • 60 female BALB/c mice were divided into six groups to test different treatments, revealing that DPHs significantly reduced gastric ulcer severity compared to a positive control.
  • DPHs enhanced antioxidant activity while lowering inflammation markers, indicating their potential as a supplement for preventing and treating gastric ulcers.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the predictive value of the plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) level at admission for in-hospital mortality in patients who received emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following AMI. A single blood sample was collected at admission from 155 consecutive AMI patients who underwent emergent PCI. The plasma levels of MMP-9 value (528.

We aimed to investigate whether the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), a combined nutritional-inflammatory score based on serum albumin levels and lymphocyte count, was associated with mortality in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). From September 2011 to November 2014, 309 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI were prospectively enrolled. Patients with a combined score of albumin (g/L) + 5 × total lymphocyte count × 10/L ≥ 45 or <45 were assigned a PNI score of 0 or 1, respectively.
