Binding proteins PnCOX11 and PnDCD strongly respond to GA and ABA in Panax notoginseng.

Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are one of the main active ingredients of Panax notoginseng, a representative plant of the genus Panax. However, the detailed regulation mechanism of PNS biosynthesis remains elusive. Therefore, a sequence of upstream promoters of PnSS and PnSE were cloned and analyzed firstly.

Suitable soil moisture contents for water use efficiency and saponins accumulation in .

Objective: The moisture content in the soil directly affects the yield and quality of especially at the age of three years old. However, the suitable moisture for the growth of is unknown. In this study, the effects of different soil moisture on the growth of were studied.

Enhancement of the Conductivity and Uniformity of Silver Nanowire Flexible Transparent Conductive Films by Femtosecond Laser-Induced Nanowelding.

In order to improve the performance of silver nanowire (AgNW) flexible transparent conductive films (FTCFs), including the conductivity, uniformity, and reliability, the welding of high repetition rate femtosecond (fs) laser is applied in this work. Fs laser irradiation can produce local enhancement of electric field, which induce melting at the gap of the AgNWs and enhance electrical conductivity of nanowire networks. The overall resistivity of the laser-welded AgNW FTCFs reduced significantly and the transparency changed slightly.

Fertilizer N application rate impacts plant-soil feedback in a sanqi production system.

Replant failure caused by negative plant-soil feedback (NPFS) in agricultural ecosystems is a critical factor restricting the development of sustainable agriculture. Soil nutrient availability has the capacity to affect plant-soil feedback. Here, we used sanqi (Panax notoginseng), which is severely threatened by NPSF, as a model plant to decipher the overall effects of nitrogen (N) rates on NPSF and the underlying mechanism.

Autotoxic ginsenosides in the rhizosphere contribute to the replant failure of Panax notoginseng.

Background And Aims: Sanqi ginseng (Panax notoginseng) growth is often hampered by replant failure. In this study, we aimed to examine the role of autotoxicity in Sanqi replant failures and assess the role of ginsenosides in autotoxicity.

Methods: The autotoxicities were measured using seedling emergence bioassays and root cell vigor staining.

Effects of chain conformation and entanglement on the electrospinning of pure alginate.

As a natural biopolymer, sodium alginate (SA) has been widely used in the biomedical field in the form of powder, liquid, gel, and compact solid, but not in the form of nanofiber. Electrospinning is an effective method to fabricate nanofibers. However, electrospinning of SA from its aqueous solution is still a challenge.
