Anti-Inflammatory Flavonoids from Ledeb: Focusing on Activity-Guided Isolation.

To elucidate the anti-inflammatory properties and constituents of Ledeb. (), a comprehensive investigation was conducted employing activity-guided isolation. The anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated through an in vitro nitric oxide (NO) assay on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.

Postharvest Drying Techniques Regulate Secondary Metabolites and Anti-Neuroinflammatory Activities of .

extract is a potent traditional remedy for curing various ailments. Drying is the most important postharvest step during the processing of The drying process mainly involves heat (36 h at 60 °C) and freeze-drying (36 h at -80 °C). We investigated the effects of different postharvest drying protocols on the metabolites profiling of using GC-MS, followed by an investigation of the anti-neuroinflammatory potential in LPS-treated BV2 microglial cells.

Modulation of Rice Leaf Angle and Grain Size by Expressing and under the Control of Promoter.

Leaf angle and grain size are important agronomic traits affecting rice productivity directly and/or indirectly through modulating crop architecture. OsBC1, as a typical bHLH transcription factor, is one of the components comprising a complex formed with LO9-177 and OsBUL1 contributing to modulation of rice leaf inclination and grain size. In the current study, two homologues of , and were functionally characterized by expressing them under the control of promoter, which is preferentially expressed in the lamina joint and the spikelet of rice.
