Background: Less. is a perennial herb belonging to the Compositae family that has been used in traditional medicine as an antitussive and expectorant for treating chronic bronchitis and acute respiratory infections. Traditionally, Feining Granules are prepared from water extracts of the raw plant material.

Cocculus orbiculatus (C. orbiculatus), the root of plants belonging to the Menispermaceae family, has been extensively used to treat various diseases, including malaria and rheumatism. The main chemicals in these plants are alkaloids; however, the spatial distribution of these compounds within the plant roots remains undefined.

Lemna minor L. (LM) has been used for measles opacity, rubella itching, edema, and oliguria, and the main active ingredients were flavonoids, namely, apigenin, apigenin-7-O-glucoside, and luteolin-7-O-glucoside. However, few systematic analyses of their constituents have been performed; thus, it was necessary to establish a fast and efficient method to identify the chemical composition of LM.

Diacerein, a competently semisynthetic diacetyl derivative of anthraquinone, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which has been used for treating osteoarthritis and preventing vascular diseases. However, previous investigation indicated that diacerein metabolites and its metabolic pathway in vivo was still unclear. In this research, an effective method was established based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive-Orbitrap mass spectrometer and molecular docking to screen and detect the potential active metabolites of diacerein in rat plasma after oral administration.

is the dried ripe fruit of the Rhamnaceae family; it is widely distributed in Shandong, Henan, Liaoning, and other places in China. In folk medicine, it was used to restore vital energy, as a blood tonic, and for the treatment of spleen deficiency. To date, a complete investigation of the compounds of has rarely been performed.

Common oat (Avena sativa) is an important cereal crop serving as a valuable source of forage and human food. Although reference genomes of many important crops have been generated, such work in oat has lagged behind, primarily owing to its large, repeat-rich polyploid genome. Here, using Oxford Nanopore ultralong sequencing and Hi-C technologies, we have generated a reference-quality genome assembly of hulless common oat, comprising 21 pseudomolecules with a total length of 10.

Article Synopsis
  • - A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population from two oat parents (WAOAT2132 and Caracas) was studied to evaluate how a dwarfing gene affects plant height and other agronomic traits across three environments, revealing that the gene notably reduces plant height and panicle length without significantly affecting coleoptile length.
  • - The dwarfing gene was shown to negatively influence weight and length of kernels, while increasing productive tillers, suggesting a trade-off that could lead to lower overall yield due to reduced kernel weight.
  • - Five polymorphic SSR markers on chromosome 6D were linked to the dwarfing gene, aiding in the mapping of its location, which will assist future research in identifying and understanding this gene in oat varieties.
