rhizome is a traditional Chinese medicine of the same origin as food and medicine, and it has high economic value and social benefits. To screen the excellent germplasm resources of () and clarify the nutritional and medicinal value of the rhizome of , we used widely targeted metabolomics to analyze the traits and metabolomics of rhizomes of different germplasms of from different growth years. The results showed that different germplasms and growth years of were rich in different nutritional and medicinal components.

The zeolite monoliths were synthesized by a facile polymer scaffold template assisted hydrothermal method. The selected foam-shaped template of a polyurethane (PU) foam monolith, was used to prepare the self-standing zeolite foam (ZF) monolithic materials. The obtained ZF products can preserve the same size, shape and macroporous network structure of the original PU foam scaffold template, although the zeolite nano-crystallites had been fully substituted for the PU template to form the new skeleton struts and walls.

Phytoene synthase (PSY) has been considered as an important regulatory enzyme in carotenoids biosynthesis pathway. Previous study finds that the yellow fruit in var. accession PI 114490 is caused by loss-of-function of SlPSY1 due to -splicing between and an unknown gene transcribed from neighbour opposite strand DNA of .
