Diversified quantity, gene structure, and expression profile of OPR gene family of A. annua.

Artemisia annua, the source of artemisinin production, is a traditional herb used for treating malaria for thousand years. The genetic background is of high heterozygosity and traits (plant height, biomass, artemisinin content, etc.) are diverse across different germplasms.

Narcolepsy in early childhood: a case report and a Mini review.

Narcolepsy is a sleep-wake disorder with an onset commonly seen in individuals aged 10-30 years. Due to various reasons, the diagnosis of narcolepsy often experiences a delay of at least ten years. Diagnosing narcolepsy in children is particularly challenging due to atypical symptoms, leading to frequent misdiagnosis or missed diagnoses.

The golden genome annotation of Ganoderma lingzhi reveals a more complex scenario of eukaryotic gene structure and transcription activity.

Background: It is generally accepted that nuclear genes in eukaryotes are located independently on chromosomes and expressed in a monocistronic manner. However, accumulating evidence suggests a more complex landscape of gene structure and transcription. Ganoderma lingzhi, a model medicinal fungus, currently lacks high-quality genome annotation, hindering genetic studies.

A comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes revealed the chloroplast heteroplasmy of .

L. is the main source of artemisinin, an antimalarial drug. High diversity of morphological characteristics and artemisinin contents of has affected the stable production of artemisinin while efficient discrimination method of strains is not available.

Genome-wide characterization of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1) gene family in Artemisia annua L. revealed a conservation evolutionary pattern.

Background: Artemisia annua is the major source for artemisinin production. The artemisinin content in A. annua is affected by different types of light especially the UV light.

Rural Morphology and Forces Driving Change in Rapidly Urbanizing Areas: A Case Study in Fujian, China.

Rapid urbanization in China has transformed many rural areas from agriculture-dominated to diverse systems, but studies of rural morphology are limited compared to studies of urban settlement. This paper uses a fractal dimension (FD) value to analyze the change in rural morphology in Fujian Province, a region with a long history of rural settlement and rapid recent urbanization, and to explore the factors that influenced this change. We found that the rural FD value increased from 2000 to 2012 and that rural morphology was spatially heterogeneous.

Copper-catalyzed synthesis of phenol and diaryl ether derivatives hydroxylation of diaryliodoniums.

A copper-catalysed hydroxylation of diaryliodoniums to generate phenols and diaryl ethers is reported. This method allows the synthesis of diversely functionalized phenols under mild reaction conditions without the need for a strong inorganic base or an expensive noble-metal catalyst. Significantly, convenient application of diaryliodoniums is demonstrated in the preparation of diaryl ethers in a one-pot operation.

Total phenolic, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity of bulbs, leaves, and flowers made from (Mill.) Urb.

In the current investigation, total phenols and flavonoids contents of (Mill.) Urb. bulbs, leaves, and flowers were quantified by Folin-Ciocalteu's and borohydride/chloroquinone methods, respectively.

Antifungal Agents: Design, Synthesis, Antifungal Activity and Molecular Docking of Phloroglucinol Derivatives.

Pseudoaspidinol is a phloroglucinol derivative with Antifungal activity and is a major active component of . In our previous work, we studied the total synthesis of pseudoaspidinol belonging to a phloroglucinol derivative and investigated its antifungal activity as well as its intermediates. However, the results showed these compounds have low antifungal activity.
