The genus Lonicera L. is widely distributed in the north temperate zone and is well-known for its high species richness and morphological diversity. Previous studies have suggested that many sections of Lonicera are not monophyletic and phylogenetic relationships within the genus are still poorly resolved.

Arecaceae is a species-rich clade of Arecales, while also being regarded as a morphologically diverse angiosperm family with numerous species having significant economic, medicinal, and ornamental value. Although in-depth studies focused on the chloroplast structure of Arecaceae, as well as inferring phylogenetic relationships using gene fragments, have been reported in recent years, a comprehensive analysis of the chloroplast structure of Arecaceae is still needed. Here we perform a comprehensive analysis of the structural features of the chloroplast genome of Arecaceae, compare the variability of gene sequences, infer phylogenetic relationships, estimate species divergence times, and reconstruct ancestral morphological traits.

Background And Aims: Abelia (Caprifoliaceae) is a small genus with five species, including one artificial hybrid and several natural hybrids. The genus has a discontinuous distribution in Mainland China, Taiwan Island and the Ryukyu Islands, providing a model system to explore the mechanisms of species dispersal in the East Asian flora. However, the current phylogenetic relationships within Abelia remain uncertain.

Objective: Synthesis and identification of complete antigen of rutin, the traditional Chinese medicine active ingredient, and develop rapid detection of rutin using enzyme-linked immunoassay method (ELISA). Immunogenicity of the complete antigen was also studied.

Method: Prepare the complete antigen by sodium periodate solution and identified by UV scanning and SDS-PAGE test.
