Melatonin Affects Peucedanum praeruptorum Vegetative Growth and Coumarin Synthesis by Modulating the Antioxidant System, Photosynthesis, and Endogenous Hormones.

The dried root of Peucedanum praeruptorum is often used medicinally and has high pyran- and furanocoumarin content. Although exogenous melatonin (MT) impacts the regulation of plant growth, stress responses, secondary metabolism, etc., it remains unclear whether MT regulates the vegetative growth and development of P.

MYB transcription factors in Peucedanum Praeruptorum Dunn: the diverse roles of the R2R3-MYB subfamily in mediating coumarin biosynthesis.

Background: The MYB superfamily (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) plays a role in plant growth and development, environmental stress defense, and synthesis of secondary metabolites. Little is known about the regulatory function of MYB genes in Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, although many MYB family members, especially R2R3-MYB genes, have been extensively studied in model plants.

Results: A total of 157 R2R3-MYB transcription factors from P.

Establishment of callus induction and plantlet regeneration systems of Peucedanum Praeruptorum dunn based on the tissue culture method.

Background: Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn has typical stacked umbels and medicinal value; however, the lack of an effective tissue culture system for P. praeruptorum has limited the large-scale propagation of its seedlings.

Results: We systematically established an in vitro regeneration system for P.

Comparative metabolic profiling of the mycelium and fermentation broth of Penicillium restrictum from Peucedanum praeruptorum rhizosphere.

Microorganisms in the rhizosphere, particularly arbuscular mycorrhiza, have a broad symbiotic relationship with their host plants. One of the major fungi isolated from the rhizosphere of Peucedanum praeruptorum is Penicillium restrictum. The relationship between the metabolites of P.

Genome sequencing-based transcriptomic analysis reveals novel genes in Peucedanum praeruptorum.

Background: Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, contains coumarin and volatile oil components that have clinical application value. However, early bolting often occurs in the medicinal materials of Apiaceae plants. The rhizomes of the medicinal parts are gradually lignified after bolting, resulting in a sharp decrease in the content of coumarins.
