[Effects of Act12 on root morphogenesis and medicinal quality of ].

As a kind of tonic Chinese medicine with dual use in medicine and food, there is a large market demanding for . Taking one-year-old seedlings as materials, we conducted a field experiment to examine the effect of compound fertilizer (750 kg·hm), organic fertilizer (15 t·hm) and Act12 agent (9 t·hm Act12+10 t·hm organic fertilizer) treatments on root morphology, secondary metabolite content and expression level of lobetyolin metabolic pathway gene of , to clarify the effects of three fertilizers on the root morphology and medicinal quality. Compared to the control (10 t·hm organic fertilizer, conventional fertilization), three fertilization treatments could promote root growth and formation.

Novel harmine derivatives as potent acetylcholinesterase and amyloid beta aggregation dual inhibitors for management of Alzheimer's disease.

In this study, a series of potential ligands for the treatment of AD were synthesised and characterised as novel harmine derivatives modified at position 9 with benzyl piperazinyl. In studies revealed that the majority of the derivatives exhibited moderate to potent inhibition against AChE and A aggregation. Notably, compounds and displayed potent drug - likeness and ADMET properties, demonstrating remarkable inhibitory activities towards AChE (IC = 58.

Modules in robust but low-efficiency phyllosphere fungal networks drive saponin accumulation in leaves of different Panax species.

Background: The phyllosphere mycobiome plays a crucial role in plant fitness and ecosystem functions. The complex microbial ecological networks (MEN) formed by these fungi remain poorly understood, particularly with regard to their organization strategy and their contributions to plant secondary metabolites such as saponin.

Results: In this study, we constructed six MENs from leaf epiphytic and endophytic mycobiomes of three Panax species distributed in the northeast and southwest ends of mainland China.

Comprehensive analysis of NAC transcription factors in Scutellaria baicalensis and their response to exogenous ABA and GA.

The NAC is a plant-specific family of transcription factor that plays important roles in various biological processes. Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, belongs to the Lamiaceae family and has been widely used as a traditional herb with a wide range of pharmacological activities, including antitumor, heat-clearing, and detoxifying functions. However, no study on the NAC family in S.

Dynamic analysis of physiological indices and transcriptome profiling revealing the mechanisms of the allelopathic effects of phenolic acids on .

(Thunb.) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine with high medicinal value, but its culture is strongly hindered by the continuous cropping obstacles (CCO) which are tightly associated with allelopathic effects. Deciphering the response mechanisms of to allelochemicals is critical for overcoming the CCO.

Transcriptome and HPLC Analysis Reveal the Regulatory Mechanisms of Aurantio-Obtusin in Space Environment-Induced Lines.

is a famous medicinal plant that is widely used in Asian countries. Its seed plays an important role in the treatment of many diseases because it contains various anthraquinones and flavonoids. Our previous studies have indicated that three space environment-induced lines (SP-lines) i.

Nitrate Increases Cadmium Accumulation in Sweet Sorghum for Improving Phytoextraction Efficiency Rather Than Ammonium.

Sweet sorghum has potential for phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd) owning to its large biomass and relatively high Cd tolerance. Nitrogen affects both growth and Cd concentrations in plants. However, different forms of nitrogen effects on Cd accumulation in sweet sorghum to improve efficiency of Cd phytoremediation is still elusive.

Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit: A review of its germplasm resources, genetic diversity and active components.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The medicinal plant Pinellia ternata has been widely used in China, Korea, and Japan and has been demonstrated to be highly effective for treating cough, vomiting, infection, and inflammatory diseases. Modern pharmacological investigations have demonstrated its multiple activities, such as antitussive, expectorant, antiemetic, antitumor, antibacterial, and sedative-hypnotic activities.

Aim Of The Review: This review aims to summarize the information about the biological traits, genetic diversity, active components, and continuous cropping obstacle of P.

SmGRAS1 and SmGRAS2 Regulate the Biosynthesis of Tanshinones and Phenolic Acids in .

is one of the most widely used traditional Chinese medicinal plants because of its excellent performance in treating heart diseases. Tanshinones and phenolic acids are two important classes of effective metabolites, and their biosynthesis has attracted widespread interest. Here, we functionally characterized SmGRAS1 and SmGRAS2, two GRAS family transcription factors from .

Physiological, transcriptional, and metabolic alterations in spaceflight-subjected Senna obtusifolia.

Senna obtusifolia is a widely used medicinal herb in Asian countries. To select elite cultivars, S. obtusifolia seeds were carried by "ShenZhou Ⅷ" recoverable satellite to space.

Remediation of deterioration in microbial structure in continuous Pinellia ternata cropping soil by crop rotation.

Pinellia ternata is a traditional Chinese herb that suffers from continuous cropping (CC), which significantly decreases both yield and quality. The influence of CC on the microbiome in P. ternata rhizosphere and the effects of remediation on microbiota by rotational cropping (CR) were assessed by Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology.

Identification of seeds based on molecular markers and secondary metabolites in Senna obtusifolia and Senna occidentalis.

Background: Senna obtusifolia and Senna occidentalis (Leguminosae), whose seeds have similar appearance and chemical constituents, are easily confused in using their seeds. To elucidate the similarities and differences between S. obtusifolia seeds and S.

Spaceflight-induced variation on biological traits and effective components of Cassia obtusifolia.

The dry seeds of Cassia obtusifolia were carried by the "ShenZhou 8" satellite and sowed after landing. Based on our pri- or study on SP1, the characteristics of plants growth, physiological index and content of effective components were examined. The results showed that the QC10, QC29 strains matured 5 d earlier compared with control.
