Global metabolic profile and multiple phytometabolites in the different varieties of Blume.

Blume (Tianma in Chinese), a myco-heterotrophic orchid, is widely distributed in China. Tubers derived from this orchid are traditionally used as both medicinal and edible materials. At present, five primary varieties of are recorded in the "Flora of China.

[Effects of mycorrhizal planting on small molecular chemical components of Dendrobium officinale].

This study aimed to provide a scientific basis for the application of the mycorrhizal planting technology of Dendrobium officinale by investigating the effects of mycorrhizal planting on the fingerprints of D. officinale and the content of six chemical components. Seventeen samples of D.

Polyethylenimine-protected green-emission copper nanoclusters as highly effective fluorescent and colorimetric nanoprobe for selective cobalt ions and temperature sensing.

Excessive uptake of Co is harmful to one's physical health and should not be ignored. Herein, a polyethylenimine (PEI) protected hydrophilic copper nanoclusters (PEI-CuNCs) with strong green fluorescence emission around 510 nm was apace synthesized employing a one-pot method without hyperthermia. Interestingly, the as-prepared water-soluble PEI-CuNCs can be specifically quenched by Co at pH 6.

Evolutionary differences in gene loss and pseudogenization among mycoheterotrophic orchids in the tribe Vanilleae (subfamily Vanilloideae).

Introduction: is a mycoheterotrophic orchid belonging to the tribe Vanilleae within the subfamily Vanilloideae.

Methods: In this study, the plastome was assembled and annotated, and compared with other Vanilleae orchids, revealing the evolutionary variations between the photoautotrophic and mycoheterotrophic plastomes.

Results: The plastome was found to include 32 protein-coding genes, 16 tRNA genes and four ribosomal RNA genes, including 11 pseudogenes.

Utilization of functional agro-waste residues for oyster mushroom production: Nutritions and active ingredients in healthcare.

A large amount of agro-industrial residues are produced from the planting, production and processing of traditional Chinese herbs. As a tonic, edible, and economical herb, root has been extensively developed into medicine and functional food. However, thousands of tons of aerial parts (stems, leaves, flowers and fruits) have been directly discarded after harvest each year.

Identification of Genes Involved in Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Sophora japonica Through Transcriptome Sequencing.

Sophora japonica is a traditional Chinese medicinal ingredient that is widely used in the medicine, food, and industrial dye industries. Since flavonoids are the main components of S. japonica, studying the flavonoid composition and content of this plant is important.
