The complete plastid genome of subsp. (Leguminosae): a medicinal plant in Southern China.

The subspecies subsp exhibits pharmacological properties akin to the traditional Chinese medicinal plant ( subsp (Hance) Verdc.). In this report, we unveil the plastid genome of subsp.

Comparative Analyses of the Chloroplast Genomes of Patchouli Plants and Their Relatives in (Lamiaceae).

[Identification of herba rabdosiae serrae from different plant resources by RAPD method].

Objective: To identify the different plant resources of Herba Rabdosiae Serrae by using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA ( RAPD ) Analysis.

Methods: The mini spin columns were used to extract the genomic DNA from five different plants of Herba Rabdosiae Serrae. With the DNA extracted from these plants as template,the 85 oligo nucleic acids (10 bp)as random primers,the polymer chain reaction (PCR) was done and the results were analysed by electro-pharoses.

[Researches and applications on pesticides from Chinese medicine plant origin].

The research progress on Chinese medicine plant resources with pesticide activities, the active components and their reaction mechanism as well as the application and prospect were reviewed in this paper. Some proposals on the exploitation of traditional Chinese medicine plant origin pesticide were given. It is suggested to found compounds with pesticide activities from heat clearing and toxic clearing medicinal plants.

[Studies on the cell growth, differentiation and terpene lactone accumulation in Ginkgo biloba cell suspension cultures].

To provide supports for Ginkgo biloba cell engineering for production of Terpene lactones (Ginkgolides and bilobalide), the cell suspension were established from calli induced from zygote embryos and stems of 30-day-old seedlings respectively. The relationship between cell growth, differentiation and the terpene lactone accumulation in these suspension cultures were investigated. HPLC determination indicated that, the ginkgolide B was found in the embryo derived cell suspension cultures at 0.
