Expression of terpene synthase-related genes in parents and offspring of based on differences in volatile aroma components.

is one of the four major edible types of fungus in the world and has been cultivated in China since 800 CE (Anno Domini). Some of the most essential criteria for evaluating the quality of are the types and contents of volatile components present. A focused study on screened the terpene synthase genes involved in the aroma of offspring and compared key terpenoids between parents and offspring, which is helpful for the development and application of .

Arabidopsis mtHSC70-1 physically interacts with the Cox2 subunit of cytochrome oxidase.

The 70-kD heat shock proteins (HSP70s or HSC70s) function as molecular chaperones and are involved in diverse cellular processes. We recently demonstrated the roles of mitochondrial HSC70-1 (mtHSC70-1) in the establishment of cytochrome oxidase (COX)-dependent respiration and redox homeostasis in . Defects in COX assembly were observed in the knockout lines.

Arabidopsis mtHSC70-1 plays important roles in the establishment of COX-dependent respiration and redox homeostasis.

The 70 kDa heat shock proteins function as molecular chaperones and are involved in diverse cellular processes. However, the functions of the plant mitochondrial HSP70s (mtHSC70s) remain unclear. Severe growth defects were observed in the Arabidopsis thaliana mtHSC70-1 knockout lines, mthsc70-1a and mthsc70-1b.

Anti-inflammatory effect of the six compounds isolated from Nauclea officinalis Pierrc ex Pitard, and molecular mechanism of strictosamide via suppressing the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathway in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Nauclea officinalis Pierrc ex Pitard. is a Chinese medicinal herb that contains high level of alkaloids which is the most abundant and active constituent. Strictosamide isolated from Nauclea officinalis Pierrc ex Pitard.

Corydalis bungeana Turcz. attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory responses via the suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro and in vivo.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Corydalis bungeana Turcz. (C. bungeana) is one of traditionally used medicines in China and possesses various biological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial activity and inhibition of the immune function of the host.

[Study on UPLC Fingerprint of Corydalis bungeana].

Objective: To establish an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography fingerprint of Corydalis bungeana from different habitats.

Methods: UPLC-PDA was adopted to analysis ten batches of Corydalis bungeana from different habitats with Phenomenex Luna C₁₈ column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) eluted with the mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.

Nauclea officinalis inhibits inflammation in LPS-mediated RAW 264.7 macrophages by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Nauclea officinalis has been traditionally used in China for the treatment of fever, pneumonia and enteritidis etc. This study aims to investigate effects of N. officinalis on the inflammatory response as well as the possible molecular mechanism in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.
