Article Synopsis
- * The paper introduces ion-imprinted polymer preparation, emphasizing how template ions interact with functional monomers, and reviews the current research on heavy metals like Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II), Hg(II), Pb(II), Cr(VI), and metalloid ions As and Sb.
- * Additionally, it highlights recent developments in multi-ion-imprinted polymers and discusses the challenges and future potential of ion-imprinting technology for heavy metal removal.
, the dried petal of safflower ( L.) has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, in which quinochalcone glucosides such as hydrosafflower yellow A (HSYA), carthamin are uniquely present and have been identified as active compounds. In the present study, through sequencing of a safflower floret cDNA library and subsequent microarray analysis, we found 23 unigenes (5 , 1 , 5 , 6 , 2 , 2 , 2 ) involved in flavonoid pathway, of which 4 were up-regulated differentially during quinochalcone glucosides accumulation with the floret developing stage.

- Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites in safflower, contributing to plant growth and human health, yet research on the biosynthetic genes, particularly for quinochalcones, is limited.
- A gene called CtF3H was isolated and confirmed to relate to flavonoid production, showing high similarity to F3H genes in other plants and was found in both the nucleus and cytosol of cells.
- Transcriptome analysis revealed differing expression patterns of CtF3H between two safflower types under methyl jasmonate treatment, with an increase in specific flavonoids in quinochalcone-type safflower and different accumulation patterns in flavonol-type safflower.
