Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Novel Insights about the Biocontrol Potential of CF3 on .

Root rot caused by spp. is the most destructive disease on , one of the large bulks and most common traditional herbal plants in China. In this study, we isolated a bacterial strain, CF3, from the rhizosphere soil of and determined its inhibitory effects on in both in vitro and in vivo conditions.

First Report of Pectobacterium aroidearum Causing Soft Rot of Pinellia ternata in China.

Pinelliae rhizoma is the dried tuber of Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit., and has been used for thousand of years in traditional Chinese medicine as an antivomit, anticough, and analgesic (Ying et al.

Evolutionary history of genus and its dynamic changes in the potential suitable distribution area.

The genus belongs to the Ranunculaceae family, containing 15 recognized species highly diverse in morphology. It is a conspicuous taxon with special evolutionary position, distribution pattern and medicinal value, which makes it to be of great research and conservation significance. In order to better understand the evolutionary dynamics of and promote more practical conservation measures, we performed plastome sequencing and used the sequencing data in combination with worldwide occurrence data of to estimate genetic diversity and divergence times, rebuild biogeographic history and predict its potential suitable distribution area.

Biological control and plant growth promotion properties of St-220 isolated from rhizosphere.

Root rot disease caused by is a devastating disease of and dramatically affected the production and quality of . Besides the agricultural and chemical control, biocontrol agents can be utilized as an additional solution. In the present study, an actinomycete that highly inhibited was isolated from rhizosphere soil and identified as based on morphological and molecular characteristics.

[Research strategies for endophytes in medicinal plants based on high-throughput sequencing and traditional culture and isolation methods].

The research on endophytes of medicinal plants mainly relies on the traditional culture and isolation methods. Because of their functions such as promoting host growth, improving stress resistance, promoting the accumulation of medicinal active ingredients or directly producing medicinal active ingredients, the endophytes of medicinal plants have gradually attracted wide attention. However, it was found that the strains isolated by traditional methods were not the true dominant endophytes of medicinal plants by comparing the results of traditional culture isolation with high-throughput sequencing.

[Progress in studies and control strategies for diseases of Coptis chinensis].

Coptis chinensis is one of bulk traditional herbal medicines in China. In recent years, the occurrence of various diseases has caused great yield loss and quality reduction of C. chinensis, which has become an important threat of herbal medicine industry.

Proteome-wide analyses reveal diverse functions of acetylation proteins in Neurospora crassa.

Quantitative acetyl-proteomics, a newly identified post-translational modification, is known to regulate transcriptional activity in different organisms. Neurospora crassa is a model ascomycete fungus maintained for biochemistry and molecular biology research; however, extensive studies of the functions of its acylation proteins have yet to be performed. In this study, using LC-MS/MS qualitative proteomics strategies, we identified 1909 modification sites on 940 proteins in N.

Complete chloroplast genome of Rolfe, a famous ornamental plant and traditional medicinal herb.

is a species of beauty-berry with large medicinal value belonging to the family Verbenaceae. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq X Ten platform. The chloroplast genome was 1,54,210 bp in length, containing two short inverted repeat (IRa and IRb) regions of 25,701 bp, which was separated by a large single copy (LSC) region of 84,938 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 17,870 bp.

[Research progress in effects of interspecific interaction on medicinal plants in intercropping system].

Intercropping farming system is one of the essence of traditional agriculture in China and one of the most common and basic patterns of modern ecological planting. Intercropping system uses the principle of species diversity to create reasonable interspecific interaction conditions with obvious productivity advantages. In this paper, the interspecies interaction is divided into aboveground and underground parts from the space view, and its influence and mechanism on the yield and secondary metabolites of medicinal plants are elaborated.
