Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Analysis Reveals New Insights into Triterpene Biosynthesis in .

is highly regarded for its aesthetic and therapeutic qualities. In particular, 's flowers are known to produce essential oils containing a mixture of volatile terpenes, phenylpropanoids, and other compounds. Despite this, extensive research exists on volatile terpenes in flowers, while the knowledge of non-volatile terpenes in distinct tissues is still limited.

Molecular cloning and characterization of farnesyl diphosphate synthase from Thunb associated with salinity stress.

, a renowned ornamental plant, is cultivated for its essential oil containing valuable monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other compounds widely used in the floriculture industry. Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenes and triterpenes for abiotic or biotic stress. In this study, we successfully cloned and characterized a full-length FPPS- encoding cDNA identified as RrFPPS1 using RT-PCR from .

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Activities of Novel 2-Cyanoacrylate Compounds Containing Substituted Pyrazolyl or 1,2,3-Triazolyl Moiety.

To develop novel 2-cyanoacrylate derivatives with potential bioactivity, a number of 2-cyanoacrylate compounds, including substituted pyrazole or 1,2,3-triazole ring, were designed, prepared, and structurally detected by H NMR, C NMR, and elemental analysis. The biological assessment displayed that some designed compounds had significant herbicidal activities against , , , , and at a dosage of 1500 g/ha. Furthermore, some derivatives still expressed satisfactory herbicidal activities against , and when the dosage was lowered to 150 g/ha, especially the inhibitory effects of compounds , , , , , , , and against were all over 80%, compounds , , , , , , , , , and possessed more than 70% inhibition rates against , and compound indicated 70% herbicidal activity against .

Systematic Identification and Analysis of Gene Family of Thunb.

The oxidosqualene cyclase family of Rosa rugosa (RrOSC) provides a starting point for the triterpenoid pathway, which contributes to the medicinal value of the extraction of tissues of Rosa rugosa. However, the structure and function of key RrOSCs of active triterpenoids remain ambiguous. In this study, a total of 18 RrOSC members with conservative gene structures and motifs were identified based on the genome of Rosa rugosa.

Rotator cuff repair with biodegradable high-purity magnesium suture anchor in sheep model.

Background: Rotator cuff tear has become one of the diseases affecting people's living quality. Conventional anchor materials such as titanium alloy and poly-lactic acid can lead to postoperative complications like bone defects and aseptic inflammation. Magnesium (Mg)-based implants are biodegradable and biocompatible, with strong potential to be applied in orthopaedics.
