Antimutagenic activity-guided fractionation of an extract prepared from the thorns of Gleditsia sinensis LAM. led to the isolation of one triterpenoid and four steroids, which were identified as D:C-friedours-7-en-3-one (1), stigmast-4-ene-3,6-dione (2), stigmastane-3,6-dione (3), stigmasterol (4), and beta-sitosterol (5). Triterpenoid 1 was found for the first time in a natural source and the steroids 2-5 were first isolated from this plant. Stigmasterol was the most active antimutagen, showing 51.2% and 64.2% reduction of the induction factor against the mutagens MNNG and NQO, respectively, in the SOS chromotest. Some NMR data of the steroids 2 and 3 obtained have to be revised.

Many studies have shown that multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) is a new secondary transporter family that plays a key role in secondary metabolite transport, the transport of plant hormones and disease resistance in plants. However, detailed information on this family in Gleditsia sinensis has not yet been reported. In the present study, a total of 45 GsMATE protein members were identified and analysed in detail, including with gene classification, phylogenetic evaluation and conserved motif determination.

, commonly known as Chinese Zaojiao, has important economic value and medicinal compounds in its fruits and thorns, making it widely cultivated artificially in China. However, the available literature on the impact of waterlogging on the growth of seedlings and the accumulation of metabolite compounds in its thorns is limited. To address this knowledge gap, seedlings were planted in soil supplemented with pindstrup substrate, which enhances the water-holding capacity of the soil.

thorn (called "zào jiǎo cì", ZJC) has important medicinal and economic value, however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms behind the development of ZJC. In this study, we measured the content of soluble sugar and starch during the growth and development of the thorn, and performed transcriptome sequencing of the thorn segment, non-thorn segment, apex, and root tip at five distinct stages of thorn formation. The results showed that, with the growth of ZJC, the soluble sugar content of the roots, hypocotyls, thorn stems, thornless stems, leaves, and the starch content of the roots and leaves all firstly increased and then decreased after the basic structure of thorns was formed; the soluble sugar content and starch content of ZJC showed an overall downward trend (decreased by 59.
