The inheritance of the white-flower and its influence to related characters in eggplant were studied with the white-flowered mutant of XIANLVQIE and its maternal bred. Result showed that the flower color was attributed to a couple of complete dominance genes. Purple color flower "Col" was dominant to the white "col". Compared with the purple-flowered strain, the white-flowered strain not only grew more blooming, but also had more stamens in one flower, less pollens in one anther and less seeds in one fruit. In the meanwhile, in white-flowered eggplants, microspore and fruit was bigger, and yield was higher than purple-flowered. The white-flowered strain could be used as a variety and the white-flowered character could be used as a marker to appraise purity of hybrid in eggplant.

This study was aimed to extract bioactive peptides from the white and purple flower varieties of Orthosiphon aristatus leaves. The herb is well known for its pharmacological importance, possibly attributed to its plant proteins. Phenol based extraction was used to extract plant proteins, and then hydrolysed by proteolytic enzymes such as trypsin (serine protease) and pepsin (aspartic protease).

is native to South America and is cultivated worldwide mostly for its medicinal benefits. The plant is used traditionally in respiratory disorders such as dry cough, in the treatment of fever and stomach pain, and as an antimicrobial and analgesic. The antisickling and antioxidant effects of the flowers of (Kunth) Dugand (red) and cultivar alba (white) were compared using an assay in 2% sodium metabisulfite sickling induction model, DPPH, and metal chelation assays.
