In the present paper the effects of different digestion methods on determining the amount of metal elements in the plant platycodon grandi florum (Jacq.) A. DC. by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry(FAAS) are reported. FAAS method was established for the determination of K, Mg, Ca, Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cd and Cr and Pb in the plant platycodon grandi florum (Jacq.) A. DC. The samples were incinerated and followed by digestion with HNO3-HClO (phi, 4 : 1) at 90-95 degrees C and normal pressure. In the meantime, the optimum parameters of FAAS and effects of solution medium on the results were discussed. The analytical results of K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn were 13 226.32, 922.57, 1 710.72, 9.23, 336.66, 8.75 and 19.62 microg x g(-1) respectively, while Co, Ni, Cd, Cr and Pb were not checked out in the samples. The results showed that the recovery of standard addition was 95.45Y-105.50% and the relative standard deviation (n = 9) was 0.34%-5.78%. The method is quick, simple and convenient, and the results are satisfactory.

In recent years, it was found that lysine malonylation modification can affect biological metabolism and play an important role in plant life activities. Platycodon grandiflorus, an economic crop and medicinal plant, had no reports on malonylation in the related literature. This study qualitatively introduces lysine malonylation in P.

We investigated the textural characteristics of plant-based meat alternatives based on root vegetables, including , , , and . The samples with root vegetables had significantly higher moisture contents than those without because of the water retention capacity of dietary fiber contained in root vegetables. Heating affects the structures and interactions of the plant-based proteins and other ingredients.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a key traditional Chinese medicinal herb known for its medicinal components, particularly triterpenoids, and highlights the role of Oxido squalene cyclase (OSC) in their synthesis.
- Researchers identified 15 OSC genes in the herb's genome through homology comparisons, revealing they are clustered unevenly across five chromosomes.
- A phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze these genes’ evolutionary relationships, and expression studies showed that OSC genes were more active in roots and significantly induced by salt stress.
Effects of Platycodon grandiflorum seeds exposure to static magnetic field on germination and early seedling growth.

School of Biological and Food Engineering, Hefei Normal University, Hefei, Anhui, People's Republic of China.
Effects of non-uniform upward (north) and downward (south) 300 mT static magnetic field (SMF) 14 days (24 h/day) treatment of Platycodon grandiflorum seeds on germination, seedling growth, enzyme activities, malondialdehyde (MDA) level and seedling chlorophyll content were investigated under laboratory conditions. Germination rate, index and potential from magnetically exposed Anhui and Hebei Platycodon grandiflorum seeds were significantly not affected (p > 0.05), however, the values of these germination variables were notably higher in Anhui Platycodon grandiflorum seeds than Hebei seeds.

Article Synopsis
- Lobelia seguinii is a valuable plant known for its medicinal properties, particularly its compound lobeline, which helps treat respiratory issues.
- Research confirms two whole-genome duplications (WGDs) in the Campanulaceae family and provides insights into karyotype evolution.
- The study identifies key enzymes in lobeline biosynthesis, notably phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), and validates its role in the initial step of this process.
