Objective: To study the correlation of Pinellia ternata agglutinin (PTA) and toxicity of P. ternata raphides and to find out the toxic mechanism of P. ternata.
Method: PTA has obvious effect of pro-inflammation. The model of rats peritonitis was used to study the dose-toxicity and time-toxicity relationship of the effect by detecting the releases of inflammatory mediators PGE2 in the exudates. The model of Draize rabbit eye test was applied to determine the correlation of PTA and toxicity of raphides by pathological examination.
Result: PTA enhanced the content of PGE2 and protein in rats peritoneal cavities concentration dependently. With PTA concentration increased, PTA enhanced the inflammation induced by raphides to rabbit eyes, but PTA alone had no toxicity response.
Conclusion: PTA had obvious effect of pro-inflammation. The toxic mechanism of P. ternata was PTA induced inflammation only when the raphides pierce into the organization.

: Xi Junecry (), a perennial herb of the Araceae family, is indigenous to Xinxian County, Henan Province, China, and is regarded as a premium variety among similar medicinal materials. However, the lack of comprehensive genetic information on Xi Junecry germplasm resources has constrained the cultivation and identification of high-quality varieties. : In this study, six chloroplast genomes of Xi Junecry were assembled and annotated using high-throughput sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- Plant-derived nanovesicles (PDNVs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are gaining attention for their unique properties and potential use in medicine, particularly from the plant Pinellia ternata, which has notable pharmacological benefits.
- The study utilized a Temporary Immersion Bioreactor System (TIBS) to improve the consistency and yield of PDNVs and EVs, with effective isolation techniques like ultra-high-speed differential centrifugation.
- Metabolomics analysis identified 1,072 metabolites in PDNVs and EVs, revealing key metabolic differences between them and highlighting the reliability of TIBS in producing these vesicles for potential nanodrug development.

Pinellia ternata, a widely distributed species in China, has been used as a herbal medicine for centuries, with the effects of drying dampness and resolving phlegm. However, its complex ploidy and lack of whole-genome map limit in-depth research on molecular-assisted breeding and multi-omics. In this study, flow cytometry was employed to evaluate the genome sizes of 144 P.

Article Synopsis
- Passion fruit, an economically significant crop in Guangxi, China, experienced a blossom blight epidemic in September 2022, affecting about 30% of plants in a 2.5 ha area.
- The disease resulted in initial water-soaked spots on flowers that progressed to wet rot, characterized by white mycelia and dark sporangia.
- Three fungal isolates linked to the illness were identified as Choanephora cucurbitarum based on their morphological features and genetic sequencing, confirming the fungus's identity through a high degree of similarity in ribosomal DNA sequences.
