Objective: To investigate the resources and distribution of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) in rhizosphere of Coptis deltoidea.

Methods: The colonization situation of AMF of Coptis deltoidea were detected by acid fuchsin staining and then calculated the colonization rate. AMF fungal spores were obtained by Wet-screening method and then classified and identified by their morphological characteristics and histochemical staining method.

Results: Coptis deltoidea and AMF could engender the mycorrhiza. Colonization rates were different in different producing areas and ranged from 23. 3% to 34.4%. Thirty species of AMF belonging in 6 genera were found, including 17 species of the Acaulospora, 7 of the Glomus, 2 of the Gigaspora, 1 of the Entrophospora, 1 of the Paraglomus and 2 of the Archaeospora were isolated from rhizosphere of Coptis deltoidea. Acaulospora and Glomus were the dominant genera and the AMF species of genuine producing regions in Hongya county was the most diversiform among the six areas.

Conclusion: Coptis deltoidea is a kind of nutrition type of mycorrhiza plant. The rich diversity of AMF of Coptis deltoidea in producing areas make the AMF is a biological resource of significant application prospects in enlarging yield and non-pollution production.

Article Synopsis
  • Coptis deltoidea (CD) is traditionally used to treat heat-toxin-related conditions but requires processing with wine (PCD) to reduce its bitterness and gastrointestinal side effects.
  • The study compared the impacts of CD and PCD on the gastrointestinal system through various tests on mice, including ingredient analysis, inflammation markers, and gut microbiota changes.
  • Findings indicated that while CD caused significant gastrointestinal damage and inflammation, PCD showed milder effects and a different impact on gut microbiota composition, suggesting processing with wine improves CD's safety profile.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to improve the objectivity of taste evaluation for rhizome (CR) by linking its taste properties to alkaloid content, moving away from traditional subjective assessments.
  • Researchers used advanced techniques like UHPLC-QQQ-MS/MS and an electronic tongue to analyze ten alkaloids and eight tastes, identifying key compounds like jatrorrhizine and berberrubine that influence taste perceptions.
  • Findings highlight that bitterness correlates with specific alkaloids, suggesting that aftertaste and astringency are potential indicators for evaluating the quality of CR.
