A simple and rapid method for determining emodin, an active factor presented in tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum), by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to a diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) has been developed. Emodin was separated from an extract of buckwheat on a Kromasil-ODS C(18) (250 mm × 4.6 mm × 5 μm) column. The separation is achieved within 15 min on the ODS column. Emodin can be quantified using an external standard method detecting at 436 nm. Good linearity is obtained with a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.9992. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification are 5.7 and 19 μg/L, respectively. This method shows good reproducibility for the quantification of the emodin with a relative standard deviation value of 4.3%. Under optimized extraction conditions, the recovery of emodin was calculated as >90%. The validated method is successfully applied to quantify the emodin in tartary buckwheat and its products.

Background: Chitinases (CHIs) are glycosidases that degrade chitin, playing critical roles in plant responses to both abiotic and biotic stress. Despite their importance, the CHI family's systematic analysis and evolutionary pattern in F. tataricum (Tartary buckwheat) yet to be explored.

Background: The β-glucosidases (BGLU) of glycoside hydrolase family 1 hydrolyze the glycosidic bond to release β-D-glucose and related ligands, which are widely involved in important physiological processes in plants. Genome-wide analysis of the BGLU genes in the model crops Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa revealed that they are functionally diverse. In contrast, the BGLU gene family in Tartary buckwheat remains unclear.

Tartary buckwheat is characterized by its numerous inflorescences; however, the uneven distribution of resources can lead to an overload in certain areas, significantly limiting plant productivity. Plant growth regulators effectively modulate plant growth and development. This study investigated the effects of three concentrations of brassinosteroids (EBR) on the Tartary buckwheat cultivar with high seed-setting rates, specifically Chuanqiao No.

Oxidative stress, which results from an overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), can cause damage that may contribute to a range of metabolic disorders. Antioxidants are considered to upregulate the activity of antioxidant enzymes, which are crucial for eliminating excess ROS and safeguarding the body against oxidative stress-induced damage. In the present study, the effect of polyphenol extracts from tartary buckwheat sprouts (TBSE) on the redox system of HepG2-cell-induced oxidative injury by hydrogen peroxide were investigated for evaluating the protective effect and mechanism of tartary buckwheat sprouts (TBS).

Unlabelled: Age-related alterations in immune function are believed to increase risk for a host of age-related diseases leading to premature death and disability. Programming of the immune system by diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors occurs across the lifespan and influences both makeup and function of the immune system, including immunometabolism. This programming is believed to act in large part through epigenetic modification.
