Six kinds of saponins (I, II, VII, PA, H) content of 22 samples of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis collected from different regions of Yunnan province were determined by HPLC, data was analyzed by SPSS 17. The results showed that the effect of altitude on saponin content was not significant, and the effect of growth area of saponins in P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was significant, saponin content in sample from west Yunnan was significantly higher than that of samples from other regions.

Paris yunnanensis, also named as Rhizoma Paridis in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, is a perennial Chinese medicinal herb commonly grown in Southwest China. However, several viruses have been found infecting this plant in recent years. Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and Sanger sequencing, this study obtained the complete genome sequences of three capillovirus isolates and one potyvirus isolate.

Article Synopsis
  • A herb, identified as a perennial, possesses notable medicinal benefits including anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties but faced challenges when leaf blight disease appeared in Xiangtan City, impacting approximately 22% of affected plants.
  • The disease symptoms began with water-soaked chlorosis in infected leaves, which progressed to dry yellow shrinkage spreading throughout the plants over a significant planting area of about 30,000 m².
  • Researchers identified the disease's causal organisms through a series of laboratory techniques, including surface sterilization, culture on specific agar plates, and molecular identification using gene amplification, with results being deposited in GenBank for further study.
