AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to develop a real-time quantitative PCR method to detect the β-actin gene in Psammosilene tunicoides, which can be used as a reference for analyzing other genes through qPCR.
- Specific primers were designed to amplify the β-actin gene, resulting in a 153 bp amplicon that showed high genetic similarity to β-actin from other plant species.
- The results indicated that β-actin is a stable reference gene across different tissues of Psammosilene tunicoides, making it suitable for researching genes related to triterpenoid saponin biosynthesis.
Article Abstract
Objective: To establish a real-time quantitative PCR method to detect Psammosilene tunicoides β-actin, and to provide a reference gene for the detection of Psammosilene tunicoides genes by q PCR.
Methods: Specific primers were designed based on the conserved region of the β-actin gene( Gen Bank) and were used to amplify β-actin by PCR. β-actin was also used as a reference gene in the q PCR analysis of glycosyltransferase gene( UGT) expression in the roots,stems,and leaves of Psammosilene tunicoides.
Results: The length of the β-actin gene amplicon from Psammosilene tunicoides was 153 bp and shared relatively high homology with β-actin found in Vaccaria segetalis, Myosoton aquaticum and Portulaca oleracea. Furthermore, UGT was revealed to be stably expressed in different Psammosilene tunicoides tissues when β-actin was employed as the reference gene.
Conclusion: β-actin is a reliable and suitable reference gene for studies on the expression of triterpenoid saponin biosynthesis-related genes in Psammosilene tunicoides.

Herein, five undescribed oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, namely, psammosaponins A-E, along with nine known compounds, were isolated from the roots of Psammosilene tunicoides. Moreover, part of the ethanolic extract of P. tunicoides was acid-hydrolyzed and three aglycones were isolated from the resulting hydrolysate.

Chitosan is illustrated in research as a stimulant of plant tolerance and resistance that promotes natural defense mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stressors, and its use may lessen the amount of agrochemicals utilized in agriculture. Recent literature reports indicate the high efficacy of soil or foliar usage of chitin and chitosan in the promotion of plant growth and the induction of secondary metabolites biosynthesis in various species, such as , , , , × , , , , , , , ssp. , , , , , and , among others.
