Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which malfunctioning of the electrical activity of the brain causes recurrent, unprovoked seizures. Epilepsy causes wide symptoms that include cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, behavioral alterations, and histological impairments. In this study, the effect of Hippophae rhamnoides (Sea buckthorn/Sbt) on electrophysiology, behavior, and histology in iron-induced epilepsy was analyzed. Rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 8); Control group, Epileptic group, Sbt treated epileptic group, and Sbt treated group. To induce epilepsy, the intracortical iron injection was administered at a dose of 5 μl of 100 mM FeCl. A significant increase in epileptiform activity, behavioral abnormalities, and histological impairments was observed in the iron-induced epileptic rats. Hippophae rhamnoides berry extract was administered orally at a dose of 1 ml/kg body wt. for one month. Sbt administration significantly reduced the epileptiform activity, improved behavioral abnormalities, and improved histological impairments in epileptic rats. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the antiepileptic effect of Sbt that probably has exerted by its neuroprotective and behavioral alteration potential against iron-induced epilepsy.

Hippophae gyantsensis is a dioecious plant endemic to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is significant for ecological restoration and sand stabilization. Its fruit is rich in bioactive compounds that offer economic potential. However, the inability to distinguish sexes before flowering and prolonged maturation hinder breeding and cultivation.

Understanding the response of roots to drought stress is essential for promoting the development of varieties. One-year-old Yulu was utilized as the experimental material, and three water gradients were established: control (CK), moderate (T1) and severe (T2), over a period of 120 days.

Article Synopsis
- The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor family plays a crucial role in plant growth and stress responses, but studies on this family in sea buckthorn are limited.
- The research identified 144 bHLH genes in sea buckthorn using genome-wide methods and analyzed their sequences and properties.
- The study classified these genes, revealing that 122 had high expression levels in various tissues, especially during fruit development, and validated the findings with QPCR, paving the way for further research on their functions.
