Limited application in protecting lung health is attributed to the low levels of active compounds in lily plant bulbs. This study focused on enhancing the active compounds by fermenting Lilium davidii (Lanzhou Lily) bulbs with Limosilactobacillus fermentum GR-3, isolated from Jiangshui. Lily fermented bulbs with strain GR-3 (LFB+GR-3) increased the bioavailability of hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 22-tetrahydroxy-5alpha-cholestan-6-one-3-O-beta-d-allopyranoside, 22-O-(6-deoxy-Alpha-l-mannopyranosyl)-3-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-pregn-5-en-20-one, 1-O-trans-feruloylglycerol, and 3,4 dihydroxybenzoic acid. LFB+GR-3 fraction was employed to treat the mice model exposed to the carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the deposition of CBNPs and damages in lung tissues were limited in the LFB+GR-3 treatment group, while TNF-α, IL-10, and IL-6 were elevated by 6.9, 4.3, and 7 folds in the CBNP exposure group. In addition, Lactobacillus, Escherichia, Lactococcus, and Muribacter were dominant in the lung microbiota of LFB+GR-3 than the CBNP group. The use of probiotic fermented lily bulbs might be helpful in lung infection treatment.

State Key Laboratory of Herbage Improvement and Grassland Agro-Ecosystems, College of Ecology, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, Gansu, China.

Abscisic acid (ABA) mediated stomatal closure is a highly effective mode of active stomatal regulation under drought stress. Previous studies on stomatal regulation have primarily focused on the leaves of vascular plants, while research on the stomatal behavior of bulbous plants remains unknown. In addition, ABA-induced stomatal regulation in bulbs has yet to be explored.

Article Synopsis
  • Lily bulb rot disease has caused significant yield losses in edible lilies in China, necessitating a combination of morphological and molecular methods for diagnosis.
  • During the study, a specific strain causing rot was isolated from affected bulbs in Lanzhou, confirming its pathogenicity with 100% effectiveness in causing rot symptoms.
  • The pathogen was identified based on its distinct morphological features and genetic analysis, marking the first documented case of this disease affecting edible lilies in China and offering insights for developing better control strategies.
