Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge, also known as Tu-Mu-Gua and Wen-Dan-Ge-Zi, has several applications. Clinical data and experimental studies have shown anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-oxidant properties of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge that inhibits prostate hyperplasia, lowers blood pressure and lipid level, and treats enuresis and urinary incontinence. It also has neuroprotective effects and can treat Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's syndrome. The research on the chemical composition and pharmacological effects of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge has been increasing. Triterpenoid and triterpenoid saponins are the main constituents in Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge and exhibit biological activities. In this review, we summarized the research progress on triterpenoids and their glycosides in Xanthoceras sorbifolia, including the chemical constituents, pharmacological activities, and biogenic pathways of triterpenoid mother nucleus. The results would provide a reference for further research and development of triterpenoids and their glycosides in Xanthoceras sorbifolia.

In order to elucidate the dynamic changes of quality characteristics in Xanthoceras sorbifolium leaf tea (XLT), this work investigated the chemical components, volatile profile, and antioxidant properties at key stages of fixation, shaping, and drying. The process of fixation and drying emerged as critical stages that affected the chemical components and taste of XLT. Total polyphenols, reducing sugars and chlorophyll were the differential compounds, which decreased by 29.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers identified 59 CBF gene family members in five yellowhorn cultivars, with 8 core genes common across them, showing structural diversity and evolutionary adaptations.
- * A specific gene was found to significantly improve cold tolerance in transgenic yellowhorn plants, enhancing antioxidant activity and reducing damage compared to wild-type plants under low-temperature stress.

Graphene can promote plant growth and improve soil conditions, but its effectiveness in enhancing infertile soils in arid regions remains unclear. This study selected three typical shrubs from the Ulan Buh Desert , , and as research subjects. Five graphene addition levels were set: 0 mg/L (C0), 25 mg/L (C1), 50 mg/L (C2), 100 mg/L (C3), and 200 mg/L (C4).

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the differences in flower development between single and double flowers in yellowhorn (Xanthoceras sorbifolium), focusing on gene expression and regulatory networks.
- It uses transcriptome analysis and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to identify key genes involved in hormone signaling and floral development, specifically highlighting the ABC(D)E model genes.
- The findings enhance the understanding of floral structure regulation in yellowhorn and can inform research on flower development in other woody plants.
