Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. is a commonly used Chinese herb and food homologous plant with traditional effects such as anti-inflammatory, antifebrile, antibacterial and antiviral.

Aim Of Study: Photoaging is one of the main causes of accelerated skin aging. Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. has reported to alleviate photodamage. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of the extract of buds of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. (CE) on UVB-induced photoaging and further mechanism.

Materials And Methods: The extract of buds of chrysanthemum was analyzed by HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH and ABTS assay. Cell viability examined by cell counting kit-8 assay. The ROS level was detected by fluorescent probe DCFH-DA. Protein expression evaluated by Western blotting. The skin tissue investigated by immunohistochemistry.

Results: CE significantly reversed the decrease of cell viability that induced by UVB in HaCaT and HFF-1 cells. Further analysis showed that CE alleviated photoaging by inhibiting the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and activating the NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway to promote the expression of antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, CE effectively improved the reduced skin hydration, disordered collagen and thickening epidermis caused by UVB in mice.

Conclusions: All results demonstrated that CE had therapeutic effect on UVB-induced photoaging and provided theoretical basis for its further developing as a natural functional product with anti-photoaging effect.

Background/objectives: Chrysanthemum (), a key ornamental and medicinal plant, presents challenges in cultivar identification due to high phenotypic similarity and environmental influences. This study assessed the genetic diversity and discrimination of 126 spray-type chrysanthemum cultivars.

Methods: About twenty-three simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were screened for the discrimination of 126 cultivars, among which six SSR markers showed polymorphic fragments.

FLOWERING LOCUS C-like mediates low-ambient-temperature-induced late flowering in chrysanthemum.

The flowering time of Chrysanthemum morifolium predominantly depends on day length but is also sensitive to ambient temperature. However, the mechanisms underlying the response of chrysanthemum to ambient temperature are mainly unknown. This study identified a MADS-box transcription factor called CmFLC-like, a representative low ambient temperature-responsive factor induced in chrysanthemum leaves and shoot apical meristems at 15°C.

The dried capitulum of chrysanthemums is a traditional material in scented tea, and the kill-green process is a critical step in determining their quality. However, the changes in the physicochemical properties during kill-green and the mechanisms by which these changes affect drying characteristics, metabolic components, and aroma profiles remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the changes in water status, polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities, and microstructure during high-humidity air impingement kill-green (HHAIK) and steam kill-green (SK), and their effects on drying behavior, color, phytochemicals, and volatile profile of dried chrysanthemums.
