(HC) is a widely distributed plant in Asia and is used extensively for both food and medicinal purposes. A preliminary investigation found that HC is often bleached with sodium metabisulfite solution during its field processing, leading to health risks. In this study, the effects of sodium metabisulfite on the quality of HC were comprehensively evaluated using volatile and non-volatile targeted metabolomic methods.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how used fungus-growing materials from cultivating Gastrodia elata can be efficiently recycled by the fungus Phallus impudicus, focusing on its ability to degrade components like cellulose and lignin.
  • Researchers compared the enzymatic activities of Phallus impudicus and Armillaria mellea, finding that while A. mellea excels in cellulase production, P. impudicus demonstrates superior activity in degrading lignin-related compounds.
  • Allelopathic effects of A. mellea on P. impudicus and other edible fungi were observed, with some fungi, like Lentinula edodes and Auricularia auricula, showing resilience to these effects, suggesting

Due to the special biological characteristics, Gastrodia elata suffers from high resource consumption and low utilization rate in modern agricultural production, which significantly block the green and healthy development of this industry. Based on the theory and technology in ecological cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials, this study analyzed the challenges in ecological cultivation of G. elata, such as waste of fungus material, a few cultivation modes available, continuous cropping obstacles, frequent occurrence of diseases, and poor stability of ecological structure.

The present study aimed to explore the mechanism of the sweating of Dipsacus asper on content changes of triterpene sa-ponins by detecting the total triterpene saponins and the index component asperosaponin Ⅵ in the crude and sweated D. asper, and analyzing the differentially expressed proteins by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification(iTRAQ) combined with LC-MS/MS. After sweating, the content of total triterpene saponins decreased manifestly, while that of asperosaponin Ⅵ increased significantly.

In order to understand the pollution of heavy metals in Guizhou soil planting Eucommia ulmoides,the paper has determined the contents of five heavy metals respectively( Cu,Cd,Pb,Hg and As) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The soil environmental quality by single factor pollution index was evaluated,nemerow integrated pollution index and potential ecological risk index,the correlation of 5 heavy metals was analyzed and the relationship between heavy medals content and p H value was discussed. The results showed that: ①The soils of LP,SB and ZA-2 had low heavy metals content,LP soil met the first national standard,and other soils met the second national standard; ②The soils of LP,ZA-1 and ZA-2 were all in a clean state,while HX and BZ-1 were in a light pollution state,and the pollution degree was Cu>Pb>As>Cd>Hg; ③The soil of BZ-2 was light warning( medium ecological risk),the soils of HX,BZ-1 and MT were early warning( low ecological risk),the main warning source was Cu and Pb,and the rest were no warning( no ecological risk); ④Cd and As were positively correlated with Pb and Hg,and Cd,Pb and As were positively correlated with p H.

  • - The research focused on analyzing the appearance characteristics and quality of Dipsaci Radix samples from various markets to update its commodity specifications and grading standards based on production practices.
  • - Results showed that longer and thicker roots with a specific fracture surface quality were preferred, but most samples in the market lacked proper grading.
  • - While some relationships were found between moisture content and extract yield, there was no significant correlation between physical appearance and intrinsic quality; ultimately, the study aimed to standardize trade practices for Dipsaci Radix.

This paper is aimed to study the potential ecological suitability regionalization of Pseudostellaria heterophylla for selecting GAP planting base location and designing rational production layout. The ecological factors and contribution rate were determined by using maximum entropy (Maxent) model. Then, the information entropy theory was used to determine the relative importance of each environmental factor, and thus to determine the most limiting habitat criteria.
