[Identification and expression profiling of Dof transcription factor family in Aesculus chinensis].

Aesculus chinensis is an important medicinal and horticultural plant. Its dried mature seeds, known as "Suoluozi", are a well-known traditional Chinese medicine. Aescins are its main active components, possessing multiple pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory and anti-exudative effects.

[Simultaneous determination of seven artemisinin-related compounds in Artemisia annua by UPLC-QQQ-MS/MS].

A variety of compounds in Artemisia annua were simultaneously determined to evaluate the quality of A. annua from multiple perspectives. A method based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-QQQ-MS/MS) was established for the simultaneous determination of seven compounds: amorpha-4,11-diene, artemisinic aldehyde, dihydroartemisinic acid, artemisinic acid, artemisinin B, artemisitene, and artemisinin, in A.

Integration of the metabolome and transcriptome reveals indigo biosynthesis in flowers under freezing treatment.

Background: Indigo-containing plant tissues change blue after a freezing treatment, which is accompanied by changes in indigo and its related compounds. is one of the few monocot plants containing indigo. The change to blue after freezing was described to explore the biosynthesis of indigo in .

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Profiles of Genes in L.

The gene family plays roles in biotic and abiotic stress, secondary metabolism, and other aspects in plants. They have been reported in , , , and other plants, but their roles in have not been determined. In this study, we analyzed the genome-wide identification and expression profile of the gene family in .

[Research progress on mechanism of phytohormones in regulating flavonoid metabolism].

Phytohormones play an important role at all stages of plant growth, influencing plant growth and development and regulating plant secondary metabolism, such as the synthesis of flavone, flavonol, anthocyanin, and other flavonoids. Flavonoids, a group of important secondary metabolites ubiquitous in plants, have antioxidative, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory activities and thus have a wide range of potential applications in Chinese medicine and food nutrition. With the development of biotechnology, phytohormones' regulation on flavonoids has become a research focus in recent years.

[Molecular genetics of medicinal plants, past achievement, and new era].

Unraveling the genetic basis of medicinal plant metabolism and developmental traits is a long-standing goal for pharmacologists and plant biologists. This paper discusses the definition of molecular genetics of medicinal plants, which is an integrative discipline with medicinal plants as the research object. This discipline focuses on the heredity and variation of medicinal plants, and elucidates the relationship between the key traits of medicinal plants(active compounds, yield, resistance, etc.

[Genome-wide analysis of LBD(lateral organ boundaries domain) gene family in Cannabis sativa of traditional Chinese medicine hemp seed].

LBD(lateral organ boundaries)transcription factors play an important role in the regulation of plant growth, development and secondary metabolism. In order to explore the function of LBD genes in cannabis, the Cannabis sativa genome and transcriptome were used to identify the C. sativa LBD gene family, and analyzed their expression patterns.

[Advances in biosynthesis of indigo in plants].

Natural indigo, as one of the oldest dyes, is also a pivotal dye utilized in cotton fabrics today. A diversity of plants rich in indigo compounds belong to traditional Chinese herbal medicines. Indigo compounds have a variety of biological and pharmacological activities, including anticonvulsant, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anticancer activities.
