Article Abstract
Dao-di herbs are the treasure of Chinese materia medica and one of the characteristic research objects of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). Probing into the microevolution of Dao-di herbs can help to reveal their biological essence and quality formation mechanisms. The progress in molecular biology and omics provides the possibility to elucidate the phylogenetic and quality forming characteristics of Dao-di herbs at the molecular level. In particular, genomics serves as a powerful tool to decipher the genetic origins of Dao-di herbs, and molecular markers have been widely used in the research on the genetic diversity and population structure of Dao-di herbs. Focusing on the excellent traits and quality of Dao-di herbs, this paper reviews the studies about the microevolution process of quality formation mechanisms of Dao-di herbs with the application of molecular markers and omics, aiming to underpin the protection and utilization of TCM resources.

Tanshinones, the major bioactive diterpenes in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, are widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. While jasmonates (JAs) are known to modulate tanshinones accumulation, the molecular link between JA signalling and tanshinone biosynthesis remains unclear. Here, we identify SmWRKY33, a JA-responsive WRKY transcription factor, as a key regulator of tanshinone biosynthesis through multiomic and genetic analyses.

Targeting thrombin to screen safe thrombin inhibitors from natural plants and animals is a critical direction in anticoagulant drug development. This study aimed to screen thrombin inhibitors from the nonbloodsucking leech Whitmania pigra (WP) and elucidate the mechanism of anticoagulation through a "computation-guided experimentation" strategy. A peptide library was constructed from WP hydrolysates, and virtual screening was performed using molecular docking and dynamics simulations.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Fever is a prevalent clinical symptom and is usually caused by inflammation or infection. Persistent high fever can lead to delirium, coma and convulsions, causing brain damage. Angong Niuhuang Pill (ANP), a traditional Chinese emergency medicine, has been employed in clinical practice for centuries, with well-documented antipyretic effects.
