Panax notoginseng is a famous Chinese traditional medicinal. However, soil cadmium pollution seriously affected the yield and quality of notoginseng. This study systematically investigated the effects of soil Cd stress at different concentrations on the growth of one-year-old notoginseng. The results indicate that Cd exhibits a typical low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition effect on the development of notoginseng. At low concentrations (1 mg/kg), Cd promotes the growth of plants, including increased biomass (∼40 % of root dry weight) and higher saponin contents (∼30 % of total saponins). At high concentrations, Cd inhibits the overall growth and metabolism of notoginseng. Meanwhile, the impact of Cd on the rhizospheric micro-environment shows dose dependency. In a low Cd stress environment, the total and unique microbial populations increase, including Rhizobiaceae, Streptomycetaceae, and Mesorhizobium. Conversely, under strong Cd stress, the richness and diversity of the rhizospheric microbial community decrease, while the abundance of cadmium-tolerant species increases, such as Deinococcus and Rhodanobacter.

Mortierella spp. is emerging as a potential biocontrol agent against soil borne diseases due to its antagonistic effects on pathogens and strong environmental adaptability. However, the mechanisms by which it restructures rhizosphere microbial communities to achieve sustained pathogen suppression remain largely unresolved.

Developing a practical strategy to enhance the quality of medicinal herb while alleviating negative plant-soil feedback (NPSF) is critical for agriculture. In this study, we investigated the effects of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) on Panax notoginseng through a two-year field experiment. Four treatments were established: a control (SeNPs_0) and three SeNPs concentrations (3, 5, and 10 mg/L), which were foliar-sprayed every 15 days for a total of six applications.

The precise and selective determination of ginsenosides, pharmacologically diverse saponins abundant in Panax species, is crucial for their therapeutic development and stringent quality control. However, inherent challenges, including their weak ultraviolet absorption and the high polarity imparted by sugar moieties, complicate their determination. Addressing these limitations, this study introduces the first-time construction and application of a boronate affinity dendritic mesoporous silica nanomaterial (BA-DMSN) as a highly efficient adsorbent for ginsenoside pretreatment.

Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin produced by filamentous fungi of the Ascomycota phylum, widely present in grains such as corn and wheat. The global contamination of ZEA is becoming increasingly severe, with a significant rise in its detection rate in grains and animal feed, posing serious threats to the health of livestock and poultry, the safety of processed grain products, and human health. This paper reviews the residual risks of ZEA, particularly its significant effects on the reproductive system and liver.

The neuroactive β-N-oxalyl-L-α,β-diaminopropionic acid (β-ODAP) was first identified in Lathyrus sativus and present also in several Chinese traditional herbs including Panax notoginseng. It exhibit toxicological effects as the causative agent of neurolathyrism when L. sativus was over-consumed under drought-triggered famines or pharmacological effects including neuroprotection and wound healing.
