Abstract Background Traditional knowledge associated with medicinal food plants (MFPs) plays a vital role in fighting hidden hunger and safeguarding the health of local people. MFPs resources are abundant Gaoligongshan area, biosphere reserve richest biocultural diversity China. Local people different linguistic groups also have rich traditional botanical knowledge. However, there still few comprehensive systematic studies on there. Methods Ethnobotanical investigation including market...

Abstract Cultural homogeneity, similar to the loss biodiversity, is a significant global issue that increasingly gaining attention. City flowers and city trees (CFTs) serve as emblematic cultural symbols of modern cities, often referred ‘green business card’. While many cities have established CFTs in recent decades, there are instances inconsistencies irrationalities selection process. This study conducts statistical analysis prefecture‐level China, detailing their distribution, species...

In this study, Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) were fermented with or without pyroligneous acid (PA) for 3, 7, 14, and 30 days. PA addition enhanced the contents of acetic true protein (P < 0.01) decreased pH coliform bacteria, nonprotein nitrogen 0.01), ammonium 0.01). With PA, abundance Lactobacillus increased, but Enterobacter decreased. A total 754 metabolites identified. MOL apigenin, arbutin, 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol, 4-methoxy cinnamic while content skatole compared PA. The detected...

Pu'er Traditional Tea Agroecosystem is one of the projects included in United Nations' Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) since 2012. Against background having rich biodiversity and a long history tea culture, ancient trees have experienced from wild-transition-cultivation for thousands years, local people's knowledge about management teagardens has not been rigorously recorded. For this reason, it important to study record traditional influence on formation...

IRW (Ile-Arg-Trp), a bioactive peptide isolated from egg ovotransferrin, has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, the effects of on inflammatory cytokines and microbiota were explored in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced rat model peritonitis. Rats injected intraperitoneally with LPS establish HUVECs exposed for 12 h before introducing LPS. Notably, exerted beneficial against LPS-induced peritonitis, specifically, by...
