Abstract Background A robust molecular phylogeny is fundamental for developing a stable classification and providing solid framework to understand patterns of diversification, historical biogeography, character evolution. As the sixth largest angiosperm family, Lamiaceae, or mint consitutes major source aromatic oil, wood, ornamentals, culinary medicinal herbs, making it an exceptionally important group ecologically, ethnobotanically, floristically. The lack reliable phylogenetic this family...
ABSTRACT The mechanistic basis for the resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to para -aminosalicylic acid (PAS), an important agent in treatment multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, has yet be fully defined. As a substrate analog folate precursor -aminobenzoic acid, PAS is ultimately bioactivated hydroxy dihydrofolate, which inhibits dihydrofolate reductase and disrupts operation folate-dependent metabolic pathways. result, mutation synthase, enzyme needed bioactivation PAS, causes M. strain...
The content of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, Ni and As from 250 soil samples was measured in agricultural Ningxia section the Yellow River. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) to identify main sources these heavy metals; Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) their spatial distribution high-risk areas; Human Health risk (HHR) model measure health risk. Results showed that average Cd exceeds screening value "Soil Environmental Quality-Agricultural Land Soil Pollution Risk Control Standard" (GB...
Although increasing evidences have emerged for responses of soil microorganisms to fertilizations, the knowledge regarding community assemblages that cause variations in composition is still lacking, as well possible feedback fertility. Phylogenetic conservatism species indicates their similar environmental preferences and/or function traits and phylogenetic signals further can infer influenced ecological processes. Here, we calculated mean pairwise distance (MPD) nearest relative index...
Schnabeliajiuzhaigouensis C. Liu, F. Zhao & C.L. Xiang, a new species from north-eastern Sichuan, China, is described, based on both morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence. Morphologically, the mostly similar to S.terniflora, but can be readily distinguished by its habit, ovate lanceolate-ovate leaf blades, presence of 5-8 lateral veins each side mid-rib distinct characteristics floral structure, including oblong upper lip lobes lower lip, with middle lobe being cuneate. In...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most serious and prevalent health problems worldwide. Current anti-HBV medications have a number drawbacks, such as adverse effects drug resistance; thus, novel potential reagents are needed. Selenium (Se) has been shown to be involved in both human immunodeficiency hepatitis C infections, but its role HBV remains unclear. To address this, sodium selenite (Na2SeO3 ) was applied three cell models: HepG2.2.15 cells, HuH-7 cells transfected with...
Abstract Phylogenetic relationships in Dipsacales have long been a major challenge. Although considerable progress has made during the past two decades, questions remain; uncertain systematic positions of Heptacodium , Triplostegia and Zabelia particular, impede our understanding evolution. Here we use 75 complete plastomic sequences to reconstruct phylogeny Dipsacales, which 28 were newly generated. Two primary clades recovered that form phylogenetic backbone Dipsacales. Seven correspond...
Abstract Soil fungi have important effects on plant performance and nutrient cycling. To understand the dynamics of soil fungal community their response to changes in understory plants properties after afforestation, we investigated a cropland site ( CL ) three Pinus tabulaeformis plantation sites with different ages (15, 30, 45 yr) Ziwuling Mountains, Loess Plateau, China. Afforestation increased organic carbon SOC ), total nitrogen TN phosphorus TP ‐N, ‐N contents but decreased available...
Scutellaria, or skullcaps, are medicinally important herbs in China, India, Japan, and elsewhere. Though Scutellaria is the second largest one of more taxonomically challenging genera within Lamiaceae, few molecular systematic studies have been undertaken genus; part due to a paucity available informative markers. The lack markers for hinders our ability accurately robustly reconstruct phylogenetic relationships, which hampers understanding diversity, phylogeny, evolutionary history this...

, with 150-170 species, is the second largest and perhaps most taxonomically challenging genus within subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae). With about 60 China one of three major biodiversity centers
The monotypic genus Pseudomarrubium is perhaps the most poorly understood taxon within subfamily Lamioideae (Lamiaceae). While advances in molecular phylogenetics have clarified phylogeny and taxonomy of Lamioideae, systematic placement remains unclear, as it has never been tested using phylogenetic analyses due to an inaccessibility plant material. In this study, we used high-throughput next-generation sequencing infer based on old herbarium collections well silica-dried leaves....
Phlomoides is one of the largest genera Lamiaceae with approximately 150–170 species distributed mainly in Eurasia. In this study, we describe and illustrate a new species, P. henryi , which was previously misidentified as bracteosa from Yunnan Province, southwest China. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that found within clade most lack basal leaves. clade, morphologically distinct rotata having an obvious stem and, rest, by transparent to white trichomes inside upper corolla lip....
Antlers are hallmark organ of deer, exhibiting a relatively high growth rate among mammals, and requiring large amounts nutrients to meet its development. The rumen microbiota plays key roles in nutrient metabolism. However, changes the metabolome during antler largely unknown. We investigated (liquid, solid, ventral epithelium, dorsal epithelium) metabolic profiles sika deer at early (EG), metaphase (MG) fast (FG) stages. Our data showed greater concentrations acetate propionate rumens from...
Abstract Ajugoideae, the third–largest subfamily of Lamiaceae with 23 genera and about 760 species, is distributed worldwide, but primarily found in tropical regions. During past two decades, substantial progress has been made towards discerning phylogenetic relationships generic boundaries major questions still remain. This study was conducted using 422 DNA sequences from seven regions (nrITS, ETS, matK, rbcL, rps16, trnL–trnF, trnH–psbA) representing 50 species 22 to reconstruct backbone...
As one of the largest genera Lamiaceae and great medicinal importance, Isodon is also phylogenetically taxonomically recalcitrant largely ascribed to its recent rapid radiation in Hengduan Mountains. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies using limited loci have only successfully resolved backbone topology genus, but interspecific relationships suffered from low resolution, especially within clade (Clade IV) which comprises over 80% species. In this study, we attempted further elucidate...
Abstract Distributed in Central Asia, Metastachydium (Lamiaceae) is a poorly understood and rare monotypic genus, with few collections known. The systematic position of this enigmatic genus within Lamiaceae has remained unresolved due to its poor representation herbaria coincident lack available materials for molecular phylogenetic analysis. Facilitated by some recent collections, we performed Bayesian inference maximum likelihood analyses, using an 80‐protein‐coding plastid‐gene dataset...
Introduction The Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) genome contains four ORFs, S (surface), P (polymerase), C (core) and X. is completely overlapped by as a consequence the overlapping region subject to distinctive evolutionary constraints compared remainder of genome. Specifically, non-synonymous substitution in one coding frame may produce synonymous alternative frame, suggesting possible conflict between requirements for diversifying purifying forces. To examine how these contrasting are balanced...
