Tea is a popular natural non-alcoholic beverage consumed worldwide due to its bioactive ingredients, particularly catechins (flavan-3-ols). Catechins not only contribute tea quality but also serve important functions in the anti-stress regulation of secondary metabolic pathways. However, percentages various are different among plant [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] cultivars. This study aimed elucidate biosynthetic mechanism catechins. Transcriptomes from leaf tissues four cultivars,...

GRAS proteins are important transcription factors that play multifarious roles in regulating the growth and development as well stress responses of plants. Tea plant is an economically leaf -type beverage crop. Information concerning family tea insufficient. In this study, 52 CsGRAS genes encoding were identified from genome database. Phylogenetic analysis plant, Arabidopsis, rice divided these into at least 13 subgroups. Conserved motif revealed gene structure compositions considerably...

A phytochemical investigation of Ainsliaea macrocephala led to the isolation a new dimeric sesquiterpene lactone, ainsliadimer (1). The structure 1 was elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, and confirmed single crystal X-ray diffraction. Ainsliadimer represents an unusual carbon skeleton with cyclopentane system connecting two monomeric lactone units. This unique molecule exerted potent inhibitory activity against production nitric oxide in RAW264.7 stimulated LPS.

African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most severe diseases caused by ASF virus (ASFV), causing massive economic losses to global pig industry. Serological tests are important in epidemiological surveillance, and more antigen targets needed meet market demand for ASFV antibody detection. In present study, p15 protein was fusion-expressed Escherichia coli (E. coli) with elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), ELP-p15 purified using a simple inverse transition cycling (ITC) process. The ELP tag...
