The genus Fritillaria belongs to the widely distributed Liliaceae. bulbs of Fritillaria, F. ussuriensis and cirrhosa are valuable herbaceous medicinal ingredients. However, they still used indiscriminately in herbal medicine. Identification molecular phylogenic analysis species therefore required. Here, we report complete chloroplast (CP) genome sequences cirrhosa. two CP genomes were 151,524 151,083 bp length, respectively, each included a pair inverted repeated regions (52,678 52,156 bp)...

Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health problem owing to its high prevalence and increased morbidity mortality. The of DM impaired glucose tolerance in Uganda approximately 4.1% 6.6%, respectively. Medicinal plants are commonly used for the management DM, especially developing countries, such as . According several ethnobotanical surveys conducted Uganda, various medicinal management. Meanwhile, ethnopharmacological studies have confirmed anti-diabetic efficacy plant-derived...

Prunus africana is an endangered medicinal plant and hence new propagation methods are urgently required to increase its populations. Unfortunately, through seeds challenging due long flowering cycle recalcitrant seeds. We developed a protocol for micropropagation using nodal segment explants. A woody medium supplemented with vitamins, 15 g L −1 sucrose, 1.0 mg 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) supported the optimum rate (100%) of axillary shoot initiation. Supplementation sucrose 1.5...

Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) Nannf. is a medicinal plant traditionally used in China, Korea, and Japan to treat many diseases including poor gastrointestinal function, low immunity, gastric ulcers, chronic gastritis. The increasing therapeutic preventive use of C. has subsequently led depletion the natural populations this species thus necessitating propagation important plant. Here, we developed an efficient effective vitro protocol for using apical shoot segments. We tested various tissue...

The human RNA editing enzyme ADAR1 (double-stranded deaminase I) deaminates adenine in pre-mRNA to yield inosine, which codes as guanine. has two left-handed Z-DNA binding domains, Zα and Zβ, at its NH2-terminus preferentially binds Z-DNA, rather than B-DNA, with high affinity. cocrystal structure of ZαADAR1 complexed showed that one monomeric domain strand double-stranded DNA a second monomer the opposite 2-fold symmetry respect helical axis. It remains unclear how protein specifically...

This study was performed to identify and analyze the phylogenetic relationship among four herbaceous species of genus Paeonia, P. lactiflora, japonica, veitchii, suffruticosa, using DNA barcodes. These species, which are commonly used in traditional medicine as Paeoniae Radix Moutan Radicis Cortex, pharmaceutically defined different ways national pharmacopoeias Korea, Japan, China. To authenticate these medicines, we evaluated rDNA-internal transcribed spacers (ITS), matK rbcL regions,...

Metschnikowia persimmonesis, a novel endophytic yeast strain isolated from Diospyros kaki calyx, possesses strong antimicrobial activity. We investigated its potential use as an environmentally safe food biocontrol agent through genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics. Secondary metabolites were M. followed by chemical structure elucidation, PUL gene cluster identification, RNA sequencing. Pulcherrimin was using 2 M NaOH, confirmed, the yield quantified. Biocontrol efficacy of...

Methods to identify Pinelliae Tuber and Arisaematis Rhizoma are required because of frequent reciprocal substitution between these two herbal medicines the existence several closely related plant materials. As a result morphological similarity dried tubers, correct discrimination authentic is difficult by conventional methods. Therefore, we analyzed DNA barcode sequences each medicine common adulterants at species level. To verify identity medicines, collected five (Pinellia ternata for...
