Lignosus rhinocerus, the tiger milk mushroom, is one of most important medicinal mushrooms used by indigenous people Southeast Asia and China. It has been to treat breast cancer. A cold water extract (LR-CW) prepared from sclerotia L. rhinocerus cultivar was found exhibit antiproliferative activity against human carcinoma (MCF-7) lung (A549), with IC(50) 96.7 μg/mL 466.7 μg/mL, respectively. In comparison, LR-CW did not show significant cytotoxicity two corresponding normal cells, 184B5...
Abstract Lignosus rhinocerotis (Tiger milk mushroom) is an important folk medicine for indigenous peoples in Southeast Asia. We previously reported its de novo assembled 34.3 Mb genome encoding a repertoire of proteins including putative bioactive fungal immunomodulatory protein. Here we report the cDNA this new member (FIP-Lrh) with homology range 54–64% to FIPs from other mushroom species, closest FIP-glu (LZ-8) (64%) Ganoderma lucidum. The FIP-Lrh 112 amino acids (12.59 kDa) has...
Lignosus rhinocerus (Tiger's Milk mushroom, or local Malay name cendawan susu rimau (harimau)) is one of the most important traditional medicinal mushrooms found in Malaysia. The communities have been using this mushroom to treat asthma, fever, cough, cancer, food poisoning, wound healing, as a tonic, well improve immunity and maintain general health. In study, five isolates L. from three different geographical regions Malaysia with distances more than 100 km were collected, their internal...
Chrysoglossum ornatum Blume, the type species of belongs to tribe Collabieae subfamily Epidendroideae Orchidaceae. In this study, we sequenced, assembled, and analyzed complete chloroplast genome C. ornatum. The result showed that was 158,175 bp in size, consisting a large single-copy (LSC) region 87,235 bp, small (SSC) 18,384 pair inverted repeats (IRs) 26,278 bp. encoded 113 unique genes, comprising 80 protein-coding 29 tRNA four rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis inferred from indicated...
Neottiabifidus, a new mycoheterotrophic orchid, found in Maolan National Nature Reserve Guizhou Province, China, is described and illustrated here. The species close to N.nidus-avis, N.kiusiana N.papilligera but differs having finely pubescent rachis with fewer flowers, pedicel, fishtail-shaped lip that deeply bilobed the middle of lip, lobes diverging at an acute angle (45°) each other mesochile many papillae. Additionally, N.bifidus well supported as by molecular phylogenetic results based...
According to Articles 53.1 of the International Code Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (Shenzhen Code), Neottiabifida M.N.Wang (as 'bifidus'; PhytoKeys 229: 222, 2023) is an illegitimate name, hence a new name Neottiamaolanensis M. N. Wang proposed here.
