MYB transcription factors (TFs) are one of the largest TF families in plants to regulate numerous biological processes. However, our knowledge family Physcomitrella patens is limited. We identified 116 genes P. genome, which were classified into R2R3-MYB, R1R2R3-MYB, 4R-MYB, and MYB-related subfamilies. Most R2R3 contain 3 exons 2 introns, whereas R1R2R3 10 9 introns. N3R-MYB (novel 3RMYB) NR-MYBs RMYBs) with complicated gene structures appear be novel proteins. In addition, we found that...
Abstract Background Homegardens are ecologically and culturally important systems for cultivating medicinal plants wellbeing by healers farmers in Naxi communities of the Sino Himalayan region. The cultivation associated ethnomedical knowledge base maintaining utilizing these resources is at risk with expanded commercialization natural resources, development policies rapid socio-economic change China. Research needed to understand plant species maintained homegardens, their use contribution...
Abstract Background Due to their relative isolation, the previous studies of Monpa plant use were only conducted in north-east India. In October 2013, Mêdog County was no longer remote, thanks completion a highway into county. This study species used by had three research objectives. These (i) identify and record local names uses plants County, (ii) assess which these endemic or near-endemic within this part Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, (iii) how reflect socio-economic change County?...
Fermented rose petals are a traditional delicacy of the Dali Bai community in Yunnan, China. Fermentation enhances quality and nutritional value roses, as well their efficacy, by increasing levels phenolic compounds. This study aimed to investigate significant variations four active compounds throughout fermentation process. Four Rosa rugosa 'Mohong,' were examined, among polyphenols antioxidant anti-inflammatory activities observed. These studied during Saccharomyces rouxii at varying...
Background/Objectives: Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor worldwide, and few natural substances are available for its effective treatment. The ginseng Panax japonicus var. major medicinal plant with anticancer properties in terms of traditional knowledge indigenous peoples Yunnan SW China. Methods: In this study, we employed network pharmacology, molecular docking, untargeted metabolomics dynamics simulations to predict the mode action active compounds from P. treatment gastric...
Bai people in the Dali Prefecture of Northwest Yunnan, China, have a long history using plant extracts to dye their traditional costumes and maintain this culture for posterity. However, development modern technology, while vastly improving dyeing efficiency, is also replacing indigenous knowledge which threatens practice, causing latter disappearing gradually. This study sought examine plants used textile communities, so as provide foundation sustainable development.We conducted...
Abstract Background Home garden is identified as a kind of small-scale land-use system which used to manage and cultivate useful plants by local people, home gardens can provide various plant products services. Investigating was regarded an effective way understand the biodiversity-related knowledge culture native people in Ethnobiology Ethnoecology. important less developed remote areas. The grand canyon Yarlung Tsangpo designed one biodiversity hotspots China, it most regions because rough...
The formula Chong-Lou-Yao-Fang (CLYF) is an herbal medicinal formulation developed by the indigenous Naxi people for treating liver cancer. This study to reveal biological activity, potential targets, and molecular mechanisms of CLYF cancer treatment through network pharmacology, docking in vitro experiments. 35 key compounds were screened from 176 active ingredients CLYF, which played a vital role cancer, 20 core targets filtered protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis. enrichment...
With the advantage of being eco-friendly, plant dyes have been noticed by textile practitioners and public. However, as a result rapid advancements in industrial manufacturing, traditional knowledge is dying, which demands heightened attention protection. To document this Baiyi community, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 288 informants from four villages (Five stars village, Hedong Nanpo Shang’ eping village) Liuhe Yi Nationality Township, Heqing County, Dali Prefecture. Based...
The use of herbal medicine in China has a long history. Since ancient times, plants have been the main source medicines for people’s healthcare all over China. Today, medicinal are widely used different medical systems including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Tibetan (TM) health care functional food China, as supplies natural products industrial manufacturing international market. In last half-century, great progress made science technology there rapid social economic development....
Abstract Humans have dyed textiles and leather, colored food, paint body parts using natural dyes throughout history. Natural suffered drastically due to recent socioeconomic changes replacement with synthetic dye in the textile industry. Hence, it is urgent study indigenous plants dyeing craft local communities protect these resources' potential ecological, economic, cultural values. In 11 Monpa villages of Mêdog County, South-east Tibet, China, we conducted field research record method...
Fermented Rosa rugosa ‘Dianhong’ petals with brown sugar, a biologically active food popularized in Dali Prefecture, Northwest Yunnan, China, are rich bioactive compounds, especially polyphenols, exhibiting strong antioxidant activity. This study evaluated their activities, total phenolic contents, and concentrations of polyphenols at different fermentation conditions using assays: DPPH free-radical scavenging activity, Trolox equivalent capacity (TEAC), ferric reducing power (FRAP),...
Sweet potato residue (SPR), a byproduct generated during starch extraction from sweet potato, is usually treated as an agrowaste, resulting in lower economic benefits and serious environmental pollution.To promote resource recycling, SPR was used starting material to prepare microbiological protein feed (MPF) by co-cultivating Saccharomyces cerevisiae Candida utilis.The cultivation conditions were investigated, the optimum determined follows: inoculation amount of S. cerevisiae, 5%; C....
Traditional fermented Rosa (TFR) is a typical food and medical product among the Dali Bai people, its popularity growing. A few studies have looked into TFR's medicinal advantages, linked germplasm resources, traditional processing procedures, functional qualities. Our goal was to look Rosa's processing, examine dominant strains in TFR, prove how these affected antioxidant tyrosinase inhibitory activities. We used snowball selection strategy pick 371 informants for semi-structured interview,...
Diosgenone [(20S,22R,25R)-spirost-4-en-3-one, C27H40O3] has been considered as a potential therapeutic alternative remedy for malaria. An efficient and economical approach of microbial transformation with diosgenin to diosgenone by the yeast strain Wickerhamomyces anomalus JQ-1 from Naxi traditional Jiu Qu was developed in this study. Chromatographic analysis confirmed that 85% 0.1 mM transformed within 72 h. This research demonstrates could be converted through two-step pathway including...
China's rapid economic development is influencing cultural practices and natural resource management in indigenous mountain communities throughout the country. Numerous studies have documented loss change of environmental degradation with expansion roads, markets, tourism, other infrastructure development. The present study focuses on papermaking, a socioecological practice that began China, as case to examine influence management. Naxi are an people who primarily inhabit mountains eastern...
The concept of eco-civilisation refers to the need for human affairs be contained within limits set by nature. Plants play such fundamental roles in functioning ecosystems and economies that due attention must given them achieved. Species are basic functional units plant world and, taking a long term perspective, their conservation with genetic diversity should primary objective construction. However, standard procedures used have met only limited success. Therefore, conservationists social...
