The calibration of parameters for pelleted rice seeds (PR) is crucial enhancing research on PR-related machinery and executing high-speed precision hole sowing with unmanned aerial vehicles. This paper focuses determining the fundamental physical contact PR. A series tests were conducted, including Plackett-Burman test, steepest ascent Box-Behnken using stacking angle as primary variable. These led to identification optimal combinations simulation parameters. Specifically, coefficients...
Baicalein, one of the major flavonoids found in Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, displays neuroprotective effects on experimental models Parkinson's disease (PD) vitro and vivo. Although antioxidative and/or anti-inflammatory activity baicalein likely contributes to these effects, other modes action remain largely uncharacterized. In present study, pretreatment significantly prevented cells from 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced damage by attenuating cellular apoptosis. However,...
Pterocarpus is a genus of trees mainly distributed in tropical Asia, Africa, and South America. Some species are rosewood tree species, having important economic value for timber, some medicinal as well. Up to now, information about this with regard the genomic characteristics chloroplasts has been limited. Based on combination next-generation sequencing (Illumina Hiseq) long-read (PacBio), whole chloroplast genomes (cp genomes) five (rosewoods) (Pterocarpus macrocarpus, P. santalinus,...
In recent years, some new “Qi-Nan” clones of Aquilaria sinensis with the characteristics easy induction and high-quality agarwood have been obtained, through cultivation propagation grafted seedlings. These are used for intensive production agarwood. The speed resin formation yield crucial development industry. differences in chemical composition among different Qi-Nan times worth investigating. While between ordinary A. extensively studied, effects time coupled on remain insufficiently...
Abstract Background Dalbergia odorifera is an economically and culturally important species in the Fabaceae because of high-quality lumber traditional Chinese medicines made from this plant, however, overexploitation has increased scarcity D. . Given rarity multiple uses species, it to expand genomic resources for utilizing applications such as tracking illegal logging, determining effective population size wild stands, delineating pedigrees marker assisted breeding programs, resolving gene...
The genus Dalbergia contains more than 200 species, several of which are trees that produce traditional medicines and extremely high-value timber commonly referred to as rosewood. Due the rarity these species in wild, high value timber, a growing international illicit trade, CITES (Convention on International Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora) has listed entire appendix II nigra I because this considered at risk extinction. Given this, fact or even level determination is nearly...
Recently, some new Qi-Nan clones of Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Spreng which intensively produces high-quality agarwood have been identified and propagated through grafting techniques. Previous studies primarily focused on ordinary A. the differences in composition when compared to . There are few formation mechanism dynamic changes components endophytic fungi during induction process. In this paper, characteristics, chemical composition, induced after 1 year, 2 years, 3 years were studied,...
SU4312, a potent and selective inhibitor of VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), has been designed to treat cancer. Recent studies have suggested that SU4312 can also be useful in treating neurodegenerative disorders. In this study, we assessed neuroprotection by against 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+) )-induced neurotoxicity further explored the underlying mechanisms.MPP(+) -treated neurons 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated zebrafish were used study SU4312. NOS...
Sunitinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is clinically used for the treatment of cancer. In this study, we found first time that sunitinib inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at submicromolar concentrations in vitro. addition, dramatically decreased hippocampal and cortical activity AChE time-dependent manner mice. Molecular docking analysis further demonstrates might interact with both catalytic anion peripheral anionic sites within AChE, which accordance enzymatic results showing mixed...
Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Fabaceae) is a semi-deciduous tree species indigenous to Hainan Island in China. Due its precious heartwood “Hualimu (Chinese)” and Chinese medicinal components “Jiangxiang”, D. seriously threatened of long-term overexploitation has been listed on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation Nature’s) red list since 1998. Therefore, elucidation genetic diversity imperative conservation breeding purposes. In this study, we evaluated 42 wild trees from seven...
Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Fabaceae) is a woody tree species indigenous to Hainan Island in China. Due its high medicinal and commercial value, this has been planted over 3500 ha² southern There an urgent need for improvement of the D. germplasm, however, limited information on germplasm collection, conservation, assessment genetic resources available. Therefore, we have built database 251 individuals collected across whole China, which included 42 wild trees 210 cultivated trees, with...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Although etiology of PD not completely understood, it well-documented that oxidative stress and Ca(2+)-mediated cellular damage play important roles in progression PD. 2-[[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)oxidoimino]-methyl]-3,5,6-trimethylpyrazine (TBN), a novel nitrone derivative tetramethylpyrazine, has shown significant therapeutic effects stroke models due to its multiple functions, including calcium overload blockade free...
Abstract Background Dalbergia odorifera T. Chen (Fabaceae) is an International Union for Conservation of Nature red-listed tree. This tree high medicinal and commercial value owing to its officinal, insect-proof, durable heartwood. However, there a lack genome reference, which has hindered development studies on the heartwood formation. Findings We presented first chromosome-scale assembly D. obtained basis Illumina paired-end sequencing, Pacific Biosciences single-molecule real-time 10x...
Abstract Background Agarwood is a highly sought-after resinous wood for uses in medicine, incense, and perfume production. To overcome challenges associated with agarwood production Aquilaria sinensis , several artificial agarwood-induction treatments have been developed. However, the effects of these techniques on metabolome treated samples are unknown. Therefore, present study was conducted to evaluate four treatments: fire drill treatment (F), + brine (FS), cold (D) (DS))...
Agarwood is a valuable resinous aromatic substance known to have healing properties. Only plants in the Thymelaeace family, specifically genera Aquilaria and Gyrinops, produce it defend themselves from insect, bacterial, fungal attacks. Over-harvesting of natural agarwood has given rise different artificial induction techniques. However, contribution endophytic microorganisms this process remains largely unknown. Herein, we employed fire drills drill + brine treatments investigated their...
Summary Background Sunitinib is an inhibitor of the multiple receptor tyrosine kinases ( RTK s) for cancer therapy. Some sunitinib analogues could prevent neuronal death induced by various neurotoxins. However, neuroprotective effects have not been reported. Methods Cerebellar granule neurons CGN and SH ‐ SY 5 Y cells were exposed to low‐potassium MPP + challenges, respectively. MTT assay, FDA / PI staining, H oechst DAF FM , colorimetric nitric oxide synthase NOS ) activity W estern...
In recent years, some new Qi-Nan clones of Aquilaria sinensis, which have the characteristics easily induced and high-quality agarwood, been selected propagated by grafting seedlings. To date, research on seedlings is limited. this study, effects physiological endophytic fungi within a short period after were studied means histochemical observations, index determinations Illumina sequencing. The results showed that healing time ordinary A. sinensis was at least 10 days shorter than Qi-Nan,...
Agarwood is a highly sought-after resinous wood for use in medicine, incense, and perfume production. However, the process of agarwood formation slow. In this study, induction three-year-old Aquilaria sinensis “Qinan” trees through treatment with ethephon, hydrogen peroxide, sodium chloride, distilled water, wounding was investigated. The results showed that starch content significantly decreased soluble sugar increased during formation, no significant difference between different groups....
