Structural characterization and anti-asthmatic effect of α-l-arabino(4-O-methyl-α-d-glucurono)-β-d-xylan from the roots of Rudbeckia fulgida.
Summary
Researchers isolated a low molecular weight hemicellulose polymer from a medicinal plant that effectively suppressed cough and bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs, suggesting potential for treating allergic asthma.
Newly Emerged Populations of Plasmopara halstedii Infecting Rudbeckia Exhibit Unique Genotypic Profiles and Are Distinct from Sunflower-Infecting Strains.
