Researchers studied the medicinal properties of Liriope spicata Lour., commonly used for fatigue, restlessness, and insomnia treatment. Understanding its benefits may lead to new therapies.
Researchers identified gene McPRR2 as key in regulating bitter gourd pericarp color. Its overexpression in tomato increases chlorophyll content, enhancing green color. This study offers valuable insights for genetic improvement in breeding programs.
Researchers demonstrated that Ib-rolB/C genes from sweet potato induce hormonal changes in plants. This affects plant characteristics and gene expression. Understanding this mechanism may lead to better plant manipulation techniques.
Artemisa vulgaris extract inhibits lipoxygenases, reducing inflammation. Optimal extraction conditions yield high flavonoid content. Extract acts as a non-competitive inhibitor, potentially binding to free or substrate-bound LOX.
TL;DR: 8-Shogaol (8S) in ginger reduces inflammatory pain and morphine tolerance by activating TRPV1 channels. Potential new drug for pain relief.
Scientists used enzyme-assisted ultrasonic extraction to extract flavonoids and polysaccharides from Abelmoschus manihot. This method showed higher yields and increased concentrations of important flavonoids compared to traditional extraction methods, making it an efficient and environmentally friendly option.
Curcuma angustifolia rhizome extract demonstrated significant antidiabetic activity by inhibiting key enzymes and improving glucose uptake in yeast cells. Potential for isolating compounds with antidiabetic properties.
