Mature pollen germinates rapidly on the stigma, extending its pollen tube to deliver sperm cells to the ovule for fertilization. The success of this process is an important factor that limits output. The flavonoid content increased significantly during pollen germination and pollen tube growth, which suggests it may play an important role in these processes. However, the specific mechanism of this involvement has been little researched. Our previous research found that hyperoside can prolong the flowering period of Abelmoschus esculentus (okra), but its specific mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the effect of hyperoside in regulating the actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF), which further affects the germination and growth of pollen. We found that hyperoside can prolong the effective pollination period of okra by 2–3-fold and promote the growth of pollen tubes in the style. Then, we used Nicotiana benthamiana cells as a research system and found that hyperoside accelerates the depolymerization of intercellular microfilaments. Hyperoside can promote pollen germination and pollen tube elongation in vitro. Moreover, AeADF1 was identified out of all AeADF genes as being highly expressed in pollen tubes in response to hyperoside. In addition, hyperoside promoted AeADF1-mediated microfilament dissipation according to microfilament severing experiments in vitro. In the pollen tube, the gene expression of AeADF1 was reduced to 1/5 by oligonucleotide transfection. The decrease in the expression level of AeADF1 partially reduced the promoting effect of hyperoside on pollen germination and pollen tube growth. This research provides new research directions for flavonoids in reproductive development.

Inonotus obliquus, a famous dark brown white-rot fungus on birch trees, has remarkable anti-cancer activity due to its special triterpenpoid components. The aims of this study were to develop an efficient and integrated strategy for preparative separation of triterpenoids from Inonotus obliquus and to provide ideas for the preparation of bioactive ingredients in other complex materials. In the present study, an integrated technology of negative pressure cavitation extraction (NPCE) and high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) separation of four main triterpenoids in Inonotus obliquus was developed for the first time. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the negative pressure cavitation extraction parameters of triterpenoids from Inonotus obliquus. For the rapid and effective preparative separation of triterpenoids, the HSCCC method with Hex-ACN (1:1; v/v) system was established. The extraction yield of total triterpenoids reached 17.41 mg/g under the optimal NPCE extraction conditions. The specific four triterpenoids including 3β-hydroxy-lanosta-8, 24-diene-21-al (0.84 mg/g), Inoterpene F (1.09 mg/g), Inotodiol (2.93 mg/g), Lanosterol (1.42 mg/g) were obtained by one step separation with the purities of more than 95%. This is the first report on the preparative separation of triterpenoids from Inonotus obliquus by NPCE-HSCCC.

Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies have recently attracted extensive attention as materials for cancer theranostics. Owing to their unique physicochemical properties, metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies can bridge the boundary between traditional inorganic and organic materials. By tailoring the structural components of the metal ions and binding ligands, numerous multifunctional theranostic nanomedicines can be constructed. Metal-coordinated supramolecular nanoassemblies can modulate the tumor microenvironment (TME), thus facilitating the development of TME-responsive nanomedicines. More importantly, TME-responsive organic–inorganic hybrid nanomaterials can be constructed in vivo by exploiting the metal-coordinated self-assembly of a variety of functional ligands, which is a promising strategy for enhancing the tumor accumulation of theranostic molecules. In this review, recent advancements in the design and fabrication of metal-coordinated supramolecular nanomedicines for cancer theranostics are highlighted. These supramolecular compounds are classified according to the order in which the coordinated metal ions appear in the periodic table. Furthermore, the prospects and challenges of metal-coordinated supramolecular self-assemblies for both technical advances and clinical translation are discussed. In particular, the superiority of TME-responsive nanomedicines for in vivo coordinated self-assembly is elaborated, with an emphasis on strategies that enhance the accumulation of functional components in tumors for an ideal theranostic outcome.

An efficient and ecofriendly extraction and enrichment process from Rosa roxburghii Tratt leaves using a CO2-responsive switchable solvent with ultrasound assistance based on a N,N-dimethyl-cyclohexylamine (DMCHA)/water system was developed in this study. We applied single-factor experiments combined with a Box-Behnken design to obtain the best operation conditions. The optimal parameters were as follows: bubbling CO2 rate of 40 mL/min, bubbling CO2 time of 29 min, and ultrasound time of 11.5 min. The yields of representative roxburic acid, kajiichigoside F1, pomonic acid, catechin, epicatechin, kaempferol, rutin, and quercetin reached 1.31 ± 0.02, 1.89 ± 0.01, 1.62 ± 0.02, 0.56 ± 0.015, 1.24 ± 0.024, 0.074 ± 0.002, 0.13 ± 0.001, and 1.56 ± 0.028 mg/g, respectively. The eight phytochemical extraction efficiencies and contents increased observably compared with traditional extraction methods. This process could achieve 5 cycles of extraction without obvious loss. Moreover, the properties of SHS and their relationship with the eight compounds were investigated by density functional theory. This process is a promising alternative for industrial manufacturing.

Endophytic fungi inside a plant can degrade a portion of plant lignin and cellulose. Endophytic Penicillium is one of the industrial microorganisms with the advantage of producing enzymes with a complete enzyme system that can be secreted into the extracellular space. The natural evolution of ancient tree species from special natural geographic environments to screen out cellulase-producing strains with excellent characteristics provides a promising direction for future industrial enzymes. The present study successfully isolated and screened a novel fungal endophyte, Penicillium oxalicum R4, with higher cellulase activity from Taxus cuspidata. Under the optimized culture conditions obtained by a Box–Behnken design (BBD) and an artificial neural network–genetic algorithm (ANN–GA), yields of Filter Paperase (FPase), Carboxymethyl Cellulase (CMCase) and β-glucosidase (βGLase) produced by P. oxalicum R4 were 1.45, 5.27 and 6.35 U/mL, which were approximately 1.60-fold, 1.59-fold and 2.16-fold higher than those of the non-optimized culture, respectively. The discovery of cellulase-producing strains of endophytic fungi located in special natural geographic environments, such as Taxus cuspidata, which is known as a living plant fossil, provides new research directions for future industrial enzymes.

A microcrystalline cellulose-based temperature sensitivity paclitaxel molecular imprinted hydrogel (MCC-TSMIHs-PTX) was successfully prepared by temperature-sensitive monomer N-isopropylacrylamide, functional monomer 4-vinylpyridine, cross-linking agent N, N′-methylenebisacrylamide and microcrystalline cellulose. They showed imprinting effective responses to the temperature changes. The results of adsorption kinetics, adsorption equilibrium, thermodynamics, selectivity and reusability showed the successful formation of a grafting thermosensitivity hydrogel with higher adsorption capacity and specific recognition. When the temperature reached 308 K, imprinting effect of hydrogel cavities would be most effective and conducive to capture template molecules. When the temperature reached 288 K, the lowest imprinting effect would facilitate the desorption of PTX. Finally, the MCC-TSMIHs-PTX was applied to enrich the paclitaxel in Taxus × media extracts samples, the relative contents of PTX in the samples were increased greatly from 7.23% to 78.32%, indicating the MCC-TSMIHs-PTX was a stable adsorption capacity for efficient separation and enrichment of PTX in Taxus × media extracts.

A comprehensive method for the evaluation of Acanthopanax senticosus (AS) was established by the quantitative analysis of multiple components by single marker (QAMS), fingerprint, similarity analysis (SA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and factor analysis (FA) based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A total of 27 common peaks were identified in the standard fingerprint of 20 batches of AS from different regions in China, of which 8 peaks were identified as protocatechuic acid, syringin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, eleutheroside E, hyperoside, isofrqxidin, and acacetin, and the concentrations of these eight components were determined simultaneously by QAMS. The results showed that the QAMS method was effective and feasible compared with the external standard method (ESM) (RD < 3.3 %, P ≤ 0.01). Sample 1 (S1) was used as the reference chromatogram, the similarity of other samples was between 0.765 and 0.968. Through HCA, AS could be mainly divided into two production areas, the north Liaoning (including Liaoning) and the south Liaoning areas. Furthermore, FA showed that the quality of AS in the north Liaoning area was better than that in the south Liaoning area. In summary, the method established in this study can comprehensively and systematically evaluate quality differences in AS samples, and may be used to help to improve the quality control of AS.

Proline plays a significant role in the plant response to stress conditions. However, its role in alleviating metal-induced stresses remains elusive. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the ameliorative role of exogenous proline on cadmium-induced inhibitory effects in pigeon pea subjected to different Cd treatments (4 and 8 mg/mL). Cadmium treatments reduced photosynthetic attributes, decreased chlorophyll contents, disturbed nutrient uptake, and affected growth traits. The elevated activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase), in association with relatively high contents of hydrogen peroxide, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, electrolyte leakage, and endogenous proline, was measured. Exogenous proline application (3 and 6 mM) alleviated cadmium-induced oxidative damage. Exogenous proline increased antioxidant enzyme activities and improved photosynthetic attributes, nutrient uptake (Mg2+, Ca2+, K+), and growth parameters in cadmium-stressed pigeon pea plants. Our results reveal that proline supplementation can comprehensively alleviate the harmful effects of cadmium on pigeon pea plants.

Calcineurin B‐like (CBL)‐interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) play a central role in Ca2+ signalling and promote drought tolerance in plants. The CIPK gene family in pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.), a major food crop affected by drought, has not previously been characterised. Here, we identified 28 CIPK genes in the pigeon pea genome. Five CcCIPK genes were strongly upregulated in roots upon drought treatment and were selected for further characterisation. Overexpression of CcCIPK13 and CcCIPK14 increased survival rates by 2‐ to 3‐fold relative to controls after 14 days of drought. Furthermore, the three major flavonoids, genistin, genistein, and apigenin, were significantly upregulated in the same transgenic plants. Using CcCIPK14 as bait, we performed a yeast two‐hybrid screen and identified six interactors, including CcCBL1. CcCIPK14 exhibited autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of CcCBL1 in vitro. CcCBL1‐overexpressed plants displayed higher survival rates upon drought stress as well as higher expression of flavonoid biosynthetic genes and flavonoid content. CcCIPK14‐overexpressed plants in which CcCBL1 transcript levels were reduced by RNA interference had lower survival rates, which indicated CcCBL1 in the same pathway as CcCIPK14. Together, our results demonstrate a role for the CcCIPK14‐CcCBL1 complex in drought stress tolerance through the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in pigeon pea.

Flavonoids and lignin are valuable phytochemicals derived from plant secondary metabolism and play important roles in regulating multiple plant developmental processes and signaling networks. The biosynthetic pathways leading to flavonoids and lignin are known to be originated from the general phenylpropanoid pathway. Key regulators controlling the pathway structural genes have been isolated from many species. However, cooperative regulations of flavonoid and lignin biosynthesis and the resulting effects on the carbon flow in the general phenylpropanoid pathway have not systematically summarized and discussed. New discoveries have begun to reveal that the biosynthesis of flavonoids and lignin are linked through transcription regulatory networks sharing certain specific regulators, such as transcription factors, mediators and microRNAs. This review article summarizes recent progress on function and mechanism of these regulators and assesses how they co-modulate the biosynthesis of flavonoids and lignin. A simplified discussion for the different co-regulation networks involved with flavonoid and lignin biosynthesis is proposed.

An active and recyclable magnetic biobased heteropolyacid catalyst (HPW-MCMs) was prepared for the high yield of transesterification of Pistacia chinensis seed oil (PCO). The magnetic cellulose microspheres (MCMs) were used as the supporter, and the phosphotungstic acid (HPW) was synthesized in surface and micropores via in-situ reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and diffraction of X-ray (XRD) were fully used to characterize the catalyst. Furthermore, the conditions of 600 W of microwave power, 65 °C of temperature, 6 wt. % of catalyst amount, 8 of methanol/oil ratio and 30 min of reaction time were selected as the optimal conditions. Under the conditions, a high conversion of 96.6 % could be obtained. The HPW-MCMs could also be recovered conveniently and efficiently recycled for six cycles. Therefore, the prepared HPW-MCMs would be potentially useful for the efficient and economic transesterification reaction of PCO.

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are a class of proteins found in living organisms that mediate transmembrane transport by hydrolyzing ATP. They play a vital role in the physiological processes of growth and development in plants. The most numerous sub-type transporter in the ABC transporter family is the ABCG group and which have the most complex function in a plant’s response to abiotic stresses. Our study focused on the effect of ABCG transporters in the adaptation of the pigeon pea to adverse environments (such as drought, salt, temperature, etc.). We conducted a functional analysis of ABCG transporters in the pigeon pea and their role in response to abiotic stresses. A total of 51 ABCG genes (CcABCGs) were identified, and phylogenetic analysis was conducted. We also identified the physicochemical properties of the encoded proteins, predicted their subcellular localization, and identified of the conserved domains. Expression analysis showed that ABCG genes have different expression profiles with tissues and abiotic stresses. Our results showed that CcABCG28 was up-regulated at low temperatures, and CcABCG7 was up-regulated with drought and aluminum stress. The initial results revealed that ABCG transporters are more effective in the abiotic stress resistance of pigeon peas, which improves our understanding of their application in abiotic stress resistance.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound widely present in plants, which has been widely used in in food additives, beverages, cosmetics and other fields. Whereas, the applicability of resveratrol is limited since it mainly exits in glycosylated form namely polydatin. In the present study, a novel biotransformation strategy was created to produce resveratrol from P. cuspidatum by magnetically immobilized Bacillus natto strains. The biotransformation conditions were statistically investigated though Box-Behnken design (BBD) with three-factor based on single-factor experiments. The optimal conditions were obtained as follows: treated temperature 37 ℃, fermented time 46 h and immobilized beads/solid ratio of 1.4 g/g. After biotransformation, the maximum biotransformation rate of polydatin reached 98.60 %, and the resveratrol yield achieved 11.27 mg/g, which was 18.18-fold to untreated one. In addition, the recovered magnetically immobilized Bacillus natto strains was still obtained 15.47-fold resveratrol yield to that of unfermented one after 3 runs. The new method established in this work could be a sustainable and effective biotransformation technology for resveratrol production from plant.

Actin depolymerising factor (ADF) is an actin binding protein that is ubiquitous in animal and plant cells. It plays an important role in plant growth and development, as well as resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. The research of plant ADF family has been restricted to Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. and some herb crops, but no woody cash crops have been reported to date. All members of the Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. ADF (CcADF) family were identified from the pigeon pea genome, and distributed among the four subfamilies by phylogenetic analysis. CcADFs were relatively conservative in gene structure evolution, protein structure and functional expression, and different CcADFs showed specific expression patterns under different treatments. The expression characteristics of several key CcADFs were revealed by analysing the stress response pattern of CcADFs and the time series RNA-seq of aluminium stress. Among them, CcADF9 in the first subgroup specifically responded to aluminium stress in the roots; CcADF3 in the second subgroup intensively responded to fungal infection in the leaves; and CcADF2 in the fourth subgroup positively responded to various stress treatments in different tissues. This study extended the relationship between plant ADF family and aluminium tolerance, as well as adding to the understanding of CcADF family in woody crops.

Establishing an efficient and eco-friendly extraction method of bioactive ingredients from plant materials is highly needed to insure a better human health by combating different diseases. In this work, a two-phase system formed by green and recyclable menthol-based hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent (DES) aqueous was synthesized and evaluated its application for simultaneous extraction of seven main target taxanes in the Taxus chinese needles. The formation of micelles from two-phase system in the menthol-based DES aqueous simultaneously enhanced the mass transfer and enrichment for target taxanes. Under the optimal conditions of menthol/1-butanol ratio 1:1 (mol/mol), water content 50%, solid-liquid ratio 1:30 g/mL, extraction time 30 min and ultrasonic power 250 W, the extraction yields of seven main taxanes were 1.27–2.65 folds higher than the conventional organic solvents. The recovery yields after enrichment with the two-phase system of the menthol-based DES aqueous were higher than 95.31%. Furthermore, the menthol-based DES aqueous could be recycled at least three times with perfect extraction efficiency for target compounds. This work proved that the natural menthol-based DES aqueous solution is an effective and non-toxic green extraction solvent, which has the potential to effectively extract phytochemicals from plant materials in the future.

In this work, an efficient and environmentally friendly extraction process was proposed to simultaneously obtain iridoids and phenolic acids from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver leaves (EUL). Namely, the integrated microwave-assisted ternary deep eutectic solvent extraction (TDES-MAE), which was firstly applied to extract compounds from EUL for the first time. In the tailor-made TDES system, tiny ascorbic acid (Vc) was added to modify the acidity of the binary deep eutectic solvents (BDES)composed of a 1:2 molar ratio of Choline chloride/1,4-butanediol)to form TDES, which possess a higher extraction yield than BDES. Some factors including DES types, molar ratio,water content and selection of hydrogen bond donor (HBD) were investigated to get the superior TDES solvent. Then Box-Behnken design was implemented to acquire the optimum conditions, such as extraction time, extraction temperature, liquid-solid ratio were optimized by using response surface methodology (RSM). Under the optimal conditions ,extraction efficiency of the TDES-MAE was significantly increased and 1.4-fold to the traditional method. Meanwhile, the excellent recovery and the antioxidant activity shown that the extraction system based on tailor-made TDES was economically productive and efficient for extracting more beneficial products from plants.

In the present study, an integrated process for preparation of anthocyanins components from blue honeysuckle fruits using deep eutectic solvent-based negative pressure cavitation extraction (DES-NPCE) was explored rationally. Single factor optimization combined with Box-Behnken Design (BBD) were applied to confirm the influential parameters. The maximum extraction yields of total anthocyanins and main constituent cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) reached 6.601 mg/g and 4.839 mg/g, which were 1.197–1.565 folds of other conventional methods. Moreover, the anthocyanins products exhibited higher stability from DES-NPCE extraction than that of conventional extraction solvents, which was conducive to the preservation and utilization of anthocyanins. After enrichment with macroporous resin D101, the contents of total anthocyanins and C3G reached 25.72% and 19.05%, and the recovery yields were 81.35% and 82.24%, respectively. Furthermore, the anthocyanins products exhibited more powerful chemical and cellular antioxidant activities, which were similar or stronger than that of positive control Vc or BHT. These results revealed that the proposed process was definitely an efficient and sustainable strategy for the stabilization preparation of thermo sensitive biologically active natural products. The developed method has also proved to have sufficient potential for application in food, nutrition and pharmaceutical industries.

A novel approach for synchronous extraction and enrichment of hydrophilic component and hydrophobic component with CO2-based switchable-solvent (SHS) from pigeon pea leaves was developed in the present study. After screening of SHS, N, N-dimethyl-cyclohexylamine (DMCHA)/water system was selected as the properest SHS for the extraction and enrichment process. To optimize this process, we conducted single factor experiments with the Box-Behnken design. The optimal parameters were as follows: solid-liquid ratio R(S/L) 40:1 (mg/mL), ultrasound time 15 min and bubbling CO2 time 79 min (0.5 mL/s). Under the circumstances, the extraction yields of representative flavonoid vitexin and stilbene cajaninstilbenes acid (CSA) reached 1.80±0.12mg/g and 9.32±0.08 mg/g, respectively, which were 1.06 and 1.49 folds to those by the traditional methods. And the contents of target compounds vitexin and CSA in the enriched extracts were 2.3% and 12.1%, which increased above 6.76 and 4.58 folds to that in extracts using 65% ethanol-UAE. And the results suggested that the N, N-dimethyl-cyclohexylamine (DMCHA)/water system can be guaranteed for at least 5 cycles with relatively stable extraction yields of vitexin and CSA. Furthermore, a theoretical study using density functional theory was put into effect to explore the properties of SHS and their relationship with the vitexin and CSA. The mechanism study showed that SHS had higher biocompatibility with target compounds due to the H-bonds. The present method was an eco-friendly, promising, and sustainable alternative to extract and enrich simultaneously hydrophilic and hydrophobic phytochemicals from plant materials.
