The complete chloroplast genome sequence of three medicinal species; Curcuma longa, Curcuma wenyujin, and Curcuma phaeocaulis (Zingiberaceae).

Project description:Curcuma longa, C. wenyujin and C. phaeocaulis are important herbal medicine which of rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the family Zingiberaceae. This study generated a complete chloroplast genome sequence of three medicinal species were characterized by de novo assembly with whole genome sequencing data. The length of complete chloroplast genome were 162,180 bp (C. longa), 162,266 bp (C. wenyujin), and 162,133 bp (C. phaeocaulis), respectively, with four structures that were included in large single copy region (87,001 bp, 87,042 bp, and 87,013 bp), small single copy region (15,681 bp, 15,710 bp, and 15,622 bp), and duplicated inverted regions (29,749 bp, 29,757 bp and 29,749 bp of each). Based on phylogenetic trees, C. longa, C. wenyujin, and C. phaeocaulis were grouped by high bootstrap value with Curcuma species. This result approved that C. longa, C. wenyujin and C. phaeocaulis were comprised in Alpinia and Wurfbainia. Therefore, this chloroplast genome data firstly generated valuable genetic resource in discrimination of herbal materials, phylogeny and development DNA marker.

Hepatic metabolic effects of Curcuma longa extract supplement in high-fructose and saturated fat fed rats.

Project description:The metabolic effects of an oral supplementation with a Curcuma longa extract, at a dose nutritionally relevant with common human use, on hepatic metabolism in rats fed a high fructose and saturated fatty acid (HFS) diet was evaluated. High-resolution magic-angle spinning NMR and GC/MS in combination with multivariate analysis have been employed to characterize the NMR metabolite profiles and fatty acid composition of liver tissue respectively. The results showed a clear discrimination between HFS groups and controls involving metabolites such as glucose, glycogen, amino acids, acetate, choline, lysophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and β-hydroxybutyrate as well as an increase of MUFAs and a decrease of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs. Although the administration of CL did not counteract deleterious effects of the HFS diet, some metabolites, namely some n-6 PUFA and n-3 PUFA, and betaine were found to increase significantly in liver samples from rats having received extract of curcuma compared to those fed the HFS diet alone. This result suggests that curcuminoids may affect the transmethylation pathway and/or osmotic regulation. CL extract supplementation in rats appears to increase some of the natural defences preventing the development of fatty liver by acting on the choline metabolism to increase fat export from the liver.

The Complete Genome Sequence of Curcuma longa (Zingiberaceae, Zingiberales), Turmeric.

Project description:Curcuma longa is a perennial native to India and Southeast Asia. We present the whole genome sequence of this species. Illumina paired-end reads were assembled by a de novo method followed by a finishing step. The raw and assembled data are publicly available via GenBank: Sequence Read Archive (SRR11229490) and assembled genome (JAOBBC000000000).
