Project description:Glycyrrhiza uralensis is a tradational Chinese medicine of Leguminosae, which contains many chemicals, such as glycyrrhizin, liquiritin glycyrol, melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine), glycyrrhizol A, glycyrrhizol B and four known isoflavonoids (5-O-methylglycryol, isoglycyrol, 6,8-diisoprenyl-5,7,4'-trihydroxy isoflavone, gancaonin). Illumina paired-end reads data was used to assemble the complete chloroplast (cp) genome. About 15,445,866 raw Paired-End Reads and the length distribution in 127,702 bp (GC content accounts for 34.3%). Eight PCG genes and six tRNA genes possess a single intron, while ycf3 has a couple of introns. Based on the concatenated coding sequences of cp PCGs, the phylogenetic analysis showed that Glycyrrhiza uralensis and Glycyrrhiza inflata (MH321931) are closely related to each other within the family Leguminosae.

Project description:Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is known as a common Chinese medicinal herb used to harmonize the effects of other ingredients in most Chinese herbal prescriptions. The rapid production of flavonoids in vitro remains unknown in G. uralensis Fisch. To investigate the in vitro adventitious root regeneration and flavonoid accumulation characteristics in G. uralensis for restrictions on collecting wild plants, suspension cultural and freezing microtomy with histochemical assays were carried out. We reported that multiple adventitious roots were initiated from hypocotyls and stems of G. uralensis. Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was more conducive than NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) in inducing G. uralensis adventitious roots, but the addition of 6-BA (6-benzylaminopurine) and KT (kinetin) suppressed the formation of adventitious roots. While the concentration of IBA was 1.0 mg L-1, the flavonoid content and yield were the highest at 19.96 mg g-1 and 1.23 mg g-1, respectively. The optimum medium for adventitious root induction was 1/4-strength Murashige and Skoog's medium containing 0.1 mg L-1 IBA. The content of flavonoids in adventitious roots and apicals cultured in vitro was higher than that in suspension callus, reaching 3.87 times the callus flavonoid content. The histochemical localization of flavonoids showed that G. uralensis flavonoids mainly distributed in the epidermal parenchyma cells of the callus outer layers and gradually accumulated in cell wall and cell gaps of the epidermis and endodermis of adventitious roots along with the primary growth of adventitious roots, indicating that there were no flavonoids in the roots at the early stage of adventitious roots formation. The results showed that calli inducing adventitious roots and apicals for 30 days obtained the highest yield of flavonoid, indicating effective production for flavonoids instead of wild culture. AlCl3 ethanol solution was better than NaOH aqueous solution in terms of chromogenic and localization effects. We concluded that the highest yield of flavonoid and effective production for flavonoid instead of wild culture could be obtained from calli inducing adventitious roots and apicals.

Project description:Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is used in large quantities in traditional Chinese medicine. It contains flavonoids, saponins, and polysaccharides, with flavonoids being the main active ingredients. In this study, flavonoids were isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. grown in 21 areas in China by water extraction, alcohol precipitation, polyamide resin separation, and other methods. Fingerprints were established by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). There were 15 common peaks in the fingerprints by similarity evaluations of the chromatographic fingerprints. The spectrum-effect relationships between the HPLC fingerprints and pharmacological activities of flavonoids in G. uralensis Fisch., including the heat clearing, detoxifying effects, cough relief, and phlegm elimination effects, were assessed by gray relational analysis and partial least squares regression. After HPLC-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and standard comparison, these five identified compounds (liquiritin apioside, neoisoliquiritin, licochalcone A, licochalcone B, and licochalcone C) could be used to evaluate licorice quality with regard to its efficacy. This research provides a scientific basis for improving licorice quality and also establishes a model for modernization of traditional Chinese medicines.

Project description:Licorice is an important traditional Chinese medicine with clinical and industrial applications. Genetic resources of licorice are insufficient for analysis of molecular biology and genetic functions; as such, transcriptome sequencing must be conducted for functional characterization and development of molecular markers. In this study, transcriptome sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform generated a total of 5.41 Gb clean data. De novo assembly yielded a total of 46,641 unigenes. Comparison analysis using BLAST showed that the annotations of 29,614 unigenes were conserved. Further study revealed 773 genes related to biosynthesis of secondary metabolites of licorice, 40 genes involved in biosynthesis of the terpenoid backbone, and 16 genes associated with biosynthesis of glycyrrhizic acid. Analysis of unigenes larger than 1 Kb with a length of 11,702 nt presented 7,032 simple sequence repeats (SSR). Sixty-four of 69 randomly designed and synthesized SSR pairs were successfully amplified, 33 pairs of primers were polymorphism in in Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat., Glycyrrhiza glabra L. and Glycyrrhiza pallidiflora Maxim. This study not only presents the molecular biology data of licorice but also provides a basis for genetic diversity research and molecular marker-assisted breeding of licorice.

Project description:Licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch) flavonoids have many pharmacological effects, as the main chemical component of licorice, its content directly affects the quality of licorice. Methyl jasmine (MeJA) is an important signaling molecule in the secondary metabolic pathway of plants, but the biological mechanisms that stimulating the production of licorice flavonoids and the related changes in transcriptome are still less studied. In this research, the expression of two key enzyme genes: Chalcone synthase (CHS) and Cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) in the biosynthesis pathway of licorice flavonoids was determined, and it was significantly different after 9 hours of MeJA induction. The transcriptome profiles of licorice cells at 9 hours after MeJA treatment were analyzed to investigate the transcriptional alterations of licorice cell in response to MeJA elicitation by “RNA-seq”. 151, 529 transcripts (200 bp in length) of cDNA from the samples were generated, and 116, 907 unigenes were found. MeJA appeared to stimulate a large number of genes involved in several relevant functional categories, such as carbohydrate metabolism and encoding transcription factors, 11 MYB transcription factors expressed significant differences were screened. This comprehensive description of gene expression information could help elucidate the molecular mechanism of MeJA-mediated biosynthesis of licorice flavonoids and MeJA-regulated network formation.

Project description:Background Soil salinization leads to a significant decline in crop yield and quality, including licorice, an important medicinal cash crop. Studies have proofed that the application of exogenous silicon can significantly improve the ability of licorice to resist salt stress, however, few studies concentrated on the effects of foliar silicon application on the morphology, physiological characteristics, and anatomical structure of licorice leaves under salt stress. In this study, the effects of Si (K2SiO3) on the structural and physiological characteristics of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. and G. inflata Bat. leaves under different salt concentrations (medium- and high-salt) were studied. Results Compared with the control (without salt), the plant height, total dry weight, leaf area, leaf number, relative water content, xylem area, phloem area, ratio of palisade to spongy tissue, gas exchange parameters, and photosynthetic pigment content of both licorice varieties were significantly reduced under high-salt (12S) conditions. However, the thickness of the leaf, palisade tissue, and spongy tissue increased significantly. Applying Si to the leaf surface increased the area of the vascular bundle, xylem, and parenchyma of the leaf’s main vein, promoted water transportation, enhanced the relative leaf water content, and reduced the decomposition of photosynthetic pigments. These changes extended the area of photosynthesis and promoted the production and transportation of organic matter. G. uralensis had a better response to Si application than did G. inflata. Conclusions In conclusion, foliar application of Si can improve water absorption, enhance photosynthesis, improve photosynthetic capacity and transpiration efficiency, promote growth and yield, and alleviate the adverse effects of salt stress on the leaf structure of the two kinds of licorice investigated.
