Project description:Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil microbes that can promote plant growth and/or increase plant resistance to one or multiple stress conditions. These natural resources are environmentally friendly tools for reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and for improving the nutritional quality of plants, including pharmacological metabolites. Coriander (Coriandrum sativumL.), commonly known as cilantro or Chinese parsley, is a worldwide culinary and medicinal plant with both nutritional and medicinal properties. Little is known about how PGPR may promote plant growth or affect metabolite profiles in coriander. Here, by usingAeromonassp. H1 that is a PGPR strain, we investigate how coriander yield and quality could be affected by PGPR with transcriptome insights.
Project description:The alkaloid, sinomenine (SIN),7,8-didehydro-4-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-one (C19H23NO4), was extracted from the rhizome of the Chinese medicinal plant, Sinomenium acutum (Thunb.) Rehd. et Wils. andS. acutum (Thunb.) Rehd. et Wils. Var. cinereum Rehd. et Wils.SIN has antiinflammatory, analgesic,immunosuppressive,antihypertensive, and antiarrhythmic effects. It has been used totreat rheumatoid diseases in humans.Our laboratory has shown that SIN can attenuate the inflammation in dextran sulfate-induced colitis, but it is unclear in metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
