Research Status of Chinese Medicinal Herbs Zexie (Rhizoma Alismatis) and Its Enlightenment to TCM Development in Guangxi

In this paper,the scientific research status of Zexie(Rhizoma Alismatis)was comprehensively expounded from the aspects of plant characteristics,source,chemical composition,pharmacological research and quality control methods,etc.The market situation of Rhizoma Alismatis was systematically analyzed from historical and current perspectives;aiming at the problems of poor quality and irregular processing of Chinese medicinal herbs Rhizoma Alismatis,some ideas were put forward to improve the quality and market value of medicinal materials of Rhizoma Alismatis,so as to make the Chinese herbal medicine industry develop towards a healthy and efficient direction.

Determination of Adulteration Dye Auramine O in Gegen Qinlian Tablets by HPLC-MS/MS

[Objectives]This study aimed to establish a method for determination of adulteration dye auramine O in Gegen Qinlian tablets by HPLC-MS/MS.[Methods]The instrument conditions were as follows:column,Agilent Eclipse plus C18(2.1 mm×100 mm,1.8μm);mobile phase,acetonitrile-0.01 mol/L ammonium acetate;gradient elution;flow rate,0.3 mL/min;column temperature,35℃;injection volume,2μL;ion source,electrospray ionization source(ESI);and scanning mode,multiple reaction monitoring(MRM).[Results]Methodological validation shows that auramine O had a good linear relationship in the range of 0.0934-1.869 pg(r=0.9999),and the average recovery rate was 94.38%(RSD=3.60%,n=9).[Conclusions]The method established is accurate,convenient,precise,reproducible,and stable,with good linear relationship,and it can be used determine the content of adulteration dye auramine O in Gegen Qinlian tablets.

Development, identification and utilization of introgression lines using Chinese endemic and synthetic wheat as donors

Chromosome segmental introgression lines（ILs）are an effective way to utilize germplasm resources in crops.To improve agronomic traits of wheat cultivar（Triticum aestivum） Shi 4185, four sets of ILs were developed. The donors were Chinese endemic subspecies accessions Yunnan wheat（T. aestivum ssp. yunnanense） YN3, Tibetan semiwild wheat（T. aestivum ssp. tibetanum） XZ-ZM19450, and Xinjiang wheat（T. aestivum ssp. petropavlovskyi） XJ5, and synthetic wheat HC-XM1620 derived from a cross between T. durum acc. D67.2/P66.270 with Aegilops tauschii acc. 218.Totals of 356, 366, 445 and 457 simple sequence repeat（SSR）markers were polymorphic between Shi 4185 and YN3, XZZM19450, XJ5 and HC-XM1620, respectively. In total, 991 ILs were identified, including 300 derived from YN3, covering 95%of the genome of Shi 4185, 218 from XZ-ZM19450（79%）, 279 from XJ5（97%）, and 194 from HC-ZX1620（84%）. The sizes and locations of each introgression were determined from a consensus SSR linkage map. Using the ILs, 11 putative Resear quantitative trait loci（QTLs） were identified for plant height（PH）, spike length（SL） and grain number per spike（GNS）.Comparative analyses of 24 elite ILs with the parents revealed that the four donor parents could be important resources to improve wheat SL and GNS. Our work offers a case for utilizing endemic landraces for QTL mapping and improvement of wheat cultivars using introgression lines.
