In this paper, 624 taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites in the complete chloroplast genome of 3 species from the genus Pueraria DC. were used as molecular traits to identify successfully the genetic resources of this plant genus and compile a molecular classification key for the first time. There are differences in aspects of amount and base composition of taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites among the species. The amount of taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites in Pueraria edulis Pamp. (576) is the highest, those in Pueraria montana var. thomsonii (Benth.) M.R. Almeida (38) and Pueraria montana (Lour.) Merr. (10) are significantly fewer. The proportion of T (26.91%), A (26.04%), C (24.13%) and G (22.92%) is decreasing respectively but with small differences among taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites in Pueraria edulis Pamp. The proportion of T (39.47%) is the highest, followed by C (26.32%), A (18.42%) and G (15.79%) in taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites in Pueraria montana var. thomsonii, the proportion of T is 2.5 times that of G. Relatively, the amount of taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites is fewer in Pueraria montana, where the proportion of T (50.00%) is the highest, being 2.5 times that (20.00%) of A or G, and 5 times that (10.00%) of C. Our results indicated that taxon-specific variable nucleotide sites from the chloroplast genomes could be used for the molecular classification of the genetic diversity in the genus Pueraria resources. In this paper, the status of Pueraria plant specimens collected in the past 120 years in China is investigated and problems and possible strategies are discussed. This study is valuable for taxonomic revision, conservation and utilization of Pueraria plant germplasm resources.展开更多

Methods The static and dynamic adsorption/desorption methods were used, and the separation and purification process was evaluated by measuring the concentration of total flavonoid in the fractions with UV spectrophotometer. Results The SP70 macroporous resin was the most effective compared with other macroporous resins. The optimum conditions were screened, which were 0.5 g· mL^- 1 corresponding to crude drug for concentration of extract, pH 5 - 6, and appended 60 times the volume of the resin bed (BV) with the adsorption speed 2 BV·h^-1, and the volume of aq. 70% (V/V) ethanol as eluant was 5 BV with desorption speed 2 BV·h^-1. By this method, the final contents of total flavonoids exceeded 80%. Conclusion The SP70 macroporous resin is the most effective one for large-scale isolation and purification of flavonoids from Radix Pueraria, which meets industrial needs.展开更多

It is commonly employed to relievefever and dysentery, promote the production of body fluid, reduce stiffness and pain of the nape,and for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, e. g. hypertension, myocardial infarction, andarrhythmia. Previous phytochemical studies on P. lobata reported a number of bioactive isoflavones,e. g. daidzein, daidzin, and puerarin. Further investigation of its root has led to isolation offourteen compounds and their structures were identified as daidzein, ononin, daidzin, 3'' -methoxypuerarin, puerarin, pueroside B, daidzein-8-C-apiosyl- (1-6)-glucoside, 3''-hydroxy-puerarin,puerarinxyloside, daidzein-7, 4'' -O-glucoside, puerarin-4''-O-glucoside, mirificin-4''-O-glucoside,sissotorin, and pueroside C.
