GARDNER, B.S., LESLEY UNIVERSITY M.S., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by: Professor Lyle E. Craker Demand for Chinese medicinal herbs in the U.S. is increasing and American acupuncturists and farmers are interested in domestic production of these plants. Little is known about the feasibility of production of these species outside of China. Four species of herbs were selected for cultivation trials. The purposes of this research were to evaluate the feasibility of cultivation of these species in the northeastern United States, to develop basic agronomic data for each species, and to determine the effects of nitrogen fertilizer on plant growth, yield, and secondary metabolites. Agastache rugosa , Schizonepeta tenuifolia , Leonurus japonicus , and Leonurus sibiricus were grown in a randomized complete block design with 0, 100, or 200 kg/ha of nitrogen (N). At 100 kg/ha of N, a significant increase in yield of all species was observed as compared to the 0 kg/ha control. Yields of A. rugosa and both Leonurus species increased significantly again at 200 kg/ha of N as compared to 100 kg/ha, while the increase in yield between these two levels was slight for S. tenuifolia . Amendment with 100 or 200 kg/ha of N significantly increased concentration of the alkaloid leonurine in Leonurus plant material as compared to the untreated control. L. sibiricus had higher concentrations of leonurine at all levels of treatment than L. heterophyllus . At 200 kg/ha of N, L. sibiricus had leonurine levels that were similar to commercial samples produced in China. No significant effects of N on essential oil content of A. rugosa or S. tenuifolia were observed. Drying temperature significantly affected the vi quantity of essential oil in A. rugosa or S. tenuifolia, with significant losses of essential oil occurring at 60 and 71 ºC and retention of essential oil occurring at 38 and 49 ºC. This study demonstrated that the selected species may be produced in the northeastern United States and that amendment with N has a positive effect on plant yields and in some cases on the active compounds in the dried plant material. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ................................................................................................. iv ABSTRACT ....................................................................................................................... vi LIST OF TABLES ...............................................................................................................x LIST OF FIGURES .......................................................................................................... xii CHAPTER 1.

Sneezing has exerted a strange fascination on humans throughout history, and induced sneezing was widely used by physicians for therapeutic purposes, on the assumption that sneezing eliminates noxious factors from the body, mainly from the head. The present contribution examines the various mixtures used for inducing sneezes (remedia sternutatoria) over the centuries. The majority of the constituents of the sneeze-inducing remedies are modulators of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. The TRP channel superfamily consists of large heterogeneous groups of channels that play numerous physiological roles such as thermosensation, chemosensation, osmosensation and mechanosensation. Sneezing is associated with the activation of the wasabi receptor, (TRPA1), typical ligand is allyl isothiocyanate and the hot chili pepper receptor, (TRPV1), typical agonist is capsaicin, in the vagal sensory nerve terminals, activated by noxious stimulants.

  • Effects of Salt Stress on Plant Growth, Antioxidant Capacity, Glandular Trichome Density, and Volatile Exudates of Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Briq
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article Effects of Salt Stress on Plant Growth, Antioxidant Capacity, Glandular Trichome Density, and Volatile Exudates of Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq. Ying Zhou, Nanyu Tang, Lijin Huang, Yongjuan Zhao, Xiaoqing Tang * and Kangcai Wang * College of Horticulture, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China; [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (N.T.); [email protected] (L.H.); [email protected] (Y.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (X.T.); [email protected] (K.W.); Tel./Fax: +86-25-8439-5150 (X.T.) Received: 6 December 2017; Accepted: 11 January 2018; Published: 15 January 2018 Abstract: Salinity is a major abiotic factor affecting plant growth and secondary metabolism. However, no information is available about its effects on Schizonepeta tenuifolia Briq., a traditional Chinese herb. Here, we investigated the changes of plant growth, antioxidant capacity, glandular trichome density, and volatile exudates of S. tenuifolia exposed to salt stress (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mM NaCl). Results showed that its dry biomass was reduced by salt treatments except 25 mM NaCl. Contents of antioxidants, including phenolics and flavonoids, increased at low (25 mM) or moderate (50 mM) levels, but declined at severe (75 and 100 mM) levels. On leaf surfaces, big peltate and small capitate glandular trichomes (GTs) were found. Salt treatments, especially at moderate and severe concentrations, enhanced the density of total GTs on both leaf sides. The most abundant compound in GT volatile exudates was pulegone. Under salinity, relative contents of this component and other monoterpenes decreased significantly; biosynthesis and accumulation of esters were enhanced, particularly sulfurous acid,2-ethylhexyl hexyl ester, which became the second major compound as salinity increased.

To reduce heavy metal pollution, it is necessary to solve the problem from the source to ensure environmental quality during medicinal material production. We use low- accumulating and non-low-accumulating medicinal plants to remediate soil contaminated by Cd and Pb. This experiment aims to study the amino acid levels in root exudates, to study antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde (MDA) in leaves, and to discuss the detoxification mechanisms of low- accumulating and non-low-accumulating medicinal plants under Cd and Pb stress.

Enrichment factor (EF) and translocation factor (TF) levels were calculated to determine which are low-accumulating medicinal plants with respect to Cd or Pb. The relationships between the amino acid levels in root exudates, the levels of antioxidant enzymes, the present heavy metal species, heavy metal concentrations, and plant species were discussed. Under Pb and Cd stress, the total amounts of amino acids secreted by plant roots and the level of each amino acid were associated with the heavy metal concentrations and plant Received 27th September 2020 species.

However, the active ingredients and pharmacological targets of A. rugosa are unknown. In this study, we aimed to reveal the pharmacological effects of A. rugosa on gastritis by combining a mice model and a network pharmacology method. The macrophage and gastritis-induced models were used to evaluate the pharmacological effects of A. rugosa. The results show that A. rugosa relieved mucosal damage induced by HCl/EtOH in vivo. Network analysis identified 99 components in A. rugosa; six components were selected through systematic screening, and five components were linked to 45 gastritis-related genes. The main components were acacetin and luteolin, and the identified core genes were AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1), nuclear factor kappa B inhibitor alpha (NFKBIA), and mitogen-activated protein kinase-3 (MAPK3) etc.
