Its attractive enormous serrated lobed leaves emerge indian red in spring, turning dark green in colour with curious purple undersides. The foliage often turns cherry red in fall. The fruit is not ornamentally significant. Landscape Attributes Rote Auslese Ornamental Rhubarb is an herbaceous perennial with a rigidly upright and towering form. Its wonderfully bold, coarse texture can be very effective in a balanced garden composition. This plant will require occasional maintenance and upkeep, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics. Rote Auslese Ornamental Rhubarb is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Vertical Accent - General Garden Use - Bog Gardens Planting & Growing Rote Auslese Ornamental Rhubarb will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity extending to 6 feet tall with the flowers, with a spread of 5 feet. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It is quite adaptable, prefering to grow in average to wet conditions, and will even tolerate some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.

    IJAS_39192 Vol 8, Issue 6, 2020 ISSN- 2321-6832 Review Article GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PHYTOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF RHEUM PALMATUM (CHINESE RHUBARB) AAMIR KHAN KHATTAK, SYEDA MONA HASSAN, SHAHZAD SHARIF MUGHAL* Department of Chemistry, Lahore Garrison University, Lahore, Pakistan, Email: [email protected] Received: 21 July 2020 , Revised and Accepted: 11 October 2020 ABSTRACT Recent probe of medicinal plants incorporated in traditional systems for curing infection and sustaining holistic health, has exposed good sum of therapeutic efficiency against deleterious infections and chronic illnesses. Rheum palmatum (Chinese Rhubarb, family Polygonaceae) is a significant medicinal herb, which finds an extensive use in Unani (Traditional) system of medicine. It has been traditionally employed as antiseptic, liver stimulant, diuretic, diabetes, stomachic, purgative/cathartic, anticholesterolemic, antitumor, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, tonic, antidiabetic, and wound healer. The most vital components from Rheum palmatum are the phenolics, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, and anthraquinone derivatives such as aloe- emodin, chrysophanol, physcion, rhein, emodin and its glucorhein, and glycoside. Rhubarb also contains tannins which include hydrolysable-tannins, containing glycosidic or ester bonds composed of glucose, gallic acid, and other monosaccharide’s and condensed tannins, resulting principally from the flavone derivatives leukocyanidin and catechin. In recent years, new components such asrevandchinone-1, revandchinone-2, revandchinone-3, revandchinone-4, sulfemodin8-O-b-Dglucoside, and 6-methyl-rhein and aloe-emodin have been reported from the same class. It also encompasses some macro and micro mineral elements such as Ca, K, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Na, Cu, and Li. Anthraquinone derivatives demonstrate evidence of anti- microbial, antifungal, anti-proliferative, anti-Parkinson’s, immune enhancing, anticancer, antiulcer, antioxidant, and antiviral activities.

This botanical treasure trove is under growing pressure from a complex chain of cause and effect of unprecedented magnitude: demographic, socio-economic and climatic changes, habitat conversion and loss, unsustainable use of native species and introduction of exotic ones, together with environmental contamination are rapidly transforming China’s ecosystems. There is a steady rise in the number of plant species that are on the verge of extinction. Great Wall, Badaling, Beijing (Image: Zhang Qingyuan) Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) therefore seeks to assist China in its endeavours to maintain and conserve the country’s extraordinary botanical heritage and the benefits that this biological diversity provides for human well-being. It is a challenging venture and represents one of BGCI’s core practical conservation programmes.

François MALAISSE1, William CLAUS2, Pelma DROLKAR3, Rinchen LOPSANG3, Lakpa WANGDU3 & Françoise MATHIEU4 Résumé: Ethnomycologie et ethnobotanique des Ü (Tibet centro-méridional).- Diversité, y compris deux thèmes méconnus: plantes tinctoriales et encens. Dans le cadre d’un programme consacré à la prévention et la recherche sur la maladie des Gros Os et mis en œuvre par la Kashin-Beck Disease Fund en Région Autonome du Tibet (R.P. Chine), une étude écologique a été développée dans la partie centro-méridionale au cours de 8 séjours de 2 à 3 semaines (1998- 2007). Elle a permis de dégager, puis de renforcer l’intérêt d’une approche agro-environnementale dans la compréhension et la prévention de cette maladie. Parallèlement, la connaissance ethnomycologique et ethnobotanique des Ü-Tsang de ce territoire a été recensée. Au-delà de la connaissance bien documentée des plantes médicinales et de l’ethnopharmacologie, connaissance qui sera très brièvement rappelée, l’étude a abordé des thèmes méconnus, tels que la reconnaissance des unités de végétation, la diversité des nourritures alternatives (champignons, herbes potagères, épices, plantes aromatiques, condiments, organes souterrains, fleurs et fruits charnus consommés), l’utilisation des plantes en phytotechnie et pour le bien-être domestique. Une attention particulière a été consacrée aux plantes tinctoriales et à celles utilisées pour l’encens. Enfin, les menaces pesant sur cette biodiversité sont dégagées et des suggestions pour une meilleure gestion sont énoncées.

To assess the potential, scopes, and limitations of this novel process, extraction and subsequent HPLC quantification of emodin from an hydroalcoholic extract of rhizome of Rheum palmatum (Chinese rhubarb) was selected as the reference experiment. Maceration at room temperature and by heating, ultrasound-assisted, and microwave-assisted extractions were also carried out for comparison. Results obtained with electromagnetic induction heating showed that this methodology performed largely better both in terms of time process and extraction yields. Keywords: anthraquinone; electromagnetic induction heating; emodin; extraction methodologies; HPLC; Rheum palmatum 1. Introduction Conventional extraction methodologies of plants include maceration, heating, or refluxing in the presence of solvents with different polarities [1]. Drawbacks currently associated with such processes often include the loss of the desired secondary metabolites due to the occurrence of several side reactions like hydrolysis, air oxidation, and chemical degradation in general. These are also due to the long operation time required to accomplish the above-mentioned experimental steps.

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 License ABSTRACT. In this study, we compared the quality of DNA extracted using the modified CTAB method, from Rheum palmatum leaves preserved using fourteen different methods, including ones used commonly in other species: under ultra-cold (-80°C) temperatures, after drying with an absorbent paper, desiccating using a silica gel, drying at 60°C, in 70% ethanol, absolute ethanol, 70% ethanol supplemented with 50 mM EDTA, SDS-DNA extracting solution, nuclear separation buffer, improved NaCl-CTAB solution, TE-buffer, I-solution, or II- solution. DNA extracted from fresh leaves was used as the control. The quality of extracted DNA was evaluated based on the success of PCR amplification of the ITS2 region and a microsatellite marker. DNA was not extracted from samples preserved in the nuclear separation buffer and II-solution. The purities of DNA extracted from leaves preserved in ultra-cold temperatures, 70% ethanol, and 70% ethanol with 50 mM EDTA, and after desiccating using a silica gel and drying were higher, and comparable to the purity of DNA extracted from fresh leaves, than Genetics and Molecular Research 15 (3): gmr.15038019 M.

  • De Novo Characterization of the Root Transcriptome of a Traditional Chinese Medicinal Plant Polygonum Cuspidatum
    SCIENCE CHINA Life Sciences • RESEARCH PAPER • May 2012 Vol.55 No.5: 452–466 doi: 10.1007/s11427-012-4319-6 De novo characterization of the root transcriptome of a traditional Chinese medicinal plant Polygonum cuspidatum HAO DaCheng1*, MA Pei2, MU Jun1, CHEN ShiLin2*, XIAO PeiGen2*, PENG Yong2, HUO Li3, XU LiJia2 & SUN Chao2 1Biotechnology Institute, School of Environment, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China; 2Key Laboratory of Bioactive Substances and Resources Utilization of Chinese Herbal Medicine of Ministry of Education, Institute of Medicinal Plant Development, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing 100193, China; 3School of Software, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China Received January 23, 2012; accepted April 9, 2012 Various active components have been extracted from the root of Polygonum cuspidatum. However, the genetic basis for their activity is virtually unknown. In this study, 25600002 short reads (2.3 Gb) of P. cuspidatum root transcriptome were obtained via Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing. A total of 86418 unigenes were assembled de novo and annotated. Twelve, 18, 60 and 54 unigenes were respectively mapped to the mevalonic acid (MVA), methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP), shikimate and resveratrol biosynthesis pathways, suggesting that they are involved in the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically important anthra- quinone and resveratrol. Eighteen potential UDP-glycosyltransferase unigenes were identified as the candidates most likely to be involved in the biosynthesis of glycosides of secondary metabolites. Identification of relevant genes could be important in eventually increasing the yields of the medicinally useful constituents of the P. cuspidatum root. From the previously published transcriptome data of 19 non-model plant taxa, 1127 shared orthologs were identified and characterized.
