However, due to the difficulties in obtaining enough this compound from Taxus trees, the traditional approach extracted directly from plants not only produces low yield, but also triggers serious damage to the wild resource of Taxus. At the same time, the complex structure Taxol has impeded efforts to find a method to fulfill an economically feasible strategy via total synthesis. By constrast, cell culture of Taxus is a potential alternative for the production of Taxol and analogue compounds in a large scale culture, which possesses a multitude of advantages such as high purity product of secondary metabolite, low production cost, short cell growth cycle and less influence from external factors. Huge efforts have been made to develop a more sustainable source of Taxol. The main target of ongoing Taxus-related research in recent years are on the regulation of Taxus metabolism, key genes mining, application and development in new pharmaceutical preparations. Different ways, including application of precursors and elicitors, optimizing of cultural conditions, screening of high yielding cell lines, optimization of growth and production media, have been already tested to improve the yield of Taxol in cultures of Taxus. It is necessary to take into account the latest achievements based on empirical procedures to establish a high yielding system. In this review, we have summarized the latest endeavors to establish a high yield suspension cell line and increase its yield of Taxol, with a special focus on the key issues related to tissue culture of Taxus such as explants, culture medium, hormone treatment, culture conditions, browning and other issues. Developments for new and more effective elicitation treatments and the application of metabolic engineering to design new transgenic cell lines of Taxus with an improved capacity for taxane production have also been described.

The results were as follows:(1)As an ancient relic, history environmental change, the bottleneck effect, high frequency selfing and genetic drift, all could result in a decline in genetic diversity and poor adaptability for S. glauca.(2)“Forest-Gap” guerrilla regeneration model was an important way for this species surviving, due to its light- and nutrient-demanding characteristics, and exclusion stress from interspecific competition in community. However, this model was interrupted by insufficient forest gaps and lower seed dispersal efficiency, less chance to guerrilla.(3)Bamboo expansion and overgrowth seriously reduced S. glauca flowering and fruiting, and interfered seedlings recruitment.

The majority of disease resistance genes in plants encode nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat(NBS-LRR)proteins. The TIR-NB-LRR(TNL)type is a large family of plant NB-LRR genes. And it is also the current hot topics in the studies of plant disease resistance genes. We summarized the related research progresses of different domains of TNL proteins comprehensively in this review. TIR domain in resistance signaling via homodimerization or heterodimerization is a major role of plant TNL proteins. However, emerging roles for pathogen recognition for the plant TIR domain were identified in some researches. The NBS domain in NBS-LRR proteins was proposed to function as a molecular switch. It can adjust the conformation changes of plant R proteins through binding ADP or ATP, which regulates resistance signal conduction downstream. The LRRs of plant TIR-NB-LRR proteins were predicted to interact directly or indirectly with their avirulent effectors to recognize the pathogen specifically. The information provides a good theory basis for study of plant disease-resistance mechanisms, and also provides new insights and choices for crop disease-resistance breeding directionally by gene editing technology in the future.]]> 2017/3/8 14:17:08 1, FANG Hui¹, HUANG Yu², LU Jiang^1,3, QU Jun-Jie^1*]]> YIN Ling¹, FANG Hui¹, HUANG Yu², LU Jiang^1,3, QU Jun-Jie^1* 51true Flora of China and the newest related literatures, there are 81 species in 23 genera of saprophytic orchids in China.

Of them, quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, rhamnetin, isorhamnetin, tricin, naringenin, myricetin, apigenin and hesperetin were the common feature flavonoid aglycones from buckwheat. Peonidin, delphinidin and cyanidin were the anthocyanins compounds which were mostly isolated from Fagopyrum. Biosynthesis of buckwheat flavonoids originated from the phenylpropane metabolism pathway, and the key enzymes genes involved in the pathway, such as PAL, CHS, C4H, 4CL, CHI, LAR etc., and the transcription factor MYB genes were cloned and identified. MYB transcription factors played an important role in the induction and regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis, and major influence factors for the flavonoids biosynthesis included the environment factors, plant growth regulators, biological factors and varieties, and these factors could have cross regulations effects on the buckwheat flavonoids biosynthesis. In this paper, research overviews of buckwheat flavonoids, flavonoid compounds, flavonoids biosynthesis pathway, mechanism of regulation, and major influence factors are summarized, which can lay a theoretical foundation and a feasible scheme for high quality of buckwheat production during the cultivation process, and promotion of nutritional values of buckwheat products, and point out the research direction of buckwheat flavonoids in the future.]]> 2021/7/5 15:46:28 1,2, ZHAO Gang², ZHAO Jianglin^2*]]> ZHONG Lingyun^1,2, ZHAO Gang², ZHAO Jianglin^2* 25true Vatica guangxiensis.

Based on summarizing previous studies and combining field investigation, in this paper, we further analyze and discuss current situations and problems of pests, disturbance and population regeneration difficulties of M. sieversii. There are still some problems in the protection and research of M. sieversii. Firstly, the origin and evolution of M. sieversii are still divergent. Secondly, the distribution area of the M. sieversii population in Xinjiang is further shrinking, and the distribution areas of the three counties are one-third of 60 years ago. Thirdly, the pest problem of M. sieversii has been effectively controlled, but the pest prevention and monitoring system has not been fully constructed. Forthly, the issue of excessive interference of M. sieversii still exists. Farmland reclamation and human deforestation have been controlled to some extent, but overgrazing still exists. Fifthly, the M. sieversii update difficult problem is still significant, and the existing research is at the primary stage, lacking in-depth study. Given the current issues, we put forward several suggestions. Firstly, the origin and evolution of M. sieversii need to be further studied by technologies like molecular biology. Secondly, establish a monitoring system of M. sieversii resources in Xinjiang and use advanced monitoring technology to monitor the status of M. sieversii resources in Xinjiang quickly and effectively.

Previous studies mostly focused on the negative effects of HCO^-₃ on plant growth and metabolism, such as inhibiting plant photosynthesis, reducing the activity of key enzymes in carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and damaging ion balance, while few people paid attention to its positive effects on plant growth and metabolism. Based on the results of previous studies, this paper reviewed the role of HCO^-₃ in promoting plant growth and metabolism. Previous studies have shown that HCO^- ₃ is not only provides short-term carbon and water sources for plants under stress such as drought, but also promotes stomatal opening and restores photosynthesis. At the same time, it also promotes plant carbon and nitrogen metabolism by regulating the key enzyme activities of carbon and nitrogen metabolism, and participates in the regulation of complex physiological processes such as carbon assimilation and nitrogen reduction in plants. In addition, HCO^-₃ can also change the distribution of glycolysis pathway and pentose phosphate pathway by affecting glucose metabolism disproportionation, so as to enhance the stress resistance of plants and obtain survival opportunities. These positive effects of HCO^-₃ not only make it a key factor to promote plant physiological metabolism, but also become a link connecting photosynthesis and karstification. Clarifying the positive effect of HCO^-₃ on plant growth and development can provide a theoretical basis for maintaining the biodiversity and stability of karst ecosystem and optimizing the function of karst ecosystem.]]> 2022/7/20 10:21:32 1,2, WU Yanyou^1*]]> TONG Chengying^1,2, WU Yanyou^1* 19true Rhododendron has high ornamental value and broad landscape applications. However, most of them are naturally distributed in high-altitude mountains, and they prefer cool and humid climate for the restriction of genetic mechanism. Drought is the key factor to restrict their ex-situ conservation and landscape application. As Rhododendron have many different species, cultivars and ecological types, distributed in a wide area, the mechanisms of different species or cultivars responses to drought stress are different. In this paper, how Rhododendron responses to drought stress and the effects of exogenous substances on improving the drought resistance of Rhododendron in China and abroad were reviewed from the aspects of seed germination, morphological and anatomical characteristics, physiological and biochemical parameters, gene expression, etc. In addition, the deficiency of current research and the future research directions were also discussed. It is proposed that the water use strategy and drought resistance mechanism of different ecological types and different drought resistances of Rhododendron should be future studied, as well as the gene regulation mechanism of mycorrhizal fungi for improving the drought resistance and the screening of excellent strains.

Lianas possess the advantages of rapid growth, strong reproductive capacity and phenotypic plasticity, and high resource use efficiency under the altered environment. Thus, the favorable environment and inherent advantages can contribute to the increase of lianas.(2)Lianas compete with trees by means of shading stress, resource competition and mechanical loading, abrasion, and strangulation, which all may increase the mortality of trees.(3)The over-increase of lianas can negatively affect the tree growth, reproduction, and survival; at community level, lianas can alter tree community composition and decrease community diversity; at ecosystem level, lianas can ramify forest ecosystem function by decreasing carbon storage and altering carbon, nutrient, and water cycling. Therefore, we recommend that future studies should be aimed at the correlations between population dynamic changes of liana species and environmental changes, the effect of forest disturbance on the growth of lianas, responses of lianas to the environmental changes and the adaption mechanisms, comprehensive evaluation on the ecological consequences of the increase of lianas by means of long-term dynamic monitoring plots and controlling experiments.

The genus is also one difficult taxa for taxonomic research arising from the combined effects of hybridization, polyploidy and apomixis. In this study, the specimens preserved in National Plant Specimen Resource Center and the database of Global Plants were retrieved and carefully sorted out. Some key information such as herbaria, collectors, collecting sites, collection time were analyzed concretely to understand the collection sites and the distribution center of wild germplasm resources of Sorbus in China and construct the database of Sorbus in China, so as to provide references for the first general survey and collection of forest and grass germplasm resources in China. On the basis of clarifying the distribution range and habitat of Sorbus plant resources, we found that the species of Sorbus in China are the most abundant in the world and Sorbus species are mostly distributed in high-altitude areas. Especially, more than half of Sorbus species are distributed in the mountainous area of southwestern China, and multiple ploidy coexists in this area, which creates unique conditions for hybridization. Is it the key factor of rich species diversity of this genus? With this, the research status of Sorbus plants were further summarized, the problems existing in the study of molecular system biology, conservation biology, phytochemistry and resource development and utilization were pointed out, and the key issues to be paid attention to in the future research of Sorbus were put forward. Suggestions for future research on Sorbus were as follows:(1)We should focus on the study of process of hybridization on the basis of a solid phylogenetic framework;(2)Based on the comprehensive investigation of the wild germplasm resources of Sorbus in China,, we should select the species with high ornamental value and study the molecular regulatory mechanisms of the response of Sorbus species to high-temperature stress in the summer in the low altitude areas by using the latest molecular biology techniques and methods, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the introduction and acclimatization of high-altitude species.]]> 2023/3/26 12:05:34 1, MA Fanqiang¹, ZHENG Xiangkun², SHI Zuomin^1*]]> QIN Aili¹, MA Fanqiang¹, ZHENG Xiangkun², SHI Zuomin^1* 10true 2023/3/26 12:05:34 1,2, CAI Ran³, ZHANG Gongliang³, YANG Yantao², LIU Xingyu⁴, SHEN Xihui^2*]]> YIN Yanling^1,2, CAI Ran³, ZHANG Gongliang³, YANG Yantao², LIU Xingyu⁴, SHEN Xihui^2* 9true Allium, including garlic, onion, green Chinese onion, Chinese chive and other important vegetable crops with unique spicy flavor, is one of the largest genera of angiosperms. S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides, the unique secondary metabolites of Allium, which giving Allium spicy flavor and medicinal value, are the precursors of various volatile sulfur compounds. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the metabolic pathway of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides in Allium. Seven S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides have been found in Allium plants. These S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides are mainly synthesized in leaves through glutathione pathway, and then transported to the cytoplasm of storage organs such as bulbs for accumulation. At present, there are many studies on the catabolism of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides in Allium, while few studies on the biosynthesis of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides. Only two biosynthetic enzymes, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase(GGT)and flavin-containing monooxygenase(FMO), have been confirmed at the molecular level. In addition, S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides are the downstream products of plant sulfur metabolism. The upstream of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxide metabolism involves the absorption and transport of sulfur-containing compounds, the metabolism of cysteine and glutathione, and the changes of these metabolic processes may also affect the biosynthesis of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides. With the rapid development of omics technology, genomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics have been applied in the study of Allium plants, especially the completion of garlic genome sequence assembly, which provides great convenience for the study of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides metabolism pathway in Allium plants. Two aspects of research should be strengthened in the future: One is to continue to clone and identify the key enzyme genes in the biosynthesis pathway of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides and study their functions; another is to strengthen the study of sulfur metabolism in Allium plants, so as to lay a foundation for the study of the regulation of S-alk(en)ylcysteine sulfoxides biosynthesis.
