PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1720. [PMID: 38999560 PMCID: PMC11244399 DOI: 10.3390/plants13131720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
Epimedium brevicornu Maxim. is a herbal plant with various therapeutic effects, and its aboveground tissues contain flavonol compounds such as icaritin that can be used to produce new drugs for the treatment of advanced liver cancer. Previous studies have shown that ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-315 nm) stress can increase the levels of flavonoid substances in plants. In the current study, we observed the microstructure of E. brevicornu leaves after 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 d of UV-B radiation (60 μw·cm-2) and quality formation mechanism of E. brevicornu leaves after 0, 10, and 20 d of UV-B radiation by LC‒ESI‒MS/MS. The contents of flavonols such as icariside I, wushanicaritin, icaritin, and kumatakenin were significantly upregulated after 10 d of radiation. The results indicated that UV-B radiation for 10 d inhibited the morphological development of E. brevicornu but increased the content of active medicinal components, providing a positive strategy for epimedium quality improvement.

Wu W, Luo X, Wang Y, Xie X, Lan Y, Li L, Zhu T, Ren M. Combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis reveals the mechanism underlying blue light-mediated promotion of flavones and flavonols accumulation in Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. microgreens. JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 242:112692. [PMID: 36958087 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2023.112692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023]
Abstract
Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Chuanxiong) is an important Chinese medicinal herb, whose rhizomes are widely used as raw materials for treating various diseases caused by blood stasis. The fresh tender stems and leaves of Chuanxiong are also consumed and have the potential as microgreens. Here, we investigated the effect of light spectra on yield and total flavonoid content of Chuanxiong microgreens by treatment with LED-based white light (WL), red light (RL), blue light (BL), and continuous darkness (DD). The results showed that WL and BL reduced biomass accumulation but significantly increased total flavonoid content compared to RL or DD treatments. Widely targeted metabolomics analysis confirmed that BL promoted the accumulation of flavones and flavonols in Chuanxiong microgreens. Further integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis revealed the mechanism by which BL induces the up-regulation of transcription factors such as HY5 and MYBs, promotes the expression of key genes targeted for flavonoid biosynthesis, and ultimately leads to the accumulation of flavones and flavonols. This study suggests that blue light is a proper light spectra to improve the quality of Chuanxiong microgreens, and the research results lay a foundation for guiding the de-etiolation of Chuanxiong microgreens to obtain both yield and quality in production practice.

Effect of Wide-Spectrum Monochromatic Lights on Growth, Phytochemistry, Nutraceuticals, and Antioxidant Potential of In Vitro Callus Cultures of Moringa oleifera. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28031497. [PMID: 36771159 PMCID: PMC9921732 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28031497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 01/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Moringa oleifera, also called miracle tree, is a pharmaceutically important plant with a multitude of nutritional, medicinal, and therapeutic attributes. In the current study, an in-vitro-based elicitation approach was used to enhance the commercially viable bioactive compounds in an in vitro callus culture of M. oleifera. The callus culture was established and exposed to different monochromatic lights to assess the potentially interactive effects on biomass productions, biosynthesis of pharmaceutically valuable secondary metabolites, and antioxidant activity. Optimum biomass production (16.7 g/L dry weight), total phenolic contents (TPC: 18.03 mg/g), and flavonoid contents (TFC: 15.02 mg/g) were recorded in callus cultures placed under continuous white light (24 h), and of other light treatments. The highest antioxidant activity, i.e., ABTS (550.69 TEAC µM) and FRAP (365.37 TEAC µM), were also noted under white light (24 h). The analysis of phytochemicals confirmed the significant impact of white light exposures on the enhanced biosynthesis of plant secondary metabolites. The enhanced levels of secondary metabolites, i.e., kaempferol (1016.04 µg/g DW), neochlorogenic acid (998.38 µg/g DW), quercetin (959.92 µg/g DW), and minor compounds including luteolin, apigenin, and p-coumaric acid were observed as being highest in continuous white light (24 h with respect to the control (photoperiod). Similarly, blue light enhanced the chlorogenic acid accumulation. This study shows that differential spectral lights demonstrate a good approach for the enhancement of nutraceuticals along with novel pharmacologically important metabolites and antioxidants in the in vitro callus culture of M. oleifera.

Abstract
Similar to blood, interstitial fluid (ISF) contains exogenous drugs and biomarkers and may therefore substitute blood in drug analysis. However, current ISF extraction techniques require bulky instruments and are both time-consuming and complicated, which has inspired the development of viable alternatives such as those relying on skin or tissue puncturing with microneedles. Currently, microneedles are widely employed for transdermal drug delivery and have been successfully used for ISF extraction by different mechanisms to facilitate subsequent analysis. The integration of microneedles with sensors enables in situ ISF analysis and specific compound monitoring, while the integration of monitoring and delivery functions in wearable devices allows real-time dose modification. Herein, we review the progress in drug analysis based on microneedle-assisted ISF extraction and discuss the related future opportunities and challenges.

Abstract
Light quality consists of a spectrum of different bands, which not only affects plant, development, and primary metabolism but also affects the secondary metabolism of plants. It is an important factor affecting the content of active components of medicinal plants. The A. paniculata seedlings planted in the laboratory, as materials, were tested with red light, far red light, blue light, and ultraviolet light separately. The study assays the content of six main chemical components separately by LC-MS, observes the changes in the content, and analyzes the relationship between the light quality and the active ingredient of A. paniculata. Using the ointment yield and pH value, the fingerprint analysis method of A. paniculata standard decoction was established, and we discussed the selection of index components of A. paniculata standard decoction. It was suggested to select andrographolide as the index component. It will provide a theoretical basis for the large area cultivation of A. paniculata and optimize the quality of medicinal materials to ensure the quality of standard decoction.

Abstract
Lettuce is commonly consumed around the world, spurring the cultivation of green- and red-leaf varieties in indoor farms. One common consideration for indoor cultivation is the light wavelengths/spectrum, which is an important factor for regulating growth, development, and the accumulation of metabolites. Here, we show that Batavia lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. "Batavia") grown under a combination of red (R) and blue (B) light (RB, R:B = 3:1) displayed better growth and accumulated more anthocyanin than lettuce grown under fluorescent light (FL). Anthocyanin concentration was also higher in mature stage than early stage lettuce. By performing a comparative transcriptome analysis of early and mature stage lettuce grown under RB or FL (RB or FL-lettuce), we found that RB induced the expression of genes related to oxidation-reduction reaction and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Furthermore, plant age affected the transcriptome response to RB, as mature RB-lettuce had six times more differentially expressed genes than early RB-lettuce. Also, genes related to the accumulation of secondary metabolites such as flavonoids and anthocyanins were more induced in mature RB-lettuce. A detailed analysis of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway revealed key genes that were up-regulated in mature RB-lettuce. Concurrently, branching pathways for flavonol and lignin precursors were down-regulated.

RNA-Seq analysis reveals the growth and photosynthetic responses of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under red and blue LEDs with supplemental yellow, green, or white light. HORTICULTURE RESEARCH 2020; 7:206. [PMID: 33328459 PMCID: PMC7705657 DOI: 10.1038/s41438-020-00429-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2019] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/08/2020] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
Compound light is required for plant growth and development, but the response mechanisms of plants are undercharacterized and not fully understood. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of supplemental light (green light, G; white light, W; yellow light, Y) added to red-blue light (RB) and sole W on the growth and photosynthesis of rapeseed seedlings. The results revealed that supplemental G/W improved the growth and photosynthesis of seedlings, but supplemental Y significantly reduced the photosynthetic rate and palisade tissue layer. Sole W caused similar responses in terms of growth, leaf development, oxidative damage, and antioxidant capability as supplemental Y. In total, 449, 367, 813, and 751 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified under supplemental G, Y, and W and sole W, respectively, compared to RB. The DEGs under different lights were closely associated with pathways such as light stimulus and high-light response, root growth, leaf development, photosynthesis, photosynthesis-antenna proteins, carbohydrate synthesis and degradation, secondary metabolism, plant hormones, and antioxidant capacity, which contributed to the distinct growth and photosynthesis under different treatments. Our results suggest that Y is more likely substituted by other wavelengths to achieve certain effects similar to those of supplemental Y, while G has a more distinctive effect on rapeseed. Taken together, supplementation RB with G/W promotes the growth of rapeseed seedlings in a controlled environment.

Li X, Yang H, Pang X, Sun G. Entirely control the quality consistency of Rong'e Yishen oral liquid by both quantified profiling and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker method. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2020; 193:113719. [PMID: 33220654 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2020.113719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Revised: 10/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/19/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Quantified profiling and quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS) method were combined to control the quality consistency of Rong'e Yishen oral liquid (REYS) in this paper. Firstly, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection (DAD) was applied to collect fingerprints and establish a content determination method. Then, two methods of QAMS and the external standard method (ESM) were used for comparative study to investigate the feasibility of the former to accurately control the quality of individual marker. The results showed that there was no significant difference in quantitative determination between QAMS and ESM (t test, P>0.05). Sodium benzoate, as an internal reference standard (IRS), can be used to simultaneously quantify Icariin, Echinacoside, and Acteoside three components of the oral liquid. Finally, the fingerprint of 15 batches of REYSs was assessed by SQFM with Hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA). The result of the quality evaluation demonstrated that 15 batches were divided into 3 levels and had good quality consistency. What's more, the content percentage of the dominant three medicinal markers and their total amount presented a close correlation with the macro quantitative similarity (Pm) of samples. Thus, quantified profiling combined with QAMS, which is systematic, simple, rigorous, and objective, could be a novel method to evaluate the quality consistency of REYS or even other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Xie D, Chen L, Zhou C, Tarin MWK, Yang D, Ren K, He T, Rong J, Zheng Y. Transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling reveals the effect of LED light quality on morphological traits, and phenylpropanoid-derived compounds accumulation in Sarcandra glabra seedlings. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2020; 20:476. [PMID: 33076818 PMCID: PMC7574309 DOI: 10.1186/s12870-020-02685-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2020] [Accepted: 10/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcandra glabra is an evergreen and traditional Chinese herb with anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. Light is one of the most influential factor affecting the growth and quality of herbs. In recent times, the introduction of Light Emission Diode (LED) technology has been widely used for plants in greenhouse. However, the impact of such lights on plant growth and the regulatory mechanism of phenylpropanoid-derived compounds in S. glabra remain unclear. RESULTS The red LED light (RL) substantially increased the plant height and decreased the stem diameter and leaf area relative to the white LED light (WL), while the blue LED light (BL) significantly reduced the height and leaf area of S. glabra. According to transcriptomic profiling, 861, 378, 47, 10,033, 7917, and 6379 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified among the groups of leaf tissue under BL (BY) vs. leaf tissue under RL (RY), BY vs. leaf tissue under WL (WY), RY vs. WY, root tissue under WL (WG) vs. WY, stem tissue under WL (WJ) vs. WG, and WJ vs. WY, respectively. We identified 46 genes encoding for almost all known enzymes involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, e.g., phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), and flavonol synthase (FLS). We found 53 genes encoding R2R3-MYB proteins and bHLH proteins, respectively, where several were related to flavonoids biosynthesis. A total of 454 metabolites were identified based on metabolomic profiling, of which 44, 87, and 296 compounds were differentially produced in WY vs. RY, WY vs. BY, and WY vs. WG. In BY there was a substantial reduction in the production of esculetin, caffeic acid, isofraxidin, and fraxidin, while the yields of quercitrin and kaempferol were significantly up-regulated. In RY, the contents of cryptochlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid, and kaempferol decreased significantly. Besides, in WG, the production of metabolites (e.g. chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and scopolin) declined, while their yields increased significantly (e.g. esculetin, fraxetin, isofraxidin, and fraxidin). CONCLUSION These results provide further insight into the regulatory mechanism of accumulation patterns of phenylpropanoid-derived compounds in S. glabra under various light conditions, allowing optimum breeding conditions to be developed for this plant.

Abstract
Plants defend themselves from most microbial attacks via mechanisms including cell wall fortification, production of antimicrobial compounds, and generation of reactive oxygen species. Successful pathogens overcome these host defenses, as well as obtain nutrients from the host. Perturbations of plant metabolism play a central role in determining the outcome of attempted infections. Metabolomic analyses, for example between healthy, newly infected and diseased or resistant plants, have the potential to reveal perturbations to signaling or output pathways with key roles in determining the outcome of a plant-microbe interaction. However, application of this -omic and its tools in plant pathology studies is lagging relative to genomic and transcriptomic methods. Thus, it is imperative to bring the power of metabolomics to bear on the study of plant resistance/susceptibility. This review discusses metabolomics studies that link changes in primary or specialized metabolism to the defense responses of plants against bacterial, fungal, nematode, and viral pathogens. Also examined are cases where metabolomics unveils virulence mechanisms used by pathogens. Finally, how integrating metabolomics with other -omics can advance plant pathology research is discussed.
