Cultivar recommendation for commercial scale cultivation involves evaluating several advanced breeding lines across multiple locations and years to identify the most promising and stable line(s). Theoretically, it is suggested that cultivars’ single-location multiple-year performance data has higher predictive power of their future performance than single year data. In the present study, we attempted to examine this hypothesis in 13 lemongrass clones evaluated across four years (2018–2021) at CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Centre, Bengaluru, India for herbage and essential oil yield using the statistical predictors viz., best linear unbiased predictors (BLUP) and yield relative to environment maximum (YREM). Besides, we also identified stable and high herbage and essential oil yielding lemongrass clones using AMMI based stability parameters, mean BLUP and YREMs. The predictive power of single-year vs multi-year data was assessed by comparing the correlation co-efficients of the lemongrass clones’ current year’s performance with preceding 1-, 2- and 3- years’ performance. The results of our study indicated that the multi-year and single-year performance data were adequate to predict the lemongrass’ herbage and essential oil yield, respectively for future years’ performance and to identify superior clones. The clone B3 3–1 exhibited superior herbage and essential oil yield based on mean BLUP and YREM as measures of clones’ performance, besides exhibiting excellent stability as indicated by AMMI-based stability estimates. Further, evaluation of the clone 5 (B2 6–4) for stable herbage and essential oil yield performance across multi-locations shall aid in identifying a cultivar suitable for commercial cultivation.

商业规模栽培的品种推荐包括在多个地点和年份评估几个先进的育种品系，以确定最有前途和最稳定的品系。从理论上讲，品种单地点多年产量数据对其未来产量的预测能力高于单年份数据。在本研究中，我们试图在印度班加罗尔csir -中央药用和芳香植物研究中心（CSIR-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Centre）对13个柠檬草无性系进行四年（2018-2021）评估，利用统计预测因子，即最佳线性无偏预测因子（BLUP）和相对于环境最大值（YREM）的产量，来检验这一假设。此外，我们还利用基于AMMI的稳定性参数、平均BLUP和YREMs，鉴定出稳定高产的柠檬草无性系。通过比较柠檬草无性系当年表现与前1年、2年和3年表现的相关系数，对单年和多年数据的预测能力进行了评估。本研究结果表明，多年和单年的产量数据足以预测香茅的牧草产量和精油产量，分别用于预测未来年份的产量和鉴定优质无性系。基于平均BLUP和YREM的无性系B3 - 1表现出优异的牧草和精油产量，此外，基于ammi的稳定性估计表明，无性系B3 - 1表现出优异的稳定性。此外，对5号无性系（B2 6-4）在多个地点的稳定牧草和精油产量性能进行评估，将有助于确定适合商业种植的品种。

The acquisition of yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) premium raw material with particular phytochemical profiles is made possible by understanding the variables influencing its chemical composition. Using PRISMA methodology, we made a systematic review choosing papers from indexed journals that connected yerba mate leaves phytochemical properties to cultivation management and processing variables. We discovered that there are still few studies with this focus, the results present discrepancies and the amount of new research on the subject is increasing. Factors related to planting, management, harvesting, and processing can affect the amount of bioactive compounds found in yerba mate leaves and are key to obtain high-quality raw materials. In order to provide more accurate answers, we emphasize the necessity of conducting new research, identifying factors, particularly genetic ones, standardizing sample collection, and developing analytical techniques. We hope that this review will assist in obtaining research insights and bring the possibility to obtain high-quality chemical-grade yerba mate products that are sufficiently tailored to each consumer market.

The quality of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) stigma is determined through its apocarotenoid content, especially crocin, picrocrocin, and safranal (C-P-S), which affect its dye, flavour and fragrance, respectively. This study provides a GIS-based technique to assess land suitability for saffron cultivation, emphasizing the crucial role of summer temperature in optimizing C-P-S concentrations. Data were collected from 23 saffron fields, where C-P-S content was quantified using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Long-term temperature data were extracted from TerraClimate database using Google Earth Engine and analyzed in a GIS environment to identify optimal summer temperature ranges. Optimal temperature ranges were established based on conditions observed in the best-performing fields, with deviations classified as suboptimal. These temperature thresholds were used to define climatic and quality zones, resulting in the identification of 34 climatic zones and 71 stigma quality zones across the studied provinces. Results indicate that only 5 % of the total arable land falls within the highest-quality zone, with the most suitable regions located in Razavi Khorasan Province. A strong negative correlation was observed between increasing summer temperatures and declining crocin and picrocrocin levels, demonstrating a temperature-sensitive response. These findings provide a perspective for agricultural decision-makers and support the development of climate-adaptive strategies for saffron cultivation.

藏红花（Crocus sativus L.）柱头的质量是通过其类伪胡萝卜素含量来决定的，尤其是藏红花素、微藏红花素和番红花醛（C-P-S），它们分别影响其染色、风味和香味。本研究提供了一种基于gis的藏红花种植土地适宜性评估技术，强调夏季温度在优化C-P-S浓度中的关键作用。采用高效液相色谱法（HPLC）对23块藏红花地的C-P-S含量进行定量分析。利用谷歌Earth Engine从terrclimate数据库中提取长期温度数据，并在GIS环境下进行分析，以确定夏季最佳温度范围。最佳温度范围是根据在最佳油田中观察到的条件确定的，偏差被归类为次优。利用这些温度阈值来定义气候区和质量区，最终确定了34个气候带和71个柱头质量区。结果表明，最高质量区域仅占总耕地面积的5 %，最适宜的区域位于呼罗珊省的拉扎维。在夏季温度升高与藏红花素和微苦藏红花素水平下降之间观察到强烈的负相关，表明温度敏感反应。这些发现为农业决策者提供了一个视角，并支持藏红花种植气候适应策略的发展。

Plasticity in floral traits is often associated with sexual polymorphism that reflects adaptations of plant species to different ecological conditions. Here, we studied the adaptive significance of sexual polymorphism on the reproductive ecology and reproductive success of Thymus linearis −a gynodiocious and duo-dichogamous plant species from the Kashmir Himalayas. All eight studied sites exhibited the coexistence of both female and hermaphrodite flowers with significantly different reproductive attributes. Female flowers were relatively smaller (0.27 ± 0.01 mm in diameter) compared to hermaphrodite flowers (0.32 ± 0.02 mm). In sexual accomplishment of T. linearis, we identified intervention of four floral morphs (A, B, C, and D) with unique form and functionality. These floral morphs varied in the number of pollens per flower, pollen viability, pollen variation, pollen load index, and stigma receptivity. The maximum pollen number was recorded in morph A (3373.3 ± 21.95) and the minimum in morph C (95.12 ± 0.01). The maximum pollen viability was recorded in morph D (87.66 ± 0.61 %), and the minimum in morph B and C (0 %). The maximum pollen variation was observed in morph D (60.53 ± 1.35) and the minimum in morph A (4.53 ± 0.165). The pollen load index was maximum in morph B (0.75) and minimum in morph A (0.25). The maximum duration of stigma receptivity was recorded in morph B (7–8 days) and the minimum in morphs A and D (2 days). The aforementioned species exhibited mixed mating favouring xenogamy over autogamy. The seed set recorded in xenogamy was 78.23 ± 1.34 and 54.57 ± 0.17 % for both female and hermaphrodite flowers, while in autogamy, the seed set recorded was 0 and 44.57 ± 0.17 % for both the female and hermaphrodite flowers. The species is mainly pollinated by honey bees and bumble bees. The research findings on the reproductive biology and sexual polymorphism of T. linearis will provide valuable insights for the development of effective conservation and breeding strategies.

花性状的可塑性通常与性多态性有关，反映了植物物种对不同生态条件的适应。本文研究了性多态性对克什米尔地区一种双雌双花植物——胸腺草（thyymus linearis）的生殖生态和繁殖成功的适应意义。所有8个研究地点均显示雌花和雌雄同体花共存，但生殖特性差异显著。雌花的直径为0.27 ± 0.01 mm，而雌雄同体的直径为0.32 ± 0.02 mm。我们发现了四种具有独特形态和功能的花型（A、B、C和D）的干预。这些花型在每朵花的花粉数量、花粉活力、花粉变异、花粉负荷指数和柱头接受性等方面都有差异。花粉数量以形态A最多（3373.3 ± 21.95），形态C最少（95.12 ± 0.01）。花粉活力最高的是形态D(87.66 ± 0.61 %)，最小的是形态B和C（0 %）。花粉变异最大的是形态D(60.53 ± 1.35)，最小的是形态A（4.53 ± 0.165）。花粉负荷指数以形态B最高（0.75），形态A最低（0.25）。柱头接受期最长的是B型（7 ~ 8 D），最短的是A型和D型（2 D）。上述物种表现出混合交配倾向于异种通婚而不是自婚。雌花和雌雄同体花的结实率分别为78.23 ± 1.34和54.57 ± 0.17 %，而雌雄同体花的结实率分别为0和44.57 ± 0.17 %。该物种主要由蜜蜂和大黄蜂授粉。研究结果将为制定有效的保护和育种策略提供有价值的见解。

Optimization of ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticle isolation: Synergistic effects of polyethylene glycol, filtration, and pH 姜源外泌体样纳米颗粒分离的优化：聚乙二醇、过滤和pH的协同效应

Plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PELNPs) represent promising bioactive agents, with ginger-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (GELNPs) exhibiting notable therapeutic potential due to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties. While polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based extraction offers a cost-effective alternative to ultracentrifugation for PELNP isolation, methodological refinements are needed to enhance yield, stability, and reproducibility. This study systematically optimizes GELNP isolation by integrating PEG6000 precipitation with pH adjustment and 0.45 µm filtration, building upon existing ginger nanovesicle protocols. We present the first comparative evaluation of pH modulation versus filtration, demonstrating distinct trade-offs: pH-adjusted GELNPs achieved smaller size, whereas filtered GELNPs exhibited superior colloidal stability and lower polydispersity index (PDI). Furthermore, we identify previously unreported seasonal variations in GELNP properties, with July-derived nanoparticles displaying enhanced stability and reduced size compared to those isolated in other months. Comprehensive physicochemical characterization—including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), particle size analysis (PSA), zeta potential analysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)—confirmed differences in morphology, size distribution, surface charge, and biomolecular composition. These findings highlight the necessity for seasonally adjusted, optimized isolation protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and maximize therapeutic efficacy, particularly for drug delivery applications. By addressing critical methodological gaps and introducing temporal considerations, this work establishes a framework for scalable, high-quality GELNP production.

植物源性外泌体样纳米颗粒（PELNPs）是一种很有前途的生物活性药物，姜源性外泌体样纳米颗粒（GELNPs）因其抗炎、抗氧化和神经保护特性而表现出显著的治疗潜力。虽然聚乙二醇（PEG）为PELNP分离提供了一种具有成本效益的超离心替代方法，但需要改进方法以提高产量、稳定性和可重复性。本研究在现有生姜纳米囊泡方案的基础上，通过整合PEG6000沉淀、pH调节和0.45 µm过滤，系统地优化了GELNP分离。我们提出了pH调制与过滤的第一个比较评估，展示了不同的权衡：pH调节的GELNPs实现了更小的尺寸，而过滤的GELNPs表现出更好的胶体稳定性和更低的多分散性指数（PDI）。此外，我们确定了先前未报道的GELNP性质的季节性变化，与其他月份分离的纳米颗粒相比，7月份衍生的纳米颗粒表现出更高的稳定性和更小的尺寸。综合的物理化学表征-包括透射电子显微镜（TEM），原子力显微镜（AFM），粒度分析（PSA）， zeta电位分析和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR) -证实了形态，尺寸分布，表面电荷和生物分子组成的差异。这些发现强调了季节性调整、优化分离方案的必要性，以确保批次间的一致性和最大限度地提高治疗效果，特别是在药物输送应用方面。通过解决关键的方法差距和引入时间考虑，这项工作建立了一个可扩展的、高质量的GELNP生产框架。

Species belonging to the genus Homalomena naturally grow in tropical climates, particularly in areas with high humidity, such as the tropical forests of Vietnam. Essential oils extracted from plants in this genus are currently considered to be expensive. This study focused on the rhizome essential oil of Homalomena occulta (Lour.) Schott., collected in Gia Lai province, and aimed to optimize the extraction process through cellulase-assisted hydrodistillation. Using response surface methodology (RSM) with a central composite design (CCD), the study evaluated the effects of three factors—pH level, enzyme concentration, and incubation time—on the extraction yield. The optimal conditions identified were a cellulase concentration of 0.25 % at a pH of 3.5 for an incubation period of 5 h. Under these conditions, there was a three-fold increase in yield (0.321 ± 0.016 %) compared to the control (0.100 ± 0.011 %). When comparing essential oil samples extracted without cellulase to those extracted using cellulase under optimal conditions, it was evident that the oils obtained from cellulase-treated materials had a higher yield without compromising quality. The organoleptic and physical properties remained largely unchanged; the essential oil retained a transparent, pale yellow color and a sweet, fresh aroma. However, the sample from the cellulase-treated material had a stronger woody scent. The physical properties demonstrated minimal variation, with specific gravities of 0.877 ± 0.0026 g/cm³ and 0.888 ± 0.0016 g/cm³ , respectively. The refractive indices were 1.4671 ± 0.00020 and 1.4680 ± 0.00046, while the optical rotation angles changed insignificantly (-10.388 ± 0.3506 vs. −9.271 ± 0.1851). The essential oil from Homalomena remains rich in natural aromatic compounds, including linalool and various oxygenated compounds such as terpinene-4-ol, α-terpineol, epi-α-muurol, and α-cadionol, all of which have biological value and potential applications.

Homalomena属的物种自然生长在热带气候中，特别是在高湿度的地区，如越南的热带森林。从该属植物中提取的精油目前被认为是昂贵的。本研究主要对隐花蒿（Homalomena occulta）根茎精油进行了研究。Schott。该研究旨在通过纤维素酶辅助加氢蒸馏优化提取工艺。采用响应面法（RSM）和中心复合设计（CCD），研究了ph、酶浓度和孵育时间对提取率的影响。确定的最佳条件是纤维素酶浓度为0.25 %，pH为3.5，孵育时间为5 h。在此条件下，产量（0.321 ± 0.016 %）比对照（0.100 ± 0.011 %）提高了3倍。当比较未使用纤维素酶提取的精油样品与在最佳条件下使用纤维素酶提取的精油样品时，很明显，从纤维素酶处理的材料中获得的油在不影响质量的情况下具有更高的收率。感官和物理性质基本保持不变；精油保留了透明的淡黄色和甜美清新的香气。然而，从纤维素酶处理的材料样品有更强的木香。其物理性质变化最小，比重分别为0.877 ± 0.0026 g/cm³ 和0.888 ± 0.0016 g/cm³ 。折射率分别为1.4671 ± 0.00020和1.4680 ± 0.00046，旋光角变化不大（-10.388 ± 0.3506 vs - 9.271 ± 0.1851）。黄樟精油中含有丰富的天然芳香族化合物，包括芳樟醇和各种含氧化合物，如松油烯-4-醇、α-松油醇、外皮-α-穆罗、α-二醇等，具有一定的生物学价值和潜在的应用价值。

Different plants have been used, around the world, in the treatment of primary diseases as an alternative or popular medicine. In Brazil, the Health Minister introduced a national politic for the phytotherapy use in the Single Health System (SUS). Due to that, Bidenspilosa L. (Asteraceae) was chosen because it is one of the medicinal plants present in the Single Health System list, called RENISUS. Bidens pilosa L. is a popular plant used in the treatment of different diseases (malaria, cancer tumors, fever, diabetes, infections, inflammations, angina, etc.) and is widely disseminated throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The biological activities of the plant are attributed to the presence of flavonoids, polyacetylenes and terpenes. Therefore, this study evaluated the biological activities of the oil extraction using supercritical CO₂ at different pressure and temperature conditions, due to the scarcity of studies comparing supercritical fluid extraction to conventional techniques (Soxhlet and maceration). The experimental procedure used 8 g of previously dried and milled leaves at different conditions according to an experimental design (150 bar - 60 °C; 179 bar - 46 °C; 179 bar - 74 °C; 250 bar - 40 °C; 250 bar - 80 °C; 321 bar - 46 °C; 321 bar - 74 °C, 350 bar - 60 °C, 250 bar - 60 °C). According to the results, the best yield was 0.082 % (6.6 mg) at 321 bar and 74 °C. The analyses of the experiments done at 321 bar at 74 °C and 250 bar at 40 °C, showed ultraviolet spectra characteristic of terpenes. The extracts analyzed showed promising inhibition in the two tumor cell lines: melanoma, SK-MEL-28 (68 %) and leukemia K562 (90 %), both at a concentration of 150 μg/mL. The results suggested the importance of the bioactive components from Bidens pilosa to contribute to a new anticancer drug using supercritical technology.

在世界各地，不同的植物已被用作治疗原发性疾病的替代药物或流行药物。在巴西，卫生部长提出了在单一卫生系统（SUS）中使用植物疗法的国家政策。因此，选择Bidenspilosa L. （Asteraceae）是因为它是单一卫生系统清单（称为RENISUS）中存在的药用植物之一。Bidens pilosa L.是一种流行的植物，用于治疗不同的疾病（疟疾、癌症肿瘤、发烧、糖尿病、感染、炎症、心绞痛等），广泛分布在世界的热带和亚热带地区。该植物的生物活性归因于黄酮类化合物、聚乙炔和萜烯的存在。因此，由于缺乏将超临界流体萃取与常规技术（索氏和浸渍）进行比较的研究，因此，本研究评估了超临界CO2在不同压力和温度条件下的生物活性。实验程序使用8 g先前干燥和研磨的叶子，根据实验设计(150 bar - 60°C；179 bar - 46°C；179 bar - 74°C；250 bar - 40℃；250 bar - 80℃；321 bar - 46°C；321 bar - 74°C, 350 bar - 60°C, 250 bar - 60°C)。结果表明，在321 bar、74℃条件下，最佳产率为0.082 %（6.6 mg）。在74°C下321 bar和40°C下250 bar进行的实验分析显示了萜烯的紫外光谱特征。所分析的提取物对两种肿瘤细胞系SK-MEL-28（68 %）和白血病K562（90 %）均有抑制作用，浓度均为150 μg/mL。研究结果表明，从毛缕草中提取的活性成分对利用超临界技术开发新型抗癌药物具有重要意义。

Aralia section Dimorphanthus represents the largest section in Araliaceae and has been employed in East Asian traditional medicine for centuries. However, the morphological complexity and the prevalence of hybridization/introgression posed a great challenge for accurate species identification, thereby hindering the development, conservation and application of these medicinal plants. In this study, we employed sequences of hundreds of nuclear loci and the complete plastomes to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships, and evaluated the effectiveness of 12 distinct barcode systems for distinguishing Chinese species of Aralia sect. Dimorphanthus. We found that plastome length, gene content, and order of these species were highly conserved, while the inverted repeat regions showed variability between temperate and tropical/subtropical lineages, providing novel markers for geographical traceability. Phylogenetic relationships constructed based on the genome-scale data confirmed that Chinese Aralia sect. Dimorphanthus was monophyletic and comprised three well-supported lineages. Incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization were identified as the main factors contributing to the phylogenetic conflicts among trees. Species discrimination analysis revealed that super-barcoding strategies integrating complete plastomes and nrDNA sequences, achieved a 92 % species identification accuracy among the 14 studied species of Aralia sect. Dimorphanthus, outperforming standard barcodes. While this system resolved most taxonomic ambiguities, the inclusion of universal nuclear markers is crucial to resolve ambiguities in highly variable taxa like A. elata. These advancements directly support industrial needs for reliable species authentication and biodiversity conservation in pharmacologically important species.

双菊属植物是五加科植物中最大的一种，在东亚的传统医学中已经使用了几个世纪。然而，由于其形态的复杂性和杂交/渗入现象的普遍存在，给准确的物种鉴定带来了很大的挑战，从而阻碍了这些药用植物的开发、保护和应用。本研究利用数百个核位点的序列和完整的质粒进行了系统发育关系的重建，并对12种不同的条形码系统进行了鉴定。研究发现，这些物种的质体体长度、基因含量和序列高度保守，而倒置重复区在温带和热带/亚热带谱系之间表现出差异，为地理溯源提供了新的标记。基于基因组尺度数据构建的系统发育关系证实，中国异花楤木组为单系系，由3个支持良好的谱系组成。谱系分选不全和杂交不全是造成树间系统发育冲突的主要因素。物种鉴别分析表明，采用整合全质体和nrDNA序列的超条形码策略，对菊苣属（Aralia sect. Dimorphanthus） 14种植物的物种鉴定准确率达到92 %，优于标准条形码。虽然该系统解决了大多数分类上的歧义，但通用核标记的包含对于解决像elata这样高度可变的分类群的歧义至关重要。这些进步直接支持工业对可靠的物种认证和生物多样性保护的需求。

In this study, we aimed to develop SSR molecular markers for assessing the population structure and genetic diversity of Atractylodes lancea (AL) and Atractylodes chinensis (AC), with a focus on their volatile compounds. By utilizing transcriptome data from AL, we successfully developed 29 pairs of highly polymorphic SSR primers, generating 264 distinct alleles. Cluster analysis revealed three distinct populations: Mao Mountain, Dabie Mountain, and samples from other locations and primers with high discriminatory power were selected. Additionally, a representative core subset of 106 samples was selected from the original germplasm, capable of representing over 99 % of the genetic variation. This core subset provides an efficient resource for future studies on population genetics and trait association. The Support Vector Machine (SVM)-based method achieved an accuracy of 98.8 % in distinguishing Atractylodis Rhizoma (AR) varieties. GC-MS screening identified 24 potential differential metabolites between the two species, with correlation analysis showing significant association. This study successfully developed SSR molecular markers for analyzing genetic diversity in AL and AC and established a reliable method for identifying AR medicinal varieties. These findings provide a solid foundation for future quality control of AR and the selection of superior germplasm.

本研究旨在利用SSR分子标记对苍术（Atractylodes lancea， AL）和中国苍术（Atractylodes chinensis， AC）的居群结构和遗传多样性进行评价，重点分析其挥发性成分。利用AL的转录组数据，我们成功开发了29对高多态性SSR引物，产生264个不同的等位基因。聚类分析显示，毛山、大别山和其他地区的样本具有明显的种群特征，并选择了判别能力强的引物。此外，从原始种质中选择了106个样本的代表性核心子集，能够代表99% %以上的遗传变异。这一核心亚群为今后的群体遗传学和性状关联研究提供了有效的资源。基于支持向量机（SVM）的方法对苍术品种的鉴别准确率达到98.8 %。GC-MS筛选鉴定出24种潜在的两种差异代谢物，相关分析显示相关性显著。本研究成功开发了用于分析AR和AC遗传多样性的SSR分子标记，为AR药用品种的鉴定建立了可靠的方法。这些研究结果为今后AR的质量控制和优质种质的选择提供了坚实的基础。
