As a kind of tonic Chinese medicine with dual use in medicine and food, there is a large market demanding for Codonopsis pilosula. Taking one-year-old C. pilosula seedlings as materials, we conducted a field experiment to examine the effect of compound fertilizer (750 kg·hm-2), organic fertilizer (15 t·hm-2) and Streptomyces pactum Act12 agent (9 t·hm-2 Act12+10 t·hm-2 organic fertilizer) treatments on root morphology, secondary metabolite content and expression level of lobetyolin metabolic pathway gene of C. pilosula, to clarify the effects of three fertilizers on the root morphology and medicinal quality. Compared to the control (10 t·hm-2 organic fertilizer, conventional fertilization), three fertilization treatments could promote root growth and formation. All fertilization treatments promoted the accumulation of C. pilosula polysaccharides and secondary metabolites. Act12 agent significantly increased the content of lobetyolin, atractylenolideIII, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. The qRT-PCR analysis indicated that three fertilization treatments increased the expression level of lobetyolin metabolic pathway genes, with Act12 agent treatment showing the most significant effect. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that the expression level of CpHCT and CpFAD genes was significantly positively correlated with atractylenolide III content. In conclusion, three fertilization treatments could effectively improve the yield and quality of C. pilosula. Among the three treatments, Act12 agent performed better than that of compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer, which was an effective measure to increase the yield and quality of C. pilosula.

Effect of different sweeteners on the quality, fatty acid and volatile flavor compounds of braised pork.

This study aimed to assess how several sweeteners (white sugar, Siraitia grosvenorii fruit, mogrosides, and stevia glycoside) affected the flavor, fatty acid composition, and quality of braised pork. The findings indicated that braised meat prepared with sweeteners differed from typical braised pork. When simmered for 60 min, the typical braised pork with white granulated sugar exhibited a significant cooking loss (CL) and little water content. Significantly more than in the group containing Siraitia grosvenorii, mogroside, and stevia glycoside, the Thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) value increased by 14.39% (P < 0.05). The sample in the group that included mogroside had a low CL rate. After 40 min of stewing, the lean pork has the highest L* value, but the 60-min stew sample is nicely colored and stretchy. Mogroside can prevent protein, and lipid oxidation, is thermally stable and reduces CL during stewing. Additionally, Siraitia grosvenorii and stevia glycosides help prevent oxidation from intensifying during stewing. When Siraitia grosvenorii is added, lipid oxidation is significantly inhibited, and stevia glycosides are more beneficial for enhancing meat color. With an increase in heating time, the fatty acids in braised pork reduced; the unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) of the Siraitia grosvenorii fruit (SF) and mg group also fell somewhat, and the UFA: SFA ratio was higher than that of the white sugar (WS) group. The SFA content of the braised meat in the stevia glycoside group was higher than that of the WS group. In all, 75 volatile flavor elements in braised pork were discovered by Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The sweetener increased alcohols, esters, and acids in the braised pork. As stewing time increased, ketones decreased, but aldehydes and esters increased. The pork formed antioxidant peptides with great nutritional value after cooking. Braised pork with mogroside and stevia glycoside additions primarily have some protein color protection and antioxidant effects. This study may offer fresh perspectives on applying natural sweeteners and enhancing braised pork's flavor.

Identification and regulatory network analysis of SPL family transcription factors in Populus euphratica Oliv. heteromorphic leaves.

The SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) family play a key role in guiding the switch of plant growth from juvenile to adult phases. Populus euphratica Oliv. exhibit typical heterophylly, and is therefore an ideal model for studying leaf shape development. To investigate the role and regulated networks of SPLs in the morphogenesis of P. euphratica heteromorphic leaves. In this study, 33 P. euphratica SPL (PeuSPL) genes were identified from P. euphratica genome and transcriptome data. Phylogenetic analysis depicted the classification of these SPL genes into two subgroups. The expression profiles and regulatory networks of P. euphratica SPL genes analysis displayed that major P. euphratica SPL family members gradually increases from linear to broad-ovate leaves, and they were involved in the morphogenesis regulation, stress response, transition from vegetative to reproductive growth, photoperiod, and photosynthesis etc. 14 circRNAs, and 33 lncRNAs can promote the expression of 12 of the P. euphratica SPLs by co-decoying miR156 in heteromorphic leaf morphogenesis. However, it was found that the effect of PeuSPL2-4 and PeuSPL9 in leaf shape development was contrasting to their homologous genes of Arabidopsis. Therefore, it was suggested that the SPL family were evolutionarily conserved for regulation growth, but were varies in different plant for regulation of the organ development.
