Two Nitrogen-containing Compounds from Pseudostellaria heterophylla

Interaction of Pseudostellaria heterophylla with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. heterophylla mediated by its root exudates in a consecutive monoculture system

In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to determine the amount of Fusarium oxysporum, an important replant disease pathogen in Pseudostellaria heterophylla rhizospheric soil. Moreover, HPLC was used to identify phenolic acids in root exudates then it was further to explore the effects of the phenolic acid allelochemicals on the growth of F. oxysporum f.sp. heterophylla. The a...

Effects of consecutive monoculture of Pseudostellaria heterophylla on soil fungal community as determined by pyrosequencing

Under consecutive monoculture, the biomass and quality of Pseudostellaria heterophylla declines significantly. In this study, a three-year field experiment was conducted to identify typical growth inhibition effects caused by extended monoculturing of P. heterophylla. Deep pyrosequencing was used to examine changes in the structure and composition of soil fungal community along a three-year gra...

Regeneration of Plantlets and Tetraploidy Induction in Pseudostellaria Heterophylla Zuyun Ye1,2, Ya

Pseudostellaria heterophylla has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years (Xiao, 2002). The primary medicinal components of the herb include alkaloids, which are located mostly in the root tubers (Wu et al., 2004; Cai et al., 2005). P. heterophylla seeds are difficult to germinate because the seed coat is too thick (Wen, 2003). Its root tubers are generally used for propa...
