چکیده
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for population genetic studies of Alpinia oxyphylla (Zingiberaceae), a perennial rhizomatous herbaceous plant often used medicinally in China. • METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 85 loci were identified using a magnetic bead enrichment method, of which 23 were polymorphic. The level of polymorphism was characterized in 32 individuals from two populations; the number of alleles per locus ranged from 1 to 13; and observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity varied from 0 to 1 (mean: 0.6441) and 0 to 0.887 (mean: 0.6241), respectively. • CONCLUSIONS The polymorphic microsatellite markers generated from this study will be useful for genetic diversity and structure analysis of A. oxyphylla.

Oxyphyllones A and B, novel sesquiterpenes with an unusual 4,5-secoeudesmane skeleton from Alpinia oxyphylla
Two novel 4,5-secoeudesmane sesquiterpenoids, oxyphyllones A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the fruits of Alpinia oxyphylla. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR spectra. These two compounds are the first example of naturally occurring sesquiterpenoids with a 4,5-secoeudesmane skeleton in the family of Zingiberaceae and oxyphyllone A (1) is the fi...

There have been considerable efforts to search for naturally occurring substances for the intervention of carcinogenesis. Many components from dietary or medicinal plants have been identified that possess substantial chemopreventive properties. An example is curcumin (Curcuma longa Linn., Zingiberaceae), which has been shown to inhibit tumor promotion in experimental carcinogenesis. Alpinia oxy...

متن کاملIdentification of Chinese Herbal Medicines from Zingiberaceae Family Using Feature Extraction and Cascade Classifier Based on Response Signals from E-Nose
Identification of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) by human experience is often inaccurate because individual ability and external factors may influence the outcome. However, it might be promising to employ an electronic nose (E-nose) to identify them. This paper presents a rapid and reliable method for identification of ten different species of CHMs from Zingiberaceae family based on their resp...
