Eriotheca gracilipes concept is re-circumscribed according to the shape and texture of leaflets, diameter petiole, calyx color, seed striation geographic distribution. In addition, a new species (Eriotheca uniflora) combination crenulata) are proposed here. Descriptions, identification key, taxonomic comments, distribution, phenology conservation status, images diagnostic characteristics table ...

Myelochroa (Asahina) Elix & Hale is a common foliose lichen genus found on the Korean Peninsula. Since it was first recorded nearly two decades ago, no detailed taxonomic or revisionary study of the genus has been conducted. Thus, the current study was conducted to carry out a detailed taxonomic and revisionary study of Myelochroa in South Korea. This study was based on specimens deposited in t...

Exposure to hypoxia leads to impaired pulmonary sodium transport, which is associated with Na,K-ATPase dysfunction in the alveolar epithelium. The present study is designed to examine the effect and mechanism of Rhodiola crenulata extract (RCE) and its bioactive components on hypoxia-mediated Na,K-ATPase endocytosis. A549 cells were exposed to hypoxia in the presence or absence of RCE, salidros...

Abstract A rapid microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) method was established to extract commercially important salidroside from dry plant materials of Rhodiola crenulata . Several parameters such as time, solid/liquid ratio, temperature and solvent concentration were investigated for efficient extraction. The estimated maximum ratio based on parameter optimization using response surface methodol...
