Foliar water uptake (FWU) is one of the primary sources for desert plants. Desert plants’ capacity essential in maintaining balance carbon and water. However, there are few studies on FWU plants physiological ecological characteristics that lead to differences capacity. In order clarify strategies influencing factors ecosystems, this study measured contact angle, parameters, hydraulic parameter...

Licorice is mainly used to treat cough in clinics. After being roasted with honey, licorice has a cardiac protective effect. Due its different sources, the chemical components are also diverse. To distinguish compounds between three sources of raw (RL) and honey-roasted (HRL), UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS method was established. Eighteen batches samples were analyzed which derived from Glycyrrhiza uralensis...

Licorice plants, Glycyrrhiza glabra, G. uralensis, and G. inflata, were investigated for callus induction using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium combined with auxins and cytokinins. After 4 weeks of culture, 33-100% of leaf or stem explants formed calli. Maximum of shoot induction from callus cultures was achieved by G. inflata stem explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/l alpha-n...
