Two new compounds, named lyciumlignan D (1) and lyciumphenyl propanoid A (2), along with seven known compounds, were isolated from the root bark of Lycium chinense. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic data (UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR, CD), as well as by comparison with those of the literature. Compounds 3-9 were isolated from this genus for the first time. In the in vitro...

Heat stress has a strong and detrimental effect on plant growth yield. Goji berry or wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) is dual-purpose medicinal food but an increase in high temperatures caused serious decline yield quality. In this study, we first explored the heat responses of berry, found that adaptation mechanisms fluctuated over 48 h. Moreover, L.barbarum 1402 was more resistant while Ningqi ...

The accurate quantitative maturity detection of fresh Lycium barbarum L. (L. barbarum) fruit is the key to determine whether are suitable for harvesting or not and can also be helpful improve quality post-harvest processing. To achieve this goal, abnormal samples were eliminated by Mahalanobis Distance (MD), nine components (i.e., R, G, B, H, S, V, L, a, b) ripe fruit, half-ripe unripe extracte...

The complete amino acid sequences of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins from Scopolia japonica and Lycium chinense have been determined by automated Edman degradation of the entire Cm-proteins and of the peptides obtained by enzymatic digestions. These two ferredoxins exhibited only 2-7 differences in the amino acid sequence when compared to the Datura-ferredoxins (D. stramonium, D. metel, and D. arborea), a...

The present research study was undertaken at poultry research unit of Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan in June-July, 2010 to investigate the effect of different timings of supplementing medicinal plants (Berberis lycium, Allium stivum, Solanum nigrum and Terminalia arjuna) infusion on the liver function and lipid profile of broiler at day-42. 240 day-old boiler chickens were randomly...
