been important crude drugs worldwide for at least 4000 years, and the major sweet constituent, glycyrrhizin, is not only a well-recognized natural sweetener but also a pharmaceutical with antiinflammatory and hepatoprotective activities. In addition, licorice is the most frequently used component in Chinese and Japanese traditional medicines, and the roots and stolons of Glycyrrhiza uralensis F...

BACKGROUND This study performed optimized extraction, preliminary characterization, and in vitro antioxidant activities of polysaccharides from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three parameters (extraction temperature, ratio of water to raw material, and extraction time) were optimized for yields of G. uralensis polysaccharides (GUP) using response surface methodology with Box-...

Abstract The effects of hydrostatic pressure (from 100 to 250 MPa with different exposure options) on the germination hard seeds licorice ( Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch.) were studied. Among used pressures, best result was obtained after three times by exposure. In this variant, good dynamics swelling and observed, proportion normal seedlings from total number in studied sample largest. It is sh...

The rate-limiting enzyme in the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway which can lead to triterpenoid saponin glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR). In order to reveal the effect of copy number variation in the HMGR gene on the MVA pathway, the HMGR gene from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (GuHMGR) was cloned and over-expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. Six recombinant P...

A leaf-disc-test method was used under controlled laboratory conditions to determine the feeding preference of Altica deserticola Latreille (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) on leaves two liquorice species, Glycyrrhiza inflata Batalin and G. uralensis Fisch. ex DC. Leaf hardness thickness, cuticle nitrogen tannin contents were compared between liquorices explore their resistance A. deserticola. The l...
