TL;DR: It is unveiled that anaerobic soil could play a more positive role in reducing potential risk of ARGs in the farmland environment.

TL;DR: Nine new minor dehydrogenated and cleavaged dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins were isolated from the steamed roots of Panax notoginseng, together with 14 known ones, which displayed the enhancing potential of neurite outgrowth of NGF-mediated PC12 cells at a concentration of 10 μM.

TL;DR: The herbal textual study, distribution, chemical constituents, biological investigation and quality control of the recorded “Long-Dan” origins in Chinese Pharmacopoeia during the period 1960 to 2011 are summarized.
Abstract: “Long-Dan” is an important traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) herb used widely for the treatment of inflammation, hepatitis, rheumatism, cholecystitis, and tuberculosis. In the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the roots and rhizomes of four species from the genus Gentiana (Gentianaceae) are recorded as the original materials of “Long-Dan”, called Gentianae Radix et Rhizoma. The species included G. manshurica, G. scabra, G. triflora and G. rigescens, which are distributed in different areas of China. Though iridoid and secoiridoid glucosides were reported as the main constituents in “Long-Dan”, these four different species also resulted in different minor components, which may related to their pharmacological activities. Herein, we summarized the herbal textual study, distribution, chemical constituents, biological investigation and quality control of the recorded “Long-Dan” origins in Chinese Pharmacopoeia during the period 1960 to 2011.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that the responses of soil bacterial communities to the same biochar were specific to both soil type and bacterial phylum, especially those phyla present at low abundances.
Abstract: In this study, the responses of soil bacterial communities to biochar amendment in different soils were investigated. Biochar amendment had not significantly changed the bacterial richness and diversity in black soil, fluvo-aquic soil and red soil, but shifted all the soil bacterial community structures. Biochar amendment mainly increased the growth of low-abundance bacteria in fluvo-aquic soil and that of high-abundance bacteria in red soil. The most abundant bacterial phylum in black soil and fluvo-aquic soil, Proteobacteria, increased after biochar addition, while Chloroflexi, the most abundant phylum in red soil, decreased after biochar addition. Some bacterial phyla responded consistently to biochar amendment. However, many more bacterial phyla responded differently to biochar amendment in different soils, especially those phyla present at low abundances. Therefore, our study confirmed that the responses of soil bacterial communities to the same biochar were specific to both soil type and bacterial phylum.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the chemistry, biosynthesis and occurrence of the compounds involved, namely the C6-C3-C6 flavonoids-anthocyanins, dihydrochalcones, Flavan-3-ols, flavanones, flavones, Flavonols and isoflavones, and the mechanisms underlying these processes are discussed.

TL;DR: This paper found that the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent, due to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns.
Abstract: Glacial melting in the Tibetan Plateau affects the water resources of millions of people. This study finds that—partly owing to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns—the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent.
