Wild mushrooms may be developed into anti-cancer drugs
Seemingly ordinary macrofungi, that is, wild mushrooms commonly parasitic on tree trunks, may actually be developed into antibacterial and even anti-cancer drugs. A research team composed of four lecturers and their students from the School of Chemical and Life Sciences at Nanyang Polytechnic in Singapore has, over the past two years, classified and studied more than 400 species of local wild mushrooms, and found that two of them contain anti-cancer compounds and 30 contain antibacterial compounds. At present, they have successfully identified the chemical structure of one wild mushroom with anti-cancer properties, and confirmed

What are the growth and development characteristics of Panax notoginseng?
Panax notoginseng seeds have after-ripening characteristics and must be stored under moist conditions to complete physiological after-ripening and germinate. Once the seeds dry out, they lose their viability. A one-year-old seedling grows only 1 palmately compound leaf; in winter the stems and leaves wither, and around the spring equinox of the second year, new shoots emerge from the rhizome above ground. In winter it is dormant, and in spring of the second year it sprouts and grows stems and leaves. If the young bud is damaged that year, it cannot germinate into a seedling the following year and must remain dormant underground for one year; after a new bud forms the following year, a new shoot grows in the spring of the third year. One-year-old plants do not bolt

Potato Harvester Successfully Developed, Mechanized Harvesting Realized
On July 17, at the provincial potato mechanized planting and harvesting on-site demonstration meeting held in Xiazhaizhai Village, Nianbo Town, Ledu County, Qinghai Province, it was observed that a single-operator potato harvester produced and developed by a provincial private enterprise completed the potato harvest of a 8-fen plot in less than 40 minutes, equivalent to a whole day's workload of 10 laborers, while the machine's selling price was less than 1500 yuan. The staff of the Qinghai Provincial Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Machinery Extension Station distributed and promoted 40 such potato harvesters with an operating efficiency of 1.2 mu per hour to 20 grassroots stations on site.

Soybean molecular breeding technology successfully developed by South Korea
The Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute of South Korea's Rural Development Administration recently successfully developed a soybean molecular breeding technology, which means that South Korea's mass production of organic soybeans containing anti-cancer components will become a reality. South Korea's regeneration technology for soybean plant bodies through tissue culture is not well developed, so trait-transformed soybeans are mainly imported from the United States. The Rural Development Administration revealed that molecular breeding technology is called third-generation genetic engineering technology. Using this technology, soybeans with higher added value can be produced, which is of great significance for increasing farmers' income.

How can the new functional components of soybeans be developed and utilized?
China is the homeland of soybeans, and over the long course of history, "soybeans have nurtured the Chinese nation." Modern science has discovered that the functional components of soybeans that nurtured the Chinese nation are mainly found in soybean meal. High-temperature soybean meal is the highest-yield product of the soybean oil processing industry. Whether the effective components in high-temperature soybean meal can be extracted is key to revitalizing China's soybean oil processing industry. The National Soybean Deep Processing Technology Research and Promotion Center invented a process using high-temperature soybean meal as raw material to continuously extract high-purity soybean oligopeptides, soybean isoflavones,

In the field of licorice research and development, our country has become the leader
It was recently learned at the founding conference of the Special Committee on Chinese Materia Medica Pharmaceutics of the World Federation of Chinese Medicine Societies and the International Symposium on Chinese Materia Medica Pharmaceutics that our country has successfully applied chiral catalysis technology to the purification of the active ingredients of licorice, increasing it from 3% to 97%, greatly saving medicinal materials. At the same time, following the recent introduction of the Class I new drug and chiral liver drug "Tianqing Ganmei", this shows that our country has already taken a world-leading position in the research, development and innovation of licorice preparations. Chiral technology works by scientifically adjusting the chemical structure arrangement

Honeysuckle is an ideal choice for economic development in mountainous areas
I. Development and utilization prospects of honeysuckle (1) Medicinal value Honeysuckle is one of the ten precious and widely used medicinal herbs nationwide. As early as more than 2000 years ago, the "Shennong Bencao Jing" listed it as a superior grade, and recorded that "taken over a long period it lightens the body and prolongs life." Its flower buds contain luteolin, inositol, and chlorogenic acid. Research shows that chlorogenic acid is the main active ingredient for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It has a significant inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, hemolytic Streptococcus, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, and Pneumococcus.

How to manage greenhouse apricots in spring? Focus on management to promote development
For apricot trees in a winter-warm greenhouse, the fruit development period runs from mid-February to the end of April, and this period is divided into three main development stages. The first stage is the first rapid growth period of the apricot tree and the new shoot growth period, lasting 28-34 days; the second stage is the pit-hardening period, lasting 8-12 days; the third stage is the second rapid growth period of the apricot fruit and the new shoot growth period, lasting 20-30 days. Management work for the first stage: after flowering, apply 0.5 kg of nitrogen fertilizer and 1 kg of phosphorus fertilizer per tree, and within two weeks after flowering spray 0.3% urea once every 7 days. After leaf expansion, spray Yibianjing or Yashijing

Eight Major Disease Prevention and Control Measures for the Green Development of Mushrooms
Establish the "big prevention and control" concept of integrated management. The occurrence, and even the epidemic or outbreak, of edible mushroom diseases all follows certain developmental patterns. Patterns are science, and no carelessness is tolerated. On the surface, diseases appear only at a certain production stage, but the occurrence of disease requires quite a few conditions. If any one condition cannot be met, the occurrence of disease may be reduced, lowered, or even impossible, or even if it occurs, it cannot cause harm. Therefore, one should not only prevent or treat at the stage where the disease occurs, but should start from the source

How Are Russian Olive Foods Developed and Utilized? A Full Explanation of Pathways and Value
Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.), also known as Guixiang willow, silver willow, or Qilixiang, belongs to the Elaeagnaceae family, genus Elaeagnus. It is an evergreen shrub. Russian olive is light-demanding, cold-tolerant, highly resistant to wind-blown sand and saline-alkali conditions, grows fast, has wide uses, and holds high economic value. Russian olive is distributed in Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, **, Qinghai and other places; in ** it is found in the Taklamakan Desert and along the banks of various rivers, and it is also distributed in Yili, Toksun and other places in northern **. Russian olive is a "treasure tree" of desert saline-alkali land; its edible value and medicinal value are both very high, and it has great potential for development into green foods.
