Development and characterization of nuclear microsatellite markers to reveal the neutral demographic background of flower color polymorphism in Geranium thunbergii (Geraniaceae)
Genes Genet Syst. 2021 Apr 22. doi: 10.1266/ggs.20-00062. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNuclear microsatellite markers were developed for Geranium thunbergii, an herbaceous plant characterized by petal color polymorphism. Utilizing RNA sequencing data obtained by next-generation sequencing techniques, we developed and characterized 19 polymorphic microsatellite markers with two to 12 alleles in the nuclear genome. These markers will be used to reveal the genetic structure and demographic history of G. thunbergii in the Japanese archipelago, which will elucidate the genetic background of flower color polymorphism among popu...

A New Butyrolactone Charlesolide and Other Constituents from Roots of Geranium charlesii
A new butyrolactone that was called charlesolide and the known phenolic compounds gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) and its methyl gallate and ethyl gallate derivatives were isolated from roots ofGeranium charlesii (Aitch.& Hemsl.) Vved. Their structures were elucidated using IR, UV, and NMR spectra and comparisons with those of standard samples. An X-ray crystal structure analysis established the absolute configuration of the chiral centers of charlesolide as 3S, 4S,7 ′S, 2 ″R, and 3 ″S. (Source: Chemistry of Natural Compounds)

Anti-acetylcholinesterase and toxicity against Artemia salina of chitosan microparticles loaded with essential oils of Cymbopogon flexuosus, Pelargonium x ssp and Copaifera officinalis.
The objective of this study was to produce, by spray drying, chitosan microparticles (CMs) loaded with EO of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), Geranium (Pelargonium x ssp) and Copaiba (Copaifera officinalis). Physicochemical and biological characterization of these microparticles showed that CMs presented spherical morphology, had an average size range of 2-3 μm with positive zeta potential (ZP) values, and enhanced thermal stability, compared to free EO. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) ranged from 4.8-58.6%, depending on the oil's properties. In vitro EO release from CMs was determined at different pHs, with 94% rel...

Essential oils encapsulated in chitosan microparticles against Candida albicans biofilms.
Abstract The aim of the study was to produce and characterize chitosan microparticles loaded with essential oils (CMEOs), evaluate the essential oil (EO) release profile and the CMEOs' anti-Candida activity. The chitosan microparticles (CMs) loaded with lemongrass essential oil (LEO) and geranium essential oil (GEO) were produced by the spray-drying method and characterized regarding CMEO morphological and physicochemical parameters and EO encapsulation efficiency (EE) and release profile. The planktonic activity was quantified by broth microdilution, and the activity against biofilm was quantified by biom...

Induced mutation breeding for qualitative and quantitative traits and varietal development in medicinal and aromatic crops at CSIR-CIMAP, Lucknow (India): Past and recent accomplishment.
Conclusions: The ample quantitative variation was also created by reshuffling the polygenic background in both seed and vegetatively propagated MACs, and subsequently, with applying mutation breeding approach superior varieties were evolved and released after a rigorous screening in the field-evaluation or under pipeline for release. These varieties are Niharika and Mayuri of psyllium; Vallary, CIMAP Sammohak, CIM Ujjwala, and YEL (yellow) of German chamomile and Manjari and CIM Jeeva of Java citronella.
