Characterization of rhizobia that nodulate legume species of the genus Lespedeza and description of Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense sp. nov. (1/11)
Legume species belonging to the genus Lespedeza are annual or perennial herb or shrub plants that grow in the northern hemisphere. They are known for the formation of root nodules, but little information is available about their microsymbionts. In this study, 58 root-nodule isolates from Lespedeza spp., obtained from China and the USA, were characterized using numerical taxonomic analysis of phenotypic features, SDS-PAGE analysis of whole-cell proteins, DNA-DNA hybridization, 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and cross-nodulation with selected legume species. From the results generated using these approaches, it was concluded that Lespedeza spp. were promiscuous hosts for rhizobia. Four main clusters of bacteria, which included 35 of the strains isolated from Lespedeza spp., were defined upon numerical taxonomic analysis; these groups corresponded to those determined from analyses of protein electrophoretic and DNA-DNA hybridization data. The four clusters were found to define strains belonging to one of four species, Sinorhizobium saheli, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Bradyrhizobium elkanii or a novel species of the genus Bradyrhizobium. The strains of B. japonicum and B. elkanii were all from the USA soil samples, and their representative strains could not nodulate soybean. The seven strains found to represent the novel Bradyrhizobium sp. were from China. These were differentiated from recognized species of the genus Bradyrhizobium by all of the taxonomic methods used here; hence, it is proposed that the novel strains isolated from Lespedeza spp. represent a novel species of the genus Bradyrhizobium, Bradyrhizobium yuanmingense. The type strain of the novel species, CCBAU 10071(T) (= CFNEB 101(T)), formed ineffective nodules on Medicago sativa and Melilotus albus but did not nodulate soybean. The other 23 bacterial strains isolated from Lespedeza spp. were found to form single branches or small groups (two to three strains) that were related to Bradyrhizobium, Mesorhizobium, Rhizobium and Sinorhizobium spp. on the basis of numerical taxonomic analysis, indicating the possibility that other rhizobial species are also associated with Lespedeza spp. (+info)Characterization of rhizobia isolated from legume species within the genera Astragalus and Lespedeza grown in the Loess Plateau of China and description of Rhizobium loessense sp. nov. (2/11)
Twenty-nine rhizobial isolates from root nodules of Astragalus and Lespedeza spp. growing in the Loess Plateau of China were characterized by numerical taxonomy, RFLP and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes, measurement of DNA G+C content, DNA-DNA relatedness and cross-nodulation with selected legume species. Based on the results of numerical taxonomy, the isolates formed two clusters (1 and 2) with some single isolates at a similarity level of 82 %. Cluster 1 contained six isolates from Astragalus and Lespedeza spp. Cluster 2 consisted of nine isolates from Astragalus spp. DNA relatedness was greater than 80 % among isolates within cluster 2. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that CCBAU 7190B(T), representing cluster 2, was closely related to Rhizobium galegae and Rhizobium huautlense. DNA-DNA relatedness between CCBAU 7190B(T) and reference strains of R. galegae, R. huautlense and other related species ranged from 0 to 48.6 %. The cluster 2 isolates could also be differentiated phenotypically from related species. Based on these data, a novel species, Rhizobium loessense sp. nov., is proposed for cluster 2, with the type strain CCBAU 7190B(T) (=AS1.3401(T)=LMG 21975(T)). (+info)The effect of a condensed tannin-containing forage on methane emission by goats. (3/11)
The objective of this study was to compare methane emission by goats consuming the condensed tannin-containing forage sericea lespedeza (Les-pedeza cuneata) or a mixture of crabgrass (Digitaria ischaemum) and Kentucky 31 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Two groups of 12 Angora does (initial average BW = 41.5 +/- 2.7 kg) that previously grazed a pasture of sericea lespedeza or crabgrass/tall fescue for approximately 4 mo were used. After 1 wk of adaptation to metabolism cages, gas exchange was measured for 24 h in an open-circuit respiration calorimetry system with four head boxes. Forage harvested daily from the previously grazed pastures was consumed ad libitum. Crude protein concentration was 10.3 and 13.0%, IVDMD was 64.5 and 75.3%, and the level of condensed tannins was 17.7 and 0.5% for sericea lespedeza and crabgrass/tall fescue, respectively. Dry matter intake (1.11 vs. 0.67 kg/d) and digestible DMI (estimated from IVDMD; 0.71 vs. 0.51 kg/d) were greater (P < 0.01) for sericea lespedeza than for crabgrass/tall fescue. Ruminal ammonia N (3.7 and 9.9 mg/dL; P < 0.001) and plasma urea-N concentrations (16.7 and 20.9 mg/dL; P = 0.07) were lower for sericea lespedeza than for crabgrass/tall fescue. Concentrations of individual and total VFA and the acetate-to-propionate ratio in ruminal fluid did not differ between treatments (P > 0.19). Despite higher DMI by goats fed sericea lespedeza, daily energy expenditure (409 vs. 431 kJ/kg BW(0.75)), heart rate (70 vs. 73 beats/min), and the ratio of energy expenditure to heart rate (5.82 vs. 5.94) did not differ between sericea lespedeza and crabgrass/tall fescue, respectively (P > 0.13). Methane emission expressed as both quantity per day or relative to DMI was lower (P <0.001) for sericea lespedeza than for crabgrass/tall fescue (7.4 vs. 10.6 g/d and 6.9 vs. 16.2 g/kg DMI). Substantial differences between the forages in condensed tannins concentration and methane emission by Angora goats suggest that condensed tannins decreased methane emission. (+info)Phenotypic and genetic diversity of rhizobia isolated from nodules of the legume genera Astragalus, Lespedeza and Hedysarum in northwestern China. (4/11)
Twenty-nine rhizobial isolates from root nodules of the wild Legumes Astragalus, Lespedeza and Hedysarum growing in the northwestern region of China, were characterized by numerical taxonomy, RFLP and sequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA genes, and cross-nodulation with selected Legume species. Based on the results from numerical taxonomy, the isolates could be divided into two main groups (Clusters 1 and 2) and some single isolates at 82% similarity. CLuster 1 contained six isolates from Astragalus, Lespedeza and Hedysarum spp. Cluster 2 consisted of nine isolates from Astragalus and Hedysarum species. The phytogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that SH199, representing cluster 1, belonged to the Rhizobium-Agrobacterium group, and SH290B, representing cluster 2, was closely related to R. galegae and R. huautlense. (+info)Downregulation of melanin synthesis by haginin A and its application to in vivo lightening model. (5/11)
Haginin A, an isoflav-3-ens isolated from the branch of Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, is almost unknown. Here, we report that haginin A exhibits a strong hypopigmentary effect in Melan-a cells and significantly inhibits melanin synthesis. Haginin A shows potent inhibitory effects with an IC(50) (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) value of 5.0 microM on mushroom tyrosinase activity, and functioned as a noncompetitive inhibitor. Also, haginin A decreased microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase, and tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) protein production. To identify the signaling pathway of haginin A, the ability of haginin A to influence extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) and Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) activation was investigated. Apparently, haginin A induced ERK and Akt/PKB in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, the specific inhibition of the ERK and the Akt/PKB signaling pathways by PD98059 and LY294002, respectively, increased melanin synthesis. Furthermore, haginin A decreased UV-induced skin pigmentation in brown guinea-pigs. Also, haginin A presented remarkable inhibition on the body pigmentation in the zebrafish model system and decreased tyrosinase activity. Together, haginin A is an effective inhibitor of hyperpigmentation caused by UV irradiation or by pigmented skin disorders through downregulation via ERK and Akt/PKB activation, MITF, and also by the subsequent downregulation of tyrosinase and TRP-1 production.

(+info)Inhibitory effect of dalbergioidin isolated from the trunk of Lespedeza cyrtobotrya on melanin biosynthesis. (8/11)
Tyrosinase is a key enzyme for melanin biosynthesis, and hyperpigmentation disorders are associated with abnormal accumulation of melanin pigments, which can be reduced by treatment with depigmenting agents. The methanol extract of Lespedeza cyrtobotrya MIQ showed inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase. The active compound was purified from the methanol extract of L cyrtobotrya, followed by several chromatographic methods, and identified as dalbergioidin (DBG) by spectroscopic methods. The results showed that DBG exhibited tyrosinase inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 20 mM. The kinetic analysis tyrosinase inhibition revealed that DBG acted as noncompetitive inhibitor. In addition, DBG showed a melanin biosynthesis inhibition zone in the culture plate of Streptomyces bikiniensis that has commonly been used as an indicator organism. Furthermore, 27 mM DBG decreased more than 50% of melanin contents on the pigmentation using immortalized mouse melanocyte, melan-a cell. (+info)I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Lespedeza" is not a medical term. It is a genus of plants commonly known as bush clover or lespedeza. These plants are native to warm temperate and subtropical regions of the world, including parts of North America, Asia, and Africa. They have been used in some traditional medicine practices, but there is no widely recognized medical definition associated with "Lespedeza." If you have any questions related to a specific medical term or concept, I'd be happy to help if I can!
Astragalus membranaceus, also known as Astragalus propinquus, is a plant that is native to China and has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. It is often referred to simply as "astragalus" and its root is used in herbal remedies.
In traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus is considered to have warming and drying properties, and is often used to strengthen the body's defenses, or "wei qi," which is believed to help protect against external pathogens. It is also used to treat a variety of conditions, including fatigue, weakness, and respiratory infections.
In modern scientific research, astragalus has been studied for its potential immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. Some studies have suggested that it may help to improve immune function, reduce inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress. However, more research is needed to confirm these potential benefits and determine the optimal dosage and safety of astragalus supplements.
It's important to note that astragalus should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment, and anyone considering taking it as a supplement should speak with their healthcare provider first to discuss the potential risks and benefits.
Proanthocyanidins are a type of polyphenolic compound that are found in various plants, including fruits, vegetables, and bark. They are also known as condensed tannins or oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs). These compounds are characterized by their ability to form complex structures through the linkage of flavan-3-ol units.
Proanthocyanidins have been studied for their potential health benefits, which may include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protective effects. They have also been shown to have a positive impact on collagen stability, which may contribute to their potential role in promoting skin and joint health.
Foods that are rich in proanthocyanidins include grapes (and red wine), berries, apples, cocoa, and green tea. These compounds can be difficult for the body to absorb, but supplements containing standardized extracts of proanthocyanidins are also available.
It's important to note that while proanthocyanidins have shown promise in laboratory and animal studies, more research is needed to fully understand their potential health benefits and safety profile in humans. As with any supplement, it's always a good idea to talk to your healthcare provider before starting to take proanthocyanidins.
Medical definitions typically focus on the relevance of a term to medical practice, and I'm not sure if there is a specific medical definition for "plant exudates." However, in a broader context, plant exudates refer to the various substances that are released or exuded by plants, often as a result of damage or stress. These can include a wide variety of compounds, such as sap, resins, latex, gums, essential oils, and tannins. Some of these compounds can have medicinal properties and are used in various forms of traditional and modern medicine. For example, the resin from certain pine trees (rosin) has been used to treat respiratory ailments, while willow bark, which contains salicin (a precursor to aspirin), has been used for pain relief for centuries.
