Summary: The study showed that nonfumigated Chrysanthemum morifolium extract was more effective in protecting against lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress at high doses compared to sulphur-fumigated extract. Sulphur fumigation was found to cause oxidative damage and attenuate antioxidative activity, promoting lipid peroxidation.

Summary: High relative humidity and high temperature due to climate change can severely affect the growth and photosynthetic performance of chrysanthemums. This study found that there is an interactive effect between temperature and relative humidity on chrysanthemum photosynthesis, with temperature having a greater impact than relative humidity.

Summary: A new carlavirus, named Carya illinoinensis carlavirus 1 (CiCV1-CN), was found in chrysanthemum plants in Zhejiang Province, China. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CiCV1-CN belongs to the same evolutionary branch as chrysanthemum virus R (CVR) in the Carlavirus genus. In addition, the study found that the cysteine-rich protein encoded by CiCV1-CN's ORF6 can cause downward leaf curl and hypersensitive cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana plants.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Chrysanthemum morifolium polysaccharide has a significant improvement effect on the constipation model in SD rats, alleviating constipation through pathways such as enhancing intestinal motility and improving gut microbiota structure. Proteomics studies also indicated that Chrysanthemum morifolium polysaccharide can promote intestinal health and relieve constipation by regulating the expression of various proteins.

Summary: This study identifies the role of the ethylene-responsive VII transcription factor CmRAP2.3 in chrysanthemum waterlogging stress. Overexpression of CmRAP2.3 enhances waterlogging tolerance by reducing reactive oxygen species levels. It is also found that the transcription factor CmERF5 activates CmRAP2.3 expression and improves chrysanthemum waterlogging tolerance.

Summary: A novel workflow was developed for quickly differentiating between C. morifolium flower and C. indicum flower. Differences in anti-inflammatory effects and HPLC fingerprint analysis were used to identify markers and build a binary logistic regression equation for successful differentiation. The established workflow is rapid, effective, and highly feasible, providing a powerful tool for herb identification.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Chrysanthemum morifolium extract can reduce the heart damage caused by the anticancer drug doxorubicin. The extract suppressed cell death in heart cells and heart failure in an animal model. Further research is needed to understand the effect of the extract on heart failure in humans.

Summary: Flavonoids, specifically flavones and flavonols, play important roles in determining flower color and regulating plant growth and development. The expression of CmFNS and CmFLS genes in chrysanthemums have been shown to be crucial for flavone and flavonol biosynthesis, ultimately influencing flower coloration.

Summary: In this study, nine CmPEBP genes were identified for the first time in the Hangzhou White Chrysanthemum, and their biological role in flowering was preliminarily studied. The CmPEBP genes were classified into three subfamilies and showed tissue-specific expression patterns. Their expression patterns also varied under different temperatures and hormone stressors. This research is important for understanding the flowering and floral organ development of the Hangzhou White Chrysanthemum, especially in response to exogenous hormone spraying.

Summary: This study explored the quality marker of Chrysanthemum morifolium (CM) based on spectrum-effect relationship and quality control strategy. By analyzing the chromatographic fingerprint of CM samples from different habitats and performing in-vitro radical scavenging capacity assays, the researchers identified several common peaks that could be used as quality markers for CM. The analysis strategy used in this study provides a comprehensive quality assessment of CMs.

Summary: Chrysanthemum morifolium cv. Fubaiju (CMF) essential oil (CMF-EO) contains various volatile compounds and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of several fungal strains. The potential antifungal mechanisms of CMF-EO include damage to fungal cytoplasmic membrane, mitochondria, and DNA, making it challenging for fungi to develop resistance against it, which could contribute to the development of new antifungal agents.

Summary: The early wilting and yellowing of leaves in response to ethylene is the main limitation affecting the vase quality of cut chrysanthemums. In this study, an ethylene-sensitive chrysanthemum variety was identified and differentially expressed genes in response to ethylene treatment were identified using sequencing technology. These differentially expressed genes are mainly involved in plant hormone synthesis and signal transduction, chlorophyll metabolism, aquaporins, and reactive oxygen species. This study lays the foundation for future research on the molecular mechanisms of ethylene-mediated leaf senescence in cut chrysanthemums.

Summary: This study investigates how the capitulum of Chrysanthemum morifolium balances the accumulation and emission of floral terpenoid volatiles for defense against antagonists and attraction of pollinators. The results show that the capitula produce and emit complex mixtures of monoterpenoids and sesquiterpenoids, with the highest concentrations detected in the bud stage and the highest emission level prior to full blooming. The disc florets are the dominant organs of terpenoid accumulation and emission in the full-openness stage. Several key terpene synthase genes have been identified, which may play critical roles in terpenoid biosynthesis.
