Assam-indigo
Strobilanthes cusia
Strobilanthes cusia is a plant traditionally used for dyeing in Guangxi, China. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, studies have shown promising antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hypoglycemic activities in vitro and in vivo, though human trials are lacking to confirm these effects. The genetic diversity of the plant has been studied through population structure analysis and pseudogene identification, providing insights into its evolution and potential breeding strategies. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.

Was die Wissenschaft sagt
- Die Studie baute das Pan-Plastome von Strobilanthes cusia und ermittelte genetische Vielfalt durch Populationenstruktur-Analyse, wobei Einblicke in seine Evolution und Zucht gewonnen wurden.
- Diese Bewertung betont die fortlaufenden globalen Untersuchungen von Strobilanthes crispus und Strobilanthes cusia mit versprechender in vitro und in vivo antimikrobieller, antiinflammatorischer, antitumoraler oder hypoglykämierender Aktivität, aber fehlt menschliche Studien.
- Die Studie dokumentierte 166 traditionelle Färbepflanzenarten in Guangxi, wobei Strobilanthes cusia eine der am häufigsten verwendeten Arten ist.
- Es wurden insgesamt 3156 Pseudogenen in Strobilanthes cusia identifiziert, wobei einige in Tissueien mit Abwehrfunktionen ausgedrückt werden.
