Paeonia rockii
Paeonia rockii
Paeonia rockii, a species of tree peony native to China, has not been traditionally used in any known medical practices. Scientific research indicates that it plays a role in regulating petal coloration through genetic mechanisms involving PrFRS2 and PrMYB75a, as well as in the accumulation of α-linolenic acid in its seeds via transcription factors such as PrASR3 and PrDREB2D. These findings suggest potential applications for improving seed oil content and composition but are currently limited to basic biological studies. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been reported, though further research is necessary to explore broader applications of Paeonia rockii.

What the science says
- The study identifies a regulatory module involving PrFRS2 and PrMYB75a that controls petal background coloration in Paeonia rockii.
- The study found that the transcription factor PrASR3 regulates α-linolenic acid (ALA) accumulation in tree peony seeds by inhibiting PrPDAT2 transcription.
- The study found that the tree peony transcription factor PrDREB2D regulates seed α-linolenic acid accumulation by activating PrPDAT2 expression.
- The study identified three tree peony cultivars with higher oil content and unsaturated fatty acid levels than 'Fengdan', suggesting potential for breeding new oil tree peonies.
