Modern biotechnology can be optimized to massproduce plants of specific chemical composition for use as particular treatments and applications. In this review, we have used one of the most important ...

A pioneering study has completed the first gap-free genome assembly of Scutellaria baicalensis, a medicinal plant known for its potent therapeutic properties.

The Chinese skullcap, Scutellaria baicalensis -- otherwise known in Chinese medicine as Huang-Qin -- is traditionally used as a treatment for fever, liver and lung complaints.

Medicinal plants have been used as traditional remedies for hundreds of years. Among them, S. barbata has been traditionally used in treatment of hepatitis, inflammation, osteomyelitis and ...

A recent study has decoded the complex biosynthetic pathways of Scutellaria baicalensis, a medicinal plant celebrated for its anticancer and antiviral properties.

Despite the commercial interest and increasing demand for Scutellaria, improvements through breeding have been limited by a lack of genome information. The team took DNA from a single plant at the ...
