“…Its tuber is frequently used for medicinal purposes ( Sun B. et al, 2022 ; Zhu et al, 2023 ). The primary components include polysaccharides, phenanthrenes, phenanthroquinones, bibenzyls, triterpenes, lignans, and organic acids, showcasing a range of biological activities such as anti-inflammatory ( Jiang et al, 2019 ; Zhang C. et al, 2021 ), antifibrotic ( Jiang et al, 2023 ), anti-tumor ( Liu et al, 2022 ), and immune-regulatory effects ( Gong et al, 2023 ), thereby highlighting its significant medicinal value. Furthermore, due to the vivid and diverse colors of B. striata flowers, their prolonged blooming period, and strong adaptability, they have commendable applications in horticulture.…”

IntroductionForest medicinal compound systems in agroforestry ecosystems represent a multi-layered cultivation approach that utilizes forest resources efficiently. However, research on how these systems affect soil nutrients and microbial communities is limited.MethodsThis study compared the soil chemical properties and microbial communities of Bletilla striata (C) grown alone versus in agroforestry systems with apple (PB), pear (LB), and peach trees (TB), aiming to understand the impact of these systems on soil health and microbial diversity.ResultsSoil in the GAB systems showed increased levels of essential nutrients but lower pH and ammonium nitrogen levels compared to the control. Significant improvements in organic matter, total phosphorus, and total potassium were observed in TB, PB, and LB systems, respectively. The bacterial diversity increased in GAB systems, with significant changes in microbial phyla indicative of a healthier soil ecosystem. The correlation between soil properties and bacterial communities was stronger than with fungal communities.DiscussionIntegrating B. striata with fruit trees enhances soil nutrients and microbial diversity but may lead to soil acidification. Adjustments such as using controlled-release fertilizers and soil amendments like lime could mitigate negative impacts, improving soil health in GAB systems.

“…It is widely recognized that the molecular weight ( M w ) of the natural polysaccharides has a profound impact on their bioactivities (Jiang, Wang, et al., 2023). Excessively high M w hinders their ability to penetrate cell membranes and exert pharmacological effects, whereas too tiny M w compromises their ability to form active polymer structures (Ai et al., 2012).…”

Polysaccharides are promising biomolecules with lowtoxicity and diverse bioactivities in food processing and clinical drug development. However, an essential prerequisite for their applications is the fine structure characterization. Due to the complexity of polysaccharide structure, partial degradation is a powerful tool for fine structure analysis, which can effectively provide valid information on the structure of backbone and branching glycosidic fragments of complex polysaccharides. This review aims to conclude current methods of partial degradation employed for polysaccharide structural characterization, discuss the molecular mechanisms, and describe the molecular structure and solution properties of degraded polysaccharides. In addition, the effects of polysaccharide degradation on the conformational relationships between the molecular structure and bioactivities, such as antioxidant, antitumor, and immunomodulatory activities, are also discussed. Finally, we summarize the prospects and current challenges for the partial degradation of polysaccharides. This review will be of great value for the scientific elucidation of polysaccharide fine structures and potential applications.
