Tiger Lily
Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium)
Lilium lancifolium, a lily native to Asia and the Russian far east, is an herbaceous flowering plant that starts from a bulb. It is also now established in eastern North America and has many successful varieties. It is distinguished by a bright orange flower with dark spots on petals that curl back to the base, and the dark, reproductive bulbils that grow at the base of its leaves. The bulbs generate clones of the plant they come from. Historically prized in the east for its edible bulbs, it is used as an ornamental garden plant in the west. A variety of extracts from Tiger Lily bulbs are being investigated for cancer cell suppression, promotion of beneficial gut biome, as well as the treatment of the effects of menopause, depression, and inflammation.

- Metabolomics integrated with transcriptomics provides insights into the phenylpropanoids biosynthesis pathway in Lilium davidii var. unicolor and L. lancifolium Thunbby Minmin Chen on August 28, 2024 at 10:00 am
Lilium spp. is a world-famous bulbous flower with outstanding ornamental, edible, and medicinal value. Evaluating the taste of edible lilies and identifying important active substances and genes are necessary for germplasm improvement, new variety breeding, and industrial application. To better understand the phenylpropanoids and regalosides biosynthesis, L. davidii var. unicolor and L. lancifolium Thunb. bulbs were used for transcriptome and metabolite analysis. Results showed that the phenols…

- Mechanistic understanding of the improved drying characteristics and quality attributes of lily (Lilium lancifolium Thunb.) by modified microstructure after pulsed electric field (PEF) pretreatmentby Gangcheng Bao on June 30, 2024 at 10:00 am
The effects of the non-thermal (pulsed electric field, PEF) and thermal pretreatment (vacuum steam pulsed blanching, VSPB) on the drying kinetics, quality attributes, and multi-dimensional microstructure of lily scales were investigated. The results indicate that both PEF and VSPB pretreatments improved the drying rate compared to untreated lily scales. Specifically, PEF pretreatment reduced the drying time by 29.58 % – 43.60 %, while VSPB achieved a 46.91 % reduction in drying time. PEF…
- Combined transcriptome and metabolome analyses reveal the effects of selenium on the growth and quality of Lilium lancifoliumby Xiaogang Jiang on June 3, 2024 at 10:00 am
Lilium lancifolium Thunb (L. lancifolium) is an important medicinal and edible plant with outstanding functionality for selenium (Se) biofortification. However, the molecular response of L. lancifolium to exogenous Se has not been fully elucidated. In this study, the effects of different levels of Se on L. lancifolium growth and quality were explored by transcriptome, metabolome and biochemical analyses. The results showed that the total Se and organic Se content in L. lancifolium bulbs…
