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.

- Microbial Community of Wilted Fritillaria ussuriensis and Biocontrol Effects of Bacillus tequilensis and Trichoderma koningiopsisby Hao Wu on November 27, 2024 at 11:00 am
The cultivation of Fritillaria ussuriensis faces challenges due to the prevalent Fritillaria wilt disease, hindering large-scale production. To address this, we aimed to understand the disease’s characteristics and develop effective prevention measures. Microbial communities of diseased F. ussuriensis plants were analyzed, pathogenic and antagonistic strains were screened, and biocontrol feasibility was tested. We identified Botryotinia predominance in aboveground parts and variations in Mrakia,…

CONCLUSION: This paper has reviewed the active metabolites of R. glutinosa-Lilium and demonstrated its efficacy in the treatment of depression, as well as its role in modulating the underlying mechanisms of the disorder. The findings aim to serve as a reference for further research into the mechanisms of depression, its clinical applications, and the development of novel therapeutic agents.
- Histological, Transcriptomic, and Functional Analyses Reveal the Role of Gibberellin in Bulbil Development in Lilium lancifoliumby Shanshan Du on November 9, 2024 at 11:00 am
Lily bulbils, advantageous axillary organs used for asexual reproduction, have an underexplored developmental mechanism. Gibberellins are known to participate in bulbil development, but the regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, exogenous gibberellin (GA(3)) significantly increased the bulbil length, width, and weight by raising the endogenous gibberellin levels and elongating the scale cells. Transcriptomic analysis identified LlGA20ox2, a key gibberellin biosynthesis gene, which…
- Aquo-ethanolic extract of Lilii Bulbus attenuates dexamethasone-induced muscle loss and enhances muscle strength in experimental miceby Aeyung Kim on November 1, 2024 at 10:00 am
Traditionally, Lilium lancifolium bulb is known for its ability to nourish yin, nourish the lungs, clear the heart, soothe coughs, reduce irritability, and calm the mind. In Oriental Medicine, it is categorized as a tonic remedy for alleviating symptoms of fatigue and enhancing the strength of bones and muscles. In this study, we aimed to validate the effectiveness of the aquo-ethanolic extract of Lilli Bulbus (LBE) in a dexamethasone (DEX)-induced muscle atrophy model, both in vitro and in…
- The HPLC-PDA Method for Simultaneous Determination of Regalosides from Bulbs of Lilium lancifolium Thunb. and Their Antioxidant Effectsby Chang-Seob Seo on October 16, 2024 at 10:00 am
Lilium lancifolium Thunb. is a herbal medicine that is widely used to treat inflammation and lung diseases. In this study, a simultaneous quantitative method was developed for the quality control of BLL using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector (HPLC-PDA), and their antioxidant effects were evaluated. Eight regalosides (i.e., regaloside A, B, C, E, F, H, I, and K) were selected as marker substances and separated on a Gemini C(18) reversed-phase…
