Metabolomics analysis of mechanism of improving quality of Schisandrae chinensis fructus by NO combining with high-temperature stress.

ABSTRACT: The fruits of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. (Schisandrae chinensis fructus) are a well-known herbal medicine, known for its hepatoprotective, antidepressant, antioxidant, and sedative-hypnotic properties. Over-exploitation of wild resources led to the rise of cultivation, along with a decrease in quality. Exposure of plants to adversity must generate substantial quantities of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and result in cellular damage. In response, secondary metabolites are produced to neutralize ROS; these secondary metabolites are usually the active ingredient of herbal medicine, so the quality of herbal medicine is closely related to the environment and ROS. The interplay of exogenous Nitric Oxide (NO, supplied as sodium nitroprusside) and high-temperature stress can simulate adv
