澳大學人解密人參如何抵抗病原菌
澳門大學今(23)日舉行“澳大學人研究講壇”第19講,由澳大中華醫藥研究院、中藥質量研究國家重點實驗室教授兼課程主任萬建波以“解密人參屬藥用植物的雙元素化學防禦系統”為題發表演說。講座現場反響熱烈,座無虛席。
講座上,萬建波首先介紹了中藥三七的藥效、地理分佈及化學成分,並講述了他對中藥三七葉進行成分分析時得到的意外發現。他表示,植物為應對環境中的各種威脅,通過產生次生代謝產物來適應環境,其中化學防禦在植物生存中發揮著重要作用。萬建波詳細闡述了他如何通過科學方法發現三七葉中存在位於葉綠體的新型β-葡萄糖苷水解酶和原人參二醇型皂苷組成的雙元素化學防禦系統。該發現將有助理解人參屬植物如何抵抗病原菌入侵,並為綠色植物源農藥的開發提供思路。
萬建波於2008年獲得澳大生物醫藥博士學位。他主要從事中藥質量系統評價和代謝組學研究,發表SCI論文200餘篇,連續三年(2021—2023)入選全球前2%科學家年度榜單,並擔任國際中醫藥學會官方刊物《Chinese Medicine》的執行編輯。
澳大近年在研究創新方面取得顯著成效,澳大研究服務及知識轉移辦公室因而組織開展“澳大學人研究講壇”,邀請傑出的澳大學人以通俗易懂的方式介紹其前沿研究成果,培育通過學術研究創造知識的良好氛圍,指引大眾和青年學生了解研究創新的社會意義和價值,以及與日常生活密切關聯的應用性,提升科學素養。

UM scholar gives talk on how Panax plants resist pathogen invasion
The University of Macau (UM) held a talk titled ‘Natural Defense Shield: Deciphering the Two-component Chemical Defense System of Panax Plants’ as the 19th UM Scholar Research Forum. Wan Jianbo, professor and programme coordinator at the Institute of Chinese Medical Sciences and the State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, was the speaker. The talk was well attended by faculty members and students.
During the talk, Prof Zhou first presented the efficacy, geographical distribution and chemical composition of Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng. He also explained how he discovered the two-component chemical defence system in the leaves of Panax notoginseng, which contributes to our understanding of how Panax plants resist pathogen invasion and provides insights into the development of green pesticides.
