The Role of Hemicellulose in Cadmium Tolerance in Ramie (Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaud.) [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Ramie cell walls play an important role in cadmium (Cd) detoxification. However, the Cd binding capacity of the cell wall components and the cell wall compositions among ramie species remains unclear. Therefore, this study compared two ramie populations (‘Dazhuhuangbaima’ (low-Cd-accumulating population) and ‘Zhongzhu 1’ (high-Cd-accumulating ...

Various Biological Activities of Ramie (Boehmeria nivea)
Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry, 2014 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the biological activities of extracts of ramie (Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaud.), hereafter referred to as Bn. Bn extracts from various collecting area were extracted with methanol. Two extracts from our study, Bn-13 and -82, showed significant antioxidant properties, likely due to their ability to scavenge free ...
