Ginseng black spot disease resulting from Alternaria panax Whuetz is a common soil-borne disease, with an annual incidence rate which is higher than 20% ∼ 30%. The bacterial strains with good antagonistic effect against A. panax are screened.

Bioactive compounds in plant extracts are able to reduce metal ions to nanoparticles through the process of green synthesis. Panax ginseng is an oriental medicinal herb and an adaptogen which has been used to cure various diseases from long history. In addition, the P. ginseng leaves mediated gold nanoparticles are the value-added novel materials. Its potential as a cosmetic ingredient is still unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, moisture retention and whitening properties of gold nanoparticles (PgAuNPs) in cosmetic applications.

Red ginseng is a popularly used traditional medicine with anti-aging effects in Asian countries. The present study aimed to explore changes in protein expression underlying the mechanisms of lifespan extension and anti-aging caused by red ginseng extract (RGE) in Drosophila melanogaster.

Panax notoginseng is a highly valued medicine and functional food, whose quality is considered to be influenced by the sizes, botanical parts and growth environments.

Ginsenoside Rg3(S) and C-K are pharmacologically active components of ginseng that promote human health and improve quality of life. The aim of this study was to produce Rg3(S) and C-K from ginseng extract using recombinant Lactococcus lactis.
