Astragalusgenus[no description available]FabaceaeThe large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of beans belong to this family.[MeSH]

Research Excerpts

Overview

Cycloastragenol (CAG) is a sapogenin derived from the main bioactive constituents of Astragali Radix. Cycloastrage is a natural telomerase activator, and could be useful as a permanent component of oocyte maturation media.
