The invention discloses a preservation method of fresh dendrobium nobile branches. The method comprises the main steps as follows: picked dendrobium nobile is cleaned after bud leaves are removed andsecondary stems are rejected; the cleaned fresh dendrobium nobile branches are spread at normal temperature for 12 h; the fresh dendrobium nobile branches are soaked in a normal-temperature aqueous solution containing 2%-3% of tea phlyphenol and 3%-5% of tea polysaccharide for 30 s in batches, then, the fresh dendrobium nobile branches are taken out and placed in a bamboo sieve to be aired, and the dried fresh dendrobium nobile branches are placed in clean cartons according to packaging specifications and delivered. The clean dendrobium nobile branches are left to stand in a shade place for about 12 h, so that cuts can quickly form callus by use of the emergency regulation function of fresh branches to prevent wounds from infection, the tea polyphenol is used for quick soaking to play sterilization and bacteriostasis roles, the tea polysaccharide is used for quick soaking to form polysaccharide film layers to effectively weaken respiration intensity and moisture diffusion of the freshdendrobium nobile branches, and the weight maintenance and preservation effects are realized.

The present invention relates generally to a nucleic acid molecule which is expressed in at least the stomach, hypothalamus or liver identified using differential display techniques under differing physiological conditions.
