Free and bound sterols of leaves of five mulberry cultivars differing in their susceptibility to small leaf curl disease have been studied. The total content of sterols in all samples is similar and is not correlated with the resistance of the cultivars. The qualitative composition of particular sterols is also identical. They are represented by cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, and two 4alpha-methylsterols. The leaves of the most sensitive cultivar are characterized by high cholesterol content. The ratio sitosterol : stigmasterol decreased in proportion to the resistance level of a cultivar. 相似文献

The following sterols were found in the roots, stems, leaves, unripe and ripe fruits of Solanum dulcamara: cholesterol, sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, brassicasterol, isofucosterol and 24-methylenecholesterol. The most abundant components are cholesterol, sitosterol and stigmasterol (77–84%). In all parts of the plant the sterols are present in the free form and as esters, glycosides and acylated glycosides. The total sterol content and the content of combined forms were determined photometrically. In the leaves 58% of the sterols were found in the form of glycoside (26%), acylated glycoside (29%) and ester (2%). In the roots only 25% of the sterol were found in combined form. In the other organs the ratio of free and combined sterols was intermediate. In all cases, the ester fraction was the least. 相似文献

The sterols of prepupal honey bees, Apis mellifera L., from brood reared by workers fed chemically-defined synthetic diets containing cholesterol, campesterol, sitosterol, stigmasterol, 24-methylenecholesterol, or no sterol over a 12-week period were isolated, identified, and quantified. The major sterol present in each prepupal sample was 24-methylenecholesterol, but significant levels of sitosterol and isofucosterol were also present in every case, as was a very small percentage of desmosterol (usually < 1%). This is the first report of isofucosterol being identified in the sterols of the honey bee. A considerably larger percentage of each dietary sterol was found in prepupae reared by workers fed that particular sterol in the diet. This was most dramatic in the case of the cholesterol diet in which case cholesterol content increased to as much as 17.2% of the prepupal sterols, whereas cholesterol had not exceeded 2.2% in samples from other diet regimens. However, stigmasterol comprised no more than 6.3% of the total sterols in any sample from prepupae fed the stigmasterol diet. The preponderance of 24-methylenecholesterol in all prepupae, regardless of the dietary sterol provided to the workers, as well as the lesser quantities of sitosterol and isofucosterol present in all samples, suggest a unique system of utilization and metabolism of these dietary sterols by the worker bees. Apparently they make available to the brood varying amounts of unchanged dietary sterol plus considerable and fairly constant portions of 24-methylenecholesterol, sitosterol, and isofucosterol drawn from their own sterol pools. 相似文献

Gibberellic acid (GA3) stimulated shoot elongation in both dwarf and tall cultivars of pea, but more so in the dwarf cultivar. The sterol composition of shoots of both cultivars was similar, with sitosterol being the most abundant compound, followed by stigmasterol and campesterol. Cholesterol could not be detected. Following GA3 application, levels of free sterols in whole shoots increased whereas glycoside levels tended to fall. The magnitudes of the changes in both classes of sterol were similar in both cultivars. Analyses of stems and leaves separately revealed a greater growth response to GA3 in the former but no effect of the hormone on the sterol composition of either organ. It is concluded that GA3 enhancement of shoot growth in pea is not mediated through quantitative changes in cell sterols. 相似文献

The main sterols in winter wheat crowns and roots were sitosterol and campesterol, with significant amounts of stigmasterol and traces of cholesterol. The main groups of sterol-containing lipids were free sterols, steryl glucosides, steryl esters and esterified steryl glucosides. Sterol analysis within each group showed little difference between them. Steryl esters were relatively rich in cholesterol and poor in stigmasterol. Free sterols were rich in stigmasterol. Low temperature caused an increase in sterol content but had little effect on sterol composition and sterol to lipid P ratio. There was some increase in steryl esters and some decrease in free sterols. Cholesterol and stigmasterol decreased in the steryl ester and free sterol fractions, respectively. There was little evidence for involvement of sterols in winter wheat frost hardening. 相似文献

In 3- and 14-day-old seedlings and in the leaves of Calendula officinalis the following sterols were identified: cholestanol, campestanol, stigmastanol, cholest-7-en-3-β-ol, 24-methylcholest-7-en-3β-ol, stigmast-7-en-3β-ol, cholesterol, campesterol, sitosterol, 24-methylcholesta-5,22-dien-3β-ol, 24-methylenecholesterol, stigmasterol and clerosterol. Sitosterol was predominant in young and stigmasterol in old tissues. Young tissues contained relatively more campesterol but in old tissues a C28Δ5,22 diene was present suggesting transformation of campesterol to its Δ5,22 analog, similar to that of sitosterol to stigmasterol. All the identified sterols were present as free compounds and also in the steryl esters, glucosides, acylated glucosides and water-soluble complexes. The variations in the amounts of these fractions in the embryo axes and cotyledons of 3- and 14-day-old seedlings and the distribution of individual sterols among the fractions are discussed. 相似文献

Southwestern corn borer larvae, Diatraea grandiosella Dyar, were reared on artificial diets containing individual sterols (cholesterol, sitosterol, or stigmasterol) in concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.2%. Female larvae developed to pupae more rapidly as sitosterol and stigmasterol were increased in the diets. Increased cholesterol concentrations did not affect the larval period significantly, and development was not as rapid as with the phytosterols. Female larvae developed at significantly slower rates in all diets than did males, except at the highest concentrations of sitosterol and stigmasterol. Female pupae and adults were significantly heavier than the males, and pupal and adult weight increased as sterol concentrations increased. Number of eggs laid per fertilized female and egg hatchability were significantly increased as concentrations of the three sterols were increased in the larval diets. Sitosterol-reared females produced more eggs than did females reared on other sterols but egg hatchability was not significantly different among sterols. 相似文献

The dietary sterols, cholesterol, campesterol, sitosterol, stigmasterol and 24-methylenecholesterol, were tested for their ability to support brood rearing in the honey bee, Apis mellifera L., by adding them singly to a chemically-defined worker bee diet. Diet supplemented with 24-methylenecholesterol supported the greatest survival of worker bees, but diet supplemented with either 24-methylenecholesterol or cholesterol supported the production of nearly equivalent amounts of sealed brood and more than any of the other three sterols tested. Diets containing stigmasterol, sitosterol, campesterol, or no supplement produced less sealed brood, in decreasing order. 相似文献

Whole body sterol metabolism in insects has seldom been studied. We were able to design an appropriate study at a butterfly farm in Belize. We collected six larvas of butterfly (Morpho peleides), their food (leaves of Pterocarpus bayessii), and their excretions. In addition, six adult butterflies were collected. The sterols of the diet, the larva, and adult butterfly were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. The structures of these sterols were identified by digitonin precipitation, GC-MS, and NMR. Four sterols (cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and sitosterol) and a sterol mixture were found in the food, the body, and the excreta of the larva. The tissue sterol content of the larva was 326 microg. They consumed 276 microg of sterols per day. Their excretion was 185 microg per day as sterols. The total tissue sterol contents of the larva and butterfly were similar, but they had different sterol compositions, which indicated interconversion of sterols during development. There was a progressive increase in the cholesterol content from larva to butterfly and a decrease in the content of sitosterol and other plant sterols, which were likely converted to cholesterol. Our data indicated an active sterol metabolism in butterfly larva. Diet played an important role in determining its sterol composition. During metamorphosis, there was an interconversion of sterols. This is the first paper documenting the fecal sterol excretion in insects as related to dietary intakes. 相似文献

The steroids of normal and male-sterile (Texas type) genotypes of maize were investigated during tassel development. A bioassay for estrogen activity of the normal meiotic and postmeiotic tassels was negative, indicating estrogen activity (estrone equivalent) much less than one ng/g of plant tissue. The sterols found were cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, sitosterol, and probably isofucosterol, stigmast-7-enol, and 24-methylenecholesterol. In the premeiotic, meiotic, and postmeiotic stages of both genotypes between 300 and 400 μg of C28 and C29 free sterols per g tassels (wet wt) were found, the proportions of the sterols being ca 45% sitosterol, 30% stigmasterol, and 13% campesterol, with less than 5% each of the remaining sterols. In all three stages before saponification more free sterols were found in the normal than in the male-sterile tassels. The differences were significant at the 95% level in the meiotic and post-meiotic stages. The amounts of these sterols derived from esters decreased from approximately 140 μg/g in the premeiotic stage to 50 μg/g in the meiotic stage, and to an undetectable amount in the postmeiotic stage. After application of cholesterol-[4-14C] to the normal and male-sterile maize leaves for 3 days at meiosis, the label was found in the free sterols and steryl esters of the leaves but only in the free sterols of the tassels. 相似文献

None of the fourteen thermophilic moulds was able to break down the aliphatic side chain of sterols,viz. cholesterol, lanosterol, sitosterol, and stigmasterol so as to yield 4-androstene-3, 17-dione, 1,4-androstadiene-3, 17-dione
and progesterone. InAcremonium alabamensis and.Talaromyces emersonii, cholestenone was detected as a product of fermentation of cholesterol whereas the former yielded stigmastadienone from stigmasterol
and sitosterol. Lanosterol appeared to be resistant to fungal bioconversion. All the thermophilic moulds exhibited avidity
for binding sterols to the mycelium, but the ability to bind sterol seemed to depend upon the nature of the organism and the
sterol. 相似文献

The following sterols were identified in barley shoots: stigmasterol, β-sitosterol, campesterol, and cholesterol. The total sterol content of green and etiolated tissue was 2.84 and 3.20 milligrams per gram dry weight, respectively. The free sterols accounted for most of the difference in total sterol content. The sterol ester, sterol glycoside, and acylated sterol glycoside contents of green and etiolated barley shoots were essentially the same. Etiolated tissue had twice as much total β-sitosterol as stigmasterol, while green tissue had equal amounts of these two sterols. The campesterol and cholesterol content was the same in green and etiolated tissue. This same sterol composition pattern held true for the free, glycosidic, and acylated glycosidic sterols; however, the sterol ester fraction had a completely different composition pattern. The esterified stigmasterol content was quite low in green and etiolated tissue, and campesterol was the second largest esterfied sterol component in etiolated tissue. Etiolated barley seedlings exposed to light had a shift in the ratio of free stigmasterol to β-sitosterol in favor of stigmasterol; however, no correlation was observed between chlorophyll synthesis and shift in sterol composition. 相似文献

The in vitro effects of plant sterols were investigated with regard to their uptake and membrane lipid fluidity in human keratinocytes. Among the different media tested to transport sterols (liposomes, micelles and organic solvents), the best results in terms of incorporation and viability were obtained by the use of the organic solvents dimethylsulfoxide and ethanol. After 48 h incubation exogenous sterol can account for about 30% of the total cell sterol content. The total sterol amount in plasma membranes increased 2-fold after incubation with cholesterol, whereas it was not altered when phytosterols were incorporated. The incorporation of cholesterol, sitosterol and stigmasterol led to an increase in the percent of unsaturated fatty acid C18:1 in the plasma membrane. The effect of this uptake on membrane fluidity was studied by means of fluorescence polarisation using DPH and TMA-DPH as fluorescent probes. Whereas cholesterol and sitosterol had no significant effect on the DPH fluorescence anisotropy (rs), the presence of stigmasterol induced a 12% decrease of rs reflecting an increase in membrane fluidity. We can conclude from this study that in the presence of sitosterol, the mean fluidity of the membrane is regulated whereas stigmasterol triggers a looseness of molecular packing of phospholipids acyl chains, in accordance with previous results obtained on purely lipid model membranes. 相似文献

Sitosterol and stigmasterol are major sterols in vascular plants. An altered stigmasterol:sitosterol ratio has been proposed
to influence the properties of cell membranes, particularly in relation to various stresses, but biosynthesis of stigmasterol
is poorly understood. Recently, however, Morikawa et al. (Plant Cell 18:1008–1022, 2006) showed in Arabidopsis thaliana that synthesis of stigmasterol and brassicasterol is catalyzed by two separate sterol C-22 desaturases, encoded by the genes
CYP710A1 and CYP710A2, respectively. The proteins belong to a small cytochrome P450 subfamily having four members, denoted by CYP710A1-A4, and
are related to the yeast sterol C-22 desaturase Erg5p acting in ergosterol synthesis. Here, we report on our parallel investigation
of the Arabidopsis CYP710A family. To elucidate the function of CYP710A proteins, transgenic Arabidopsis plants were generated overexpressing CYP710A1 and CYP710A4. Compared to wild-type plants, both types of transformant displayed a normal phenotype, but contained increased levels of
free stigmasterol and a concomitant decrease in the level of free sitosterol. CYP710A1 transformants also displayed higher
levels of esterified forms of stigmasterol, cholesterol, 24-methylcholesterol and isofucosterol. The results confirm the findings
of Morikawa et al. (Plant Cell 18:1008–1022, 2006) regarding the function of CYP710A1 in stigmasterol synthesis, and show that CYP710A4 also has this capacity. Furthermore,
our results suggest that an increased stigmasterol level alone is sufficient to stimulate esterification of other major sterols. 相似文献

Sterols, sterylglycosides (SG), acylated sterylglycosides (ASG) and steroidal saponins of primary leaves of oat ( Avena sativa L. cv. Flämingskrone) were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. Intact leaves, epidermis preparations, epidermis-stripped leaves, isolated protoplasts and chloroplasts were compared. The mesophyll contained 79% of the total leaf sterols, 80% of the SG and 78% of the ASG, but only 33–67% of the saponins. Free sterols, SG and ASG were mainly localized within the mesophyll, whereas steroidal saponins were localized in the epidermis to a significantly higher extent. The sterol parts consisted mainly of sitosterol, stigmasterol. cholesterol. Δ5 -avenasterol, Δ7 -avenasterol, campesterol and Δ7 -cholestenol, and were quantitatively different in different sterol groups. A higher percentage of sitosterol at the expense of stigmasterol was typical for SG and ASG as compared to free sterols. Only minor differences in the sterol composition were found in a given sterol group when isolated from different tissues. Isolated protoplasts contained only 5–9% of the sterols present in mesophyll cells, indicating that the major part of the free sterols was lost during isolation. Exposure of radioactively labelled leaf segments to either buffer or digestion medium induced rapid transformation of sterols to SG and ASG as shown by the shift of radioactivity from free sterols to the glyeosides. This suggests that two sterol pools exist in the cell: one in the plasmalemma, which is accessible to medium-induced transformation, and a second non-accessible pool in the interior membranes (e.g. chloroplasts) of the cell. 相似文献

Plasma membrane preparations from soybean root and hypocotyl contained the following free sterols: cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and sitosterol. The cholesterol level was relatively low in root plasma membrane (less than 0.5%) but was 1.4 to 2.4% in hypocotyl membrane. The relative levels of the three other sterols fluctuated with cellular development and tissue source. Campesterol level decreased with the development of both root and hypocotyl membrane. With development, stigmasterol increased greatly in root membrane but remained constant in hypocotyl membrane, and sitosterol, the major free sterol component of all membrane preparations, decreased in root membrane but increased slightly in hypocotyl membrane. 相似文献
