Polyphenolic Content and Physiological Activities of Chinese Hawthorn Extracts

Hawthorn polyphenol (HP) was prepared by ethyl acetate treatment of the ethanol extract (HE) of Chinese hawthorn fruit. The concentrations of 15 polyphenols in the HP, HE, extraction residue (HJ), and a hawthorn leaf extract (HF) were determined by HPLC. For HP, the total content of the 15 polyphenols was 21.4%, comprised of 19.7% of procyanidins, 1.21% of chlorogenic acid, and 0.48% of flavonoids, compared to 2.55% for the HE. The yields of procyanidin monomer, dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer were 50.5%, 30.3%, 23.0%, 14.6%, and 12.5% respectively, and the mean degree of polymerization was reduced to 1.39 (HP) from 1.65 (HE). Seven different physiological actions of the four extracts were investigated. The HP showed strong O₂ ^? and ^?OH scavenging capacities (IC₅₀ values of 6.3 μg/ml and 1.1 μg/ml respectively), as well as selective prolyl endopeptidase inhibition (IC₅₀ of 60 μg/ml). The active constituents appeared to be procyanidins.

Antioxidant Properties of the Major Polyphenolic Compounds in Broccoli

We have examined the antioxidant activity of the major phenolic compounds in Broccoli: two flavonol glycosides (quercetin 3-O-sophoroside and kaemp-ferol 3-O-sophoroside) and four hydroxycinnamic acid esters (1,2'-disinapoyl-2-feruloyl gentiobiose, 1-sinapoyl-2-feruloyl gentiobiose, 1,2,2'-trisinapoyl gentiobiose and 1,2-disinapoyl gentiobiose). The Trolox C equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and inhibition of iron/ascorbate-induced lipid per-oxidation of phosphatidyl choline vesicles were measured. In the aqueous phase TEAC assay, the two flavonol glycosides were less active than their respective aglycones. TEAC values for the hydroxycinnamic acid esters were less than the sum of their constituent hydroxycinnamic acids on a molar basis. Quercetin 3-O-sophoroside was a potent inhibitor of lipid peroxidation, in contrast to kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside. The hydroxycinnamic acid esters were highly effective at preventing lipid damage with the exception of 1,2,2'-trisinapoyl gentiobiose. The six compounds analysed herein demonstrate the antioxidant activity of the major phenolics in broccoli and indicate the effect on antioxidant activity of sugar substitutions in the phenolic B ring.     

温度对谷皮菱形藻生长及其理化成分的影响

考察了不同温度对谷皮菱形藻生长及其理化成分的影响。结果表明:温度在10℃或30℃条件下不利于细胞生长,同时也不利于胞内理化成分的积累。在20℃条件下细胞密度、叶绿素含量、胞内蛋白、胞外多糖及胞内多糖达到最大值。谷皮菱形藻的最适生长温度为20℃,10℃可以作为种质保存的温度。     

炭疽病菌侵染对荔枝果实生理生化变化的影响

本研究测定了荔枝果实人工接种炭疽病菌后呼吸速率、乙烯释放量的变化和果皮氧化、过氧化作用以及与酚类代谢有关的几种酶活性的变化。结果表明,接种炭疽病菌的荔枝果实呼吸速率和乙烯释放量显著增高,果皮活性氧(O₂^·)产生速率和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著增加,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性显著降低,过氧化物酶(POD)、多酚氧化酶(PPO)和苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)活性显著增高。说明炭疽病菌的侵染可导致荔枝果实呼吸速率和乙烯释放量的增高,加速荔枝果皮氧化和过氧化进程,并诱导荔枝果皮PPO、POD、PAL活性增高,是加速采收后荔枝果实衰老、褐变、腐烂的一个重要原因。     

水稻种衣剂对秧苗生理生化及叶绿素荧光参数的影响

以‘深两优5814’水稻种子为试验材料,用2.5%吡·咪、3%恶·咪、锐胜和适乐时分别包衣种子,测定水稻幼苗抗氧化酶活性、MDA含量、GSH含量、叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数,探讨种衣剂对幼苗的胁迫机理,为种衣剂的安全高效应用提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)种衣剂能提高水稻幼苗的抗氧化酶活性,播种后14d,2.5%吡·咪和锐胜处理组叶片的SOD活性上升,3%恶·咪处理组叶片的POD活性上升;播种后22d,2.5%吡·咪和3%恶·咪处理组叶片的CAT活性上升;播种后26d,锐胜和适乐时处理组叶片的CAT活性上升;2.5%吡·咪和3%恶·咪显著提高了播种后22d叶片的MDA含量。4种种衣剂均能提升幼苗叶片GSH含量,并以3%恶·咪的提升效果最为明显。(2)4种种衣剂均能降低叶绿素含量,但随培养时间的延长叶片内叶绿素含量逐渐恢复到正常水平。(3)4种种衣剂对水稻叶片最大光化学效率φPo无显著影响,吸光性能指数PIABS值也未呈下降趋势,比活性参数ABS/CSM值随培养时间的延长出现下降趋势,其中以3%恶·咪处理组下降最为明显;同时,3%恶·咪处理组叶片的热耗散DIo/CSM值也显著高于对照。研究认为,各种衣剂对水稻幼苗生长造成了一定的胁迫,但水稻自身防御体系能有效缓解农药胁迫作用,种衣剂的使用处于安全水平,但3%恶·咪的胁迫较严重,使用效果较差。     

干旱胁迫对烟草两品种幼苗生理生化特性及NtDEGP5基因表达的影响

以烟草Nicotianatabacum抗旱品种NC82和干旱敏感品种云烟87幼苗为材料,利用PEG-6000对幼苗进行干旱胁迫处理,研究干旱胁迫对烟草不同品种Fv/Fm、SOD活性、POD活性、MDA含量等生理生化指标及NtDEGP5基因表达的影响,为进一步开展NtDEGP5基因的功能研究提供依据。结果表明,干旱胁迫对烟苗的Fv/Fm、SOD活性、POD活性、MDA含量有影响,随着干旱的持续,Fv/Fm呈逐渐下降趋势,POD、SOD活性和MDA含量呈先升高后降低的趋势;不同品种对干旱胁迫的响应有差异,在干旱胁迫0～9 h,云烟87幼苗的Fv/Fm降幅大于NC82,POD、SOD活性、MDA含量的增幅小于NC82,胁迫12h后与对照差异不显著。干旱胁迫下不同品种、不同器官间的Nt DEGP5基因表达有差异,云烟87幼苗根、茎、叶中的表达量均较低,NC82幼苗根中的表达量较低,但干旱胁迫9～12 h后叶和茎的表达量较高。NC82幼苗叶片NtDEGP5基因表达量与Fv/Fm、POD活性、MDA含量呈显著正相关。Fv/Fm、SOD活性、POD活性、MDA含量可作为烟草苗期抗旱性评价指标,NtD...     

Inhibition of Cholera Toxin and Other AB Toxins by Polyphenolic Compounds

Cholera toxin (CT) is an AB-type protein toxin that contains a catalytic A1 subunit, an A2 linker, and a cell-binding B homopentamer. The CT holotoxin is released into the extracellular environment, but CTA1 attacks a target within the cytosol of a host cell. We recently reported that grape extract confers substantial resistance to CT. Here, we used a cell culture system to identify twelve individual phenolic compounds from grape extract that inhibit CT. Additional studies determined the mechanism of inhibition for a subset of the compounds: two inhibited CT binding to the cell surface and even stripped CT from the plasma membrane of a target cell; two inhibited the enzymatic activity of CTA1; and four blocked cytosolic toxin activity without directly affecting the enzymatic function of CTA1. Individual polyphenolic compounds from grape extract could also generate cellular resistance to diphtheria toxin, exotoxin A, and ricin. We have thus identified individual toxin inhibitors from grape extract and some of their mechanisms of inhibition against CT.     

Di-and triphosphate derivatives of acyclo- and arabinosylguanine. Effects on the polymerization of purified tubulin

Glutamate- and nucleotide-dependent polymerization of purified calf brain tubulin was used as a model system to study interactions of ribose-modified GDP and GTP analogs with tubulin. Earlier studies (Hamel, E., and Lin, C.M.(1981) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78,3368-3372) were extended to three additional sets of analogs: the di- and triphosphate derivatives of 9-beta-D-arabinofuranosylguanine (araGDP and araGTP) and acycloguanosine (9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl)guanine) (acycloGDP and acycloGTP), as well as the periodate-oxidized and borohydride-reduced derivatives of GDP and GTP (ox-redGDP and ox-redGTP). Disruption of the ribose ring in ox-redGTP resulted in major loss of activity relative to GTP in supporting tubulin polymerization, although the analog's deficiency may result from an inability to displace GDP from the exchangeable site rather than a direct effect on the polymerization reaction itself. The poor activity of ox-redGTP could be largely reversed if nucleoside diphosphate kinase was added to the reaction mixture. Removal of the 2' and 3' carbons entirely, in the form of acycloGTP, resulted in only minimal loss of activity relative to GTP. AraGTP, on the other hand, was more active than GTP in supporting tubulin polymerization. All three GDP analogs were much less effective than GDP in inhibiting tubulin polymerization, although araGDP was significantly more inhibitory than acycloGDP or ox-redGDP. Relative inhibitory activity of these and additional GDP analogs was the same whether GTP or a GTP analog was used to support tubulin polymerization.

采用土培方法探讨芘对小白菜幼苗生长和若干生理生化指标影响的结果表明:芘对小白菜种子发芽率无影响,对幼苗株高、根长和叶面积显著抑制;芘处理的小白菜幼苗叶内叶绿素a、叶绿素b、叶绿素a b和类胡萝卜素含量显著下降;而丙二醛(MDA)含量和细胞质膜透性则显著提高,且质膜透性随着芘浓度的增加呈现升高一下降一升高的趋势;高浓度芘处理的小白菜幼苗叶内脯氨酸含量和过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性均极显著提高.     

矿质营养缺乏对黄瓜生理生化特性的影响

通过营养液栽培,研究不同矿质营养的缺乏对黄瓜叶片组织生理生化特性的影响。结果表明,缺铜对植株生理影响最大,在各处理中,叶片组织的可溶性糖含量最低,木质素含量也处于较低水平,而相对电导度则最高,所测定的4种保护酶(POD、PPO、PAL、SOD)活性也最低。其次是锌,缺锌造成了相对电导度的增加,可溶性糖含量和木质素含量的下降,除PAL活性外,其余3种酶活性也处于次低的位置。缺锰主要导致了叶片组织可溶性糖含量、木质素含量以及PAL活性的较大幅度的下降。缺钙主要降低了叶片组织中可溶性糖含量和SOD活性。比较而言,硼和铁的缺乏影响较小。     

不同温度对几个干椒品种(系)某些生理生化指标的影响

对不同干椒品种(系)进行15、24、33和42℃温度处理,以适温24℃为对照,结果表明:绿株干椒四川朝天椒及99012的细胞膜伤害率、丙二醛(MDA)和脯氨酸(Pro)含量及过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性都有不同程度的增加,各指标增幅与品种对低、高温的耐性有关,前两者呈负相关,后两者呈正相关;而过氧化物酶(POD)活性与抗逆温性强弱不相关.紫株干椒永宁紫椒和紫茸干椒99007,除MDA含量在15、33、42℃时比24℃下有减少外,其余指标变化规律与绿株干椒相似,但变幅显著增大.具有紫色、茸毛性状品种(系)的抗逆温性在生理上比绿株品种(系)强些.     

Physiological,Biochemical, and Cytological Characteristics of a Haloalkalitolerant Methanotroph Grown on Methanol

The halotolerant alkaliphilic methanotroph Methylomicrobium buryatense 5B is capable of growth at high methanol concentrations (up to 1.75 M). At optimal values of pH and salinity (pH 9.5 and 0.75% NaCl), the maximum growth rate on 0.25 M methanol (0.2 h^–1) was twice as high as on methane (0.1 h^–1). The maximum growth rate increased with increasing medium salinity and pH. The growth of the bacterium on methanol was accompanied by a reduction in the degree of development of intracytoplasmic membranes, the appearance of glycogen granules in cells, and the accumulation of formaldehyde, formate, and an extracellular glycoprotein at concentrations of 1.2 mM, 8 mM, and 2.63 g/l, respectively. The glycoprotein was found to contain 23% protein and 77% carbohydrates, the latter being dominated by glucose, mannose, and aminosugars. The major amino acids were glutamate, aspartate, glycine, valine, and isoleucine. The glycoprotein content rose to 5 g/l when the concentration of potassium nitrate in the medium was augmented tenfold. The activities of sucrose-6-phosphate synthase, glycogen synthase, and NADH dehydrogenase in methanol-grown cells were higher than in methane-grown cells. The data obtained suggest that the high methanol tolerance of M. buryatense 5B is due to the utilization of formaldehyde for the synthesis of sucrose, glycogen, and the glycoprotein and to the oxidation of excess reducing equivalents through the respiratory chain.     

低温下壳聚糖处理对黄瓜幼苗生理生化特性的影响

50 mg/L的壳聚糖处理减轻了低温对黄瓜幼苗膜的伤害,低温(6℃)处理4 d后,幼苗膜透性和MDA含量明显低于对照,并且显著减缓了低温导致的光合速率、实际光化学效率(ФPS Ⅱ)、光化学猝灭系数(qP)和1光系数(F’v /Em’)的下降;同时,处理使抗氧化酶SOD、POD、CAT和APX活性提高,可溶性蛋白和脯胺酸含量增加.因此,壳聚糖处理增强了黄瓜幼苗的抗冷性,保护了膜系统,提高了活性氧清除能力,减轻了低温对光合机构的破坏.
