蔓三七叶中分离绿原酸和异绿原酸及其抗氧化活性研究

以蔓三七叶为原料,制备其中的绿原酸和异绿原酸A、B和C,并对它们进行结构鉴定;同时,采用DPPH法、水杨酸比色法、邻苯三酚自氧化法来对其进行体外抗氧化活性研究。结果表明,分离制备的绿原酸和异绿原酸A、B和C质量分数分别为96. 8%、98. 2%、97. 6%和98. 7%。在0. 5～10μg/mL范围内,绿原酸和异绿原酸A、B和C对DPPH和羟基自由基表现出了较好的清除作用,随浓度升高而逐渐增大;但它们对超氧自由基的清除作用时,浓度从5μg/mL升高到100μg/mL时,清除作用都未出现明显的剂量依赖性,各样品与阳性对照组(VC)相比较而言,其清除超氧自由基的作用明显较弱。本文揭示了蔓三七叶中的绿原酸和异绿原酸A、B和C具有不同的抗氧化效果。     

Production of biomass and flavonoid of Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr shoots culture in temporary immersion system

Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merris one of medicinal plant which was carried out used as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antimicrobial. Many strategies were used to increase the production of biomass and valuable compounds. This study was to investigate the variation effect of growth regulators and immersion frequency on production of biomass and flavonoid contained of G. procumbens shoots culture in temporary immersion bioreactor. Stem nodes were used as an explants and induction of shoots were done in solid MS medium supplemented with many kinds of growth regulator. The best treatments were used to produce biomass and flavonoid compounds in temporary immersion bioreactor; there are combination of IAA 2?mg/L and BA 4, 6, 8?mg/L and immersion frequency (5 min each 3?h; 15?min each 12?h). Results showed that the growths of G. procumbens shoots in solid MS medium were influenced by supplementation of growth regulators. MS medium supplemented with single cytokinine (6 mg/L kinetin) and combination of auxin (IAA) and cytokinine (BA) caused increasing of shoots growth. Production of biomass of G. procumbens in temporary immersion bioreactor was achieved in long immersion interval (12?h) and highest flavonoid production was obtained in combination treatment of immersion frequency 15?min each 12?h and MS medium supplemented with IAA 2?mg/L, BA 8?mg/L.     

Screening of endophytic bacteria isolated from leaves of Sambung Nyawa [Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr.] for cytokinin-like compounds

Endophytic bacteria are harmless in most plant species; and known to boost the growth and development of the host plants probably by secreting growth hormones. The isolation, identification and screening of endophytic bacteria for the plant growth regulators like cytokinin are needed to get the leads for their applications in agriculture sector. We describe the isolation and identification of the bacterial endophytes from the leaves of Sambung Nyawa [Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr.] and their screening for cytokinin-like compounds. We isolated three endophytic bacteria from the leaves of G. procumbens collected from the forest research institute of Malaysia (FRIM). They were further identified using amplified 16S rRNA gene sequence based method of bacterial identification. The ethyl acetate extracts of the isolates-broth were analyzed using cucumber cotyledon greening bioassay (CCGB) to determine the presence of cytokinin-like compounds. Consequently, the bacterial putative endophytes were identified as Psuedomonas resinovorans, Paenibacillus polymaxa, and Acenitobacter calcoaceticus. Broth-extracts from two (Psuedomonas resinovorans and Paenibacillus polymaxa) of the three putative bacterial endophytes show the positive results in their screening for cytokinin-like compounds using CCGB. Thus, we hypothesize that the bacterial putative endophytes of G. procumbens that produce cytokinin-like compounds might have a role in the growth and development of G. procumbens.

Chemical constituents from Melodinus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. and their chemotaxonomic significance

A phytochemical investigation on the twigs and leaves of Melodinus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr. resulted in the isolation and identification of 22 compounds, including seven sesamin-type lignans (1–7), three pentacyclic triterpenes (8–10), one anthraquinone (11), one flavanone (12), two phenolic compounds (13 and 14), five aspidosperma-type indole alkaloids (15–19), and three eburnan-type indole alkaloids (20–22). The structures of these compounds were elucidated by means of spectroscopic analysis, including HREIMS together with 1D and 2D NMR experiments, and comparison with reported data. Among them, compounds 1/4, 2/5, and 3/6 are three pairs epimers at C-7''. Compounds 1–6, 8 and 11 were firstly isolated from the family Apocynaceae, whereas 17 was isolated from Melodinus species for the first time. Compound 8 was only found in Juglans hopeiensis, while 11 was only found in roots of Rubia cordifolia. Compounds 1–6, 8, 11 and 15–22 could be considered as chemotaxonomic markers for M. cochinchinensis. Furthermore, the chemotaxonomic significance and distribution of these isolates in Melodinus genus are discussed in detail.

Somatic embryogenesis in cell suspension cultures of Acacia sinuata (Lour.) Merr.

Summary Suspension cultures initiated from calluses derived from seedling leaf explants of Acacia sinuata (Lour.) Merr. produced somatic embryos. Embryogenic callus was induced on semisolid MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) medium supplemented with 4.52 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2.22 μM 6-benzylaminopurine. A high frequency of somatic embryos was induced in MS liquid medium supplemented with 4.52 μM 2,4-D and 10% coconut water. Further studies on ontogeny of somatic embryos showed that the cells destined to become somatic embryos divided into spherical proembryos. Subsequent development led to the formation of globular, heart, torpedo-shaped and cotyledonary-stage embryos. The conversion of somatic embryos occurred on auxin-free MS medium. Effects of various auxins, cytokinins, carbohydrates and amino acids in enhancing productin, of somatic embryos were studied. MS medium supplemented with 87.64 mM sucrose and 342.46 μM glutamine promoted higher somatic embryo production whereas cytokinin had no effect and led to recallusing of embryos. About 8–10% of embryos converted into plants.

Regeneration of transformed shoots from electroporated soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) protoplasts

Stable transformation of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) protoplasts isolated from immature cotyledons was achieved following electroporation with plasmid DNA carrying chimeric genes encoding ß-glucuronidase (GUS) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter. Transformed colonies were stringently selected by growing 15-day-old protoplast-derived cells in the presence of 40 g/ml of hygromycin-B for 6 weeks. Over 93% of the resistant cells and colonies exhibited GUS activity, indicating that the two marker genes borne on a single plasmid were co-introduced and co-expressed at a very high freguency. This transformation procedure reproducibly yields transformants at frequencies of 2.9–6.8 × 10^–4 (based on the number of protoplasts electroporated) or 23.0% (based on the number of control microcalli formed) counted after 6 weeks of selection. After repeated subculturing on regeneration medium, shoots were induced from 8.0% of the transformed calli. Southern hybridization confirmed the presence of both the GUS and hygromycin genes in the transformed calli and shoots.     

High-frequency plant regeneration from cotyledon callus of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acacia sinuata</Emphasis> (Lour.) Merr

Summary A new reliable protocol for the induction of adventitious shoots and plant regenertion from cotyledon-derived callus of Acacia sinuata has been developed. Calluses were induced from cotyledon explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 3% sucrose, 0.8% agar or 0.15% phytagel, 8.1 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid, and 2.2 μM 6-benzylaminopurine (BA). High-frequency regeneration of adventitious buds from callus was achieved when cultured on half-strength MS medium supplemented with 10% coconut water, 13.3 μM BA, and 2.5 μM zeatin. Histological studies revealed that the regenerated shoots originated from the callus. Among the various carbohydrates tested, sucrose at 87.6 mM was optimum for shoot-bud induction. Addition of 1.7 μM gibberellic acid along with 4.4 μM favored shoot elongation. In vitro-raised shoots produced prominent roots when transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 7.4 μM indole-3-butyric acid. Rooted plants, thus developed, were hardened and successfully established in soil (45%). This protocol yielded an average of 40 plantlets per cotyledon explant over a period of 3 mo.     

Synchronization of protoplasts from Glycine max (L.) Merr. and Brassica napus (L.)

Cells of Glycine max originating in a suspension culture and cells of Brassica napus prepared from hypocotyls were synchronized. Synchronization was achieved by preparing protoplasts in the usual way and subsequently letting the protoplasts regenerate into cells by removing the cell-wall-digesting enzymes. More than 70% of the cells had divided synchronously at the end of the first cycle as determined by the mitotic index. The high frequency of mitosis critically depended on the osmolality of the medium. The duration of the S-phase was estimated by measuring the activity of thymidylate kinase as well as incorporation of [³H]deoxythymidine into acid-insoluble material. The data indicate that synchronization is induced by resetting the cell cycle.Abbreviations dTMP deoxythymidine 5-monophosphate - TCA trichloroacetic acid

Symbiosis-stimulated chitinase isoenzymes of soybean (Glycine mas (L.) Merr.)

Isoforms of endochitinase in soybean were studied in relation to root symbiosis. Five selected cultivars differing in their nodulation potential were inoculated with two strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, the broad host-range Rhizobium sp. NGR234, and with the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae. Total chitinase activity in nodules was up to 7-fold higher than in uninoculated roots and in mycorrhizal roots. The chitinase activity in nodules varied depending on the strain-cultivar combination. On semi-native polyacrylamide gels, four acidic isoforms were identified. Two isoforms (CH 2 and CH 4) were constitutively present in al analysed tissues. The other two isoforms (CH 1 and CH 3) were strongly induced in nodules and were simulated in mycorrhizal roots as compared to uninoculated roots. The induction of CH 1 varied in nodules depending on the soybean cultivar. This isoform was also stimulated in uninfected roots when they were treated with tri-iodobenzoic acid, rhizobial lipochitooloigosaccharides (Nod factors) and chitotetraose. CH 3 was not affected by these stimuli indicating that this isoform could represent a marker for enzymes induced in later stages of the symbiotic interactions.Key words: (Brady)rhizobium, chitinase isoenzymes, mycorrhiza, (restricted) nodulation, Nod factors      

Characterization of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase from Pineapple Leaves Ananas comosus (L.) Merr

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase has been partially purified from pineapple (Ananas comosus [L.]) leaves. Specific activities obtained show it to be a major activity in this tissue. Above 15 C, the respective activation energies for decarboxylation and carboxylation are 13 and 12 kcal/mol. Below 15 C, there are discontinuities in Arrhenius plots with an associated large increase in activation energy. The adenine nucleotides are preferred to other nucleotides as substrates. The apparent Km values in the carboxylation direction are: ADP 0.13 mm, HCO(3) (-) 3.4 mm, and phosphoenolpyruvate 5 mm. In the decarboxylation direction, the apparent Km values are: ATP 0.02 mm, ADP 0.05 mm, and oxaloacetate 0.4 mm. The decarboxylation activity had an almost equal velocity with either ADP or ATP. The pH optima are between 6.8 and 7. Inhibition of the carboxylation reaction by ATP, pyruvate, and carbonic anhydrase was demonstrated. Decarboxylase specific activities are over twice carboxylation activities. The data support a model in which phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is of physiological significance only during the light period and then only as a decarboxylase.

Molecular cloning and ethylene-inducible expression of Chib1 chitinase from soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

A soybean seed-specific PR-8 chitinase, named Chib2, has a markedly extended C-terminal segment compared to other plant Chib1 homologues of the PR-8 chitinase family known to date. To further characterize the molecular structure and the expression pattern of this chitinase family, we cloned two typical Chib1-similar cDNAs (Chib1-1 and Chib1-2) from soybeans by PCR-cloning techniques. The deduced primary sequence of Chib1-1 chitinase is composed of a signal peptide segment (26 amino acid residues) and a mature 273 amino acid sequence (calculated molecular mass 28,794, calculated pI 3.7). This Chib1-1 enzyme is more than 90% identical to Chib1-2 chitinase but is below 50% identical to Chib2 enzyme. Thus, we confirmed the occurrence of two distinct classes, Chib1 and Chib2 in the plant PR-8 chitinase family. The Chib1 genes, interrupted by one intron, were found to be up-regulated in response to ethylene in stems and leaves, but scarcely expressed in developing soybean seeds. Chib1 chitinases may be responsible for protecting the plant body from various pathogenic attacks.
