Storage Stability and Thermal Stability of Hordeumin,an Anthocyanin Pigment from Barley

Hordeumin stored at –40 to –80^oC in 1% HCI–methanol suffered neither from color reduction nor discoloration. After heating at 80°C for 60 min, hordeumin showed a pigment retention rate of 100%. This characteristic is because the pigment is a composite high-molecular weight compound consisting of anthocyanins and polyphenols, It was determined, however, that discoloration and browning occurred more rapidly than color reduction during storage and heating of the pigment.

Identification, isolation and characterization of the antifeedant constituent of Clausena anisata against Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Abstract  Hexane, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and water extracts of Clausena anisata [(Willd.) Hook F. Ex Benth] leaves and roots were evaluated against Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) for antifeedant activities. Antifeedant activity was confirmed, and was found to be higher in root extracts than those of the leaf. Chloroform and petroleum ether extracts of the root showed strongest antifeedant activities (DC₅₀s [concentration (C) causing 50% deterrence compared with the control] 0.014% and 0.016% respectively), and root extracts were fractionated using silica gel column chromatography. One fraction of the chloroform and one of the petroleum ether root extracts was active; and on the basis of mass spectroscopy and ¹H and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data, the active compounds in the two fractions were confirmed to be identical, and identified as osthol [2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7-methoxy-8-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)]. The highest concentration of osthol was found in the chloroform root extract. Antifeedant activities of the root extracts, as measured by DC₅₀ values, were highly correlated with their osthol contents. Approximately 99% of the variation in bioactivity of the root extracts could be accounted for by variation in osthol content; osthol therefore, appeared to be an antifeedant component of C . anisata to H. armigera . This may provide a new approach to managing this pest.     

脱水速率对黄皮胚轴脱水敏感性及膜脂过氧化的影响

以黄皮种子离体胚轴为材料,研究了不同干燥速率对胚轴脱水反应和膜脂过氧化的影响.在脱水过程中,胚轴的萌发率、活力指数、电解质渗漏速率,超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性逐渐降低,膜脂过氧化产物MDA的含量不断增加.脱水速率愈快,胚轴的半致死含水量就愈低.快速干燥的胚轴能在较低的含水量下存活是因为缩短了在中间含水量下发生的膜脂过氧化作用的时间,以及保持较高的SOD、POD和CAT活性;缓慢干燥的胚轴当与周围环境达到水分平衡后,生活力的丧失将与保持在水分平衡后的时间有关.因此,脱水速率是一种影响顽拗性种子或者胚轴脱水敏感性的重要因子.     

黄皮种子脱水敏感性与胚轴中可溶性糖含量的关系

以典型的顽拗性种子黄皮为试材,研究了花后不同时间的种子、收获后萌发的种子及15℃湿藏种子的脱水敏感性变化及其与种子胚轴中可溶性糖含量的关系.15℃湿藏150d及600d使种子脱水敏感性增强,与寡糖含量下降以至消失及寡糖/蔗糖(O/D)之比下降极为一致,虽然花后67d的种子耐脱水能力最强,但此时蔗糖、寡糖含量及寡糖/蔗糖之比却并非最高.虽然15℃湿藏150d的种子萌发4d最耐脱水,但寡糖含量及寡糖/蔗糖之比在萌发3d时均已降至0.结果表明,发育及萌发种子的脱水敏感性与蔗糖、寡糖含量及O/D比无直接关系.     

Bioactive Coumarins from the Stems of Clausena emarginata

Five new coumarins, clauemarmarins I – M ( 1 – 4 ), together with 10 known analogs ( 5 – 14 ), were isolated from the stems of Clausena emarginata. Compounds 8 – 13 were obtained from this plant for the first time. Their structures were established and elucidated by comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations of 1 – 4 were further determined by their electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Compounds 5 , 7 , 12 , and 14 exhibited inhibitory effects on LPS‐induced NO production. Compounds 5 – 7 showed selective neuroprotective effects in Aβ_{25 – 35} model at 10 μm .     

顽拗性黄皮胚脱水过程中核酸、蛋白质代谢的变化

黄皮种子发育晚期,胚内核酸、蛋白质合成能力增强,而花生胚的核酸、蛋白质合成能力在发育晚期则呈下降趋势。黄皮胚的发育在达到生理成熟后维持着活跃的生理代谢并转入萌发状态;而花生胚的代谢活性逐步降低并转入生理静止状态。脱水处理引起生理成熟期黄皮胚核酸、蛋白质合成能力急剧下降,核酸水解酶活性增强。不同程度脱水的黄皮胚吸胀２４ｈ,核酸、蛋白质的合成能力随脱水程度的加深而降低;生物大分子代谢能力的变化是顽拗性
