Laboratory of Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology/ Natural Compound Chemistry December 2017 This thesis studies the phenolic compounds of Geranium sylvaticum L. It focuses especially on geraniin and related ellagitannins. The literature review covers the phytochemistry of Geranium species, the biological activity of tannins and methods for the analysis and identification of tannins. In the experimental work, methods were developed for the extraction and high- pressure liquid chromatographic analysis of polyphenols in G. sylvaticum organs and their degradation products in the alkaline pH. Using a high-resolution mass spectrometry and diode array detection, water-soluble polyphenols in the organs of G. sylvaticum were tentatively identified and studied for their seasonal variation. Moreover, the main compounds were isolated and structures further elucidated. The biological activity of organ extracts and fractions was measured with antioxidant activity and pro-oxidant activity assays. Results showed that the plant organs of G. sylvaticum have distinctive intraplant variation in their phenolic profiles. Geraniin and other ellagitannins dominated in all the green photosynthetic organs. While the pistils accumulated gallotannins, the stamens kaempferol glycosides, and seeds and roots accumulated oligomeric proanthocyanidins. Of these, galloylglucoses, gallotannins and minor ellagitannins in particular showed seasonal and ontogenic variation. The petals contained unique acetylglucosylated hydrolysable tannins. These compounds showed capacity to act as copigments for anthocyanins. Due to the high content of ellagitannins and galloyl quinic acids, the leaf, pistil and hairy root extracts showed high antioxidant and pro-oxidant activity. Hydrolyzable tannins degraded fast in the alkaline conditions used in the pro-oxidant test and produced hydrolysis, deprotonation and oxidation products. The observed intraplant distribution of the polyphenol groups, seasonal and ontogenic variation, and the various biological activities observed may reflect the different functions and importance of various types of tannins in the plants’ interaction with pollinators, herbivores and/or pathogens. Keywords: Geranium sylvaticum, tannins, biological activity TIIVISTELMÄ TURUN YLIOPISTO Kemian laitos/Matemaattis-luonnontieteellinen tiedekunta TUOMINEN, ANU: Metsäkurjenpolven (Geranium sylvaticum) tanniinit ja muut polyfenolit: tunnistaminen, kasvinsisäinen jakaantuminen ja biologinen aktiivisuus Väitöskirja, 241 s. Orgaanisen kemian ja kemiallisen biologian laboratorio/ Luonnonyhdisteiden kemia Joulukuu 2017 Tutkimustyö käsittelee metsäkurjenpolven (Geranium sylvaticum L.) fenolisia yhdisteitä keskittyen erityisesti geraniiniin ja muihin ellagitanniineihin. Kirjallisuusosiossa käydään läpi kurjenpolvikasvien kemiaa, tanniinien biologista aktiivisuutta ja niiden analysointimenetelmiä. Kokeellisessa osiossa kehitettiin nestekromatografisia analyysimenetelmiä, joilla tutkittiin metsäkurjenpolven eri kasvinosien polyfenoleja sekä niiden hajoamistuotteita emäksisissä olosuhteissa. Vesiliukoiset polyfenolit tunnistettiin ja niiden kasvukauden aikainen vaihtelu metsäkurjenpolven eri kasvinosissa tutkittiin käyttäen massaspektrometriaa. Lisäksi pääyhdisteet eristettiin tarkempaa rakenteen määrittämistä varten. Kasvinosauutteiden ja fraktioiden biologista aktiivisuutta mitattiin antioksidantti- ja pro-oksidanttiaktiivisuustesteillä. Tuloksista nähtiin, että metsäkurjenpolven kasvinosien polyfenolikoostumukset erosivat merkittävästi. Geraniinia ja muita ellagitanniineja esiintyi etenkin vihreissä yhteyttävissä osissa. Emeistä löytyi korkeita pitoisuuksia gallotanniineja, heteistä kemferoliglykosideja, siemenistä ja juurista oligomeerisia proantosyanidiineja. Näistä etenkin galloyyliglukooseilla, gallotanniineilla ja ellagitanniineilla havaittiin kasvukaudenaikaista ja kasvuvaiheesta riippuvaa vaihtelua. Terälehdistä tunnistettiin aivan uusi asetyyliglykosyloituneiden hydrolysoituvien tanniinien ryhmä, joiden havaittiin toimivan antosyaanien väriä tehostavina kopigmentteinä. Korkean ellagitanniini- ja galloyylikviinihappopitoisuuden takia etenkin lehti-, emi- ja hiusjuuriuutteet osoittivat voimakasta antioksidantti- ja pro-oksidanttiaktiivisuutta. Hydrolysoituvat tanniinit hajosivat nopeasti pro-oksidanttitestissä käytetyissä emäksisissä olosuhteissa ja reaktiossa syntyi hydrolyysi-, deprotonaatio- ja hapettumistuotteita. Havaittu kasvinsisäinen jakaantuminen, kasvukauden ja kasvuvaiheen aikainen vaihtelu ja biologinen aktiivisuus kuvastavat kuinka erityyppisillä tanniineilla voi olla erilaisia tehtäviä ja merkitys kasvin ja sen pölyttäjien, kasvinsyöjien sekä patogeenien välisissä vuorovaikutuksissa.

    TORONTO MASTER GARDENERS ASK PLANT ID QUESTIONS Image Question Answer Growing in ditches beside a gravel road It is challenging to identify a plant from a single leaf, and I consulted our team in Township of Perry 25 minutes north of Master Gardeners, several of whom feel that the plant is likely some sort of Huntsville. Cant find it in any of our of dock. Consider the following: reference books. Leaves are emerging from ground singly and veins are deep ñ Rumex sanguineus var.sanguineus (red-veined or bloody red. dock). See the Missouri Botanical Garden monograph ñ Rumex obtusifolius (broadleaved dock/ bitter dock). See Illinois Wildflowers – Bitter Dock ñ Rumex aquaticus (Scottish dock). See Nature Gate’s Scottish Dock Another suggestion was this might be pokeweed (Phytolacca Americana). See Ohio State University’s Ohio Perennial and Biennial Weed May 2019 Guide – Common PokeweedClick on the above links and you'll see photos that show that these plants have leaves that resemble those of your mystery plant, in many respects. However, with docks and the common pokeweed, leaves generally emerge from the same clump, not singly. As well, these plants have lance-shaped leaves, which seem to differ quite a bit from the oblong-shaped leaf of shown in the photo you submitted.Finally, it is possible that the plant is related to dock, but is a sorrel (Rumex acetosa) - some sorrels have leaves that are shaped more like the leaf in your photo. For example, see Nature Gate's Common sorrel My neighbour gave me this plant, that I Your neighbour gave you a Bergenia cordifolia, commonly called Bergenia or planted las year.

  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

Academic Editor: Francesco Cacciola Received: 20 August 2020; Accepted: 8 September 2020; Published: 10 September 2020 Abstract: Flavonoids are considered one of the most diverse phenolic compounds possessing several valuable health benefits. The present study aimed at gathering all correlated reports, in which Sephadex® LH-20 (SLH) has been utilized as the final step to isolate or purify of flavonoid derivatives among all plant families. Overall, 189 flavonoids have been documented, while the majority were identified from the Asteraceae, Moraceae, and Poaceae families. Application of SLH has led to isolate 79 flavonols, 63 flavones, and 18 flavanones. Homoisoflavanoids, and proanthocyanidins have only been isolated from the Asparagaceae and Lauraceae families, respectively, while the Asteraceae was the richest in flavones possessing 22 derivatives. Six flavones, four flavonols, three homoisoflavonoids, one flavanone, a flavanol, and an isoflavanol have been isolated as the new secondary metabolites. This technique has been able to isolate quercetin from 19 plant species, along with its 31 derivatives. Pure methanol and in combination with water, chloroform, and dichloromethane have generally been used as eluents. This comprehensive review provides significant information regarding to remarkably use of SLH in isolation and purification of flavonoids from all the plant families; thus, it might be considered an appreciable guideline for further phytochemical investigation of these compounds.
