The most frequently occurring susceptibility ranking for the stages was small nymphs Ͼ medium nymphs Ͼ adult males Ͼ large nymphs Ͼ gravid females Ͼ adult females. Adult females were the least susceptible to the essential oils, so they will be the determining factor when considering a rate for Þeld application. Toxicity was positively correlated with essential oil component density and boiling point; however, there was no signiÞcant correlation between toxicity and lipophilicity. The effect of essential oil components on ootheca hatch was also investigated. S-(Ϫ)-limonene had the least effect on ootheca hatch, with 35.21 (mean) nymphs hatching per ootheca. (Ϫ)-menthone had the greatest effect on ootheca hatch with 20.89 nymphs hatching per ootheca. The numbers of nymphs hatching from each ootheca generally declined as dose increased. No essential oil component completely prevented ootheca hatch suggesting that multiple treatments might be required in the Þeld to prevent reinfestation.

    GENETICS OF TEP.PENES I. GENE CONTROL OF MONOTERPENE LEVELS IN PINUS MONTICOLA DOUGL. JAMES W. HANOVER Geneticist, Forestry Sciences Laboratory, lntermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Moscow, Idaho * Receivedi o.v.6 1.INTRODUCTION DIFFERENCESin terpenoid levels between plant species are known to exist but little is known about their genetic bases. The terpenes have been used extensively in biochemical systematic studies in Pinus (Mirov, 1958, 1961; Williams and Bannister, 1962; Forde, 1964), Eucalyptus (Baker and Smith, 1920; Penfold and Morrison, 1927), Cup ressacee (Erdtman, 1958),andmany other plant families and genera (Alston and Turner, 1963).Thesestudies were usually based upon the assumption that variation within a species is relatively small. Although this may be valid in some cases, Bannister et al. (1962)andothers have shown that the level of terpenes can vary with geographic origin within a species. Recent data on tree-to-tree variability in the monoterpenes of Pinus ponderosa Laws. show that such variation can be relatively large (Smith, 1964). Results of similar work in our laboratory with western white pine (Pinus monticola Dougi.) also revealed substantial qualitative and quantitative variation in the cortex monoterpenes between trees. In order to provide a basis for the use of terpenes for comparative biochemical studies, an understanding of both their variability and mode of inheritance is essential. The objective of the present study is to demonstrate the degree to which levels of six monoterpene compounds are gene-controlled in western white pine. Interrelations among the terpenes and between terpenes and growth are also considered, 2.MATERIALS AND METHODS Thematerials for this study are of three types: (i) parents—as clonal lines of grafts, () F1 progeny from crosses between the ortets (parents) represented by the clones, and () S1 progeny of the parent trees.

Harman-Ware1* , Robert Sykes1 , Gary F. Peter2 and Mark Davis1 1 National Bioenergy Center, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO, USA, 2 School of Forest Resources and Conservation, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA Terpenoids, naturally occurring compounds derived from isoprene units present in pine oleoresin, are a valuable source of chemicals used in solvents, fragrances, flavors, and have shown potential use as a biofuel. This paper describes a method to extract and analyze the terpenoids present in loblolly pine saplings and pine lighter wood. Various extraction solvents were tested over different times and temperatures. Samples were analyzed by pyrolysis-molecular beam mass spectrometry before and after extractions to monitor the extraction efficiency. The pyrolysis studies indicated that the optimal extraction method used a 1:1 hexane/acetone solvent system at 22°C for 1 h.

The judicious choice of initiating system, which was borrowed from conventional petrochemical monomers, not only allowed the polymerization to proceed efficiently but also produced well-defined controlled/living polymers from these renewable monomers. We were able to find several controlled/living systems for renewable monomers that resulted in novel bio-based polymers, including a cycloolefin polymer, an AAB alternating copolymer with an end-to-end sequence, a phenolic and high-Tg alternating styrenic copolymer, and an acrylic thermoplastic elastomer.

The mechanism of action of two VOCs—the cyclic monoterpenes (−)-limonene and (+)-α-pinene—on bacteria was studied in this work. We used genetically engineered Escherichia coli bioluminescent strains harboring stress-responsive promoters (responsive to oxidative stress, DNA damage, SOS response, protein damage, heatshock, membrane damage) fused to the luxCDABE genes of Photorhabdus luminescens. We showed that (−)-limonene induces the PkatG and PsoxS promoters due to the formation of reactive oxygen species and, as a result, causes damage to DNA (SOSresponse), proteins (heat shock), and membrane (increases its permeability). The experimental data indicate that the action of (−)- limonene at high concentrations and prolonged incubation time makes degrading processes in cells irreversible. The effect of (+)-α-pinene is much weaker: it induces only heat shock in the bacteria. Moreover, we showed for the first time that (−)-limonene completely inhibits the DnaKJE–ClpB bichaperone-dependent refolding of heat-inactivated bacterial luciferase in both E.

  • Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Essential Oils Obtained from Leaves and Flowers of Salvia Hydrangea DC. Ex Be
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oils obtained from leaves and fowers of Salvia hydrangea DC. ex Benth. Mansureh Ghavam 1*, Maria Letizia Manca 2, Maria Manconi2 & Gianluigi Bacchetta2,3 The majority of essential oils obtained from vascular plants have been demonstrated to be efective in treating fungal and bacterial infections. Among others, Salvia hydrangea is an endemic half-shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family that has been widely used from ancient times in Iranian traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to compare the composition and antimicrobial properties of essential oils obtained from leaves or fowers of this plant, collected from the Daran region of Iran during June 2018. The oils were obtained using Clevenger apparatus, their composition was evaluated by means of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and the antimicrobial properties were assayed by measuring inhibition halos, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The yield of leaf oil was ~ 0.25% and that of fower oil was ~ 0.28%. Oil composition was afected by the part of the plants used: the most abundant bioactives contained in leaf essential oil were (+)-spathulenol (16.07%), 1,8-cineole (13.96%), trans-caryophyllene (9.58%), β-pinene (8.91%) and β-eudesmol (5.33%) and those in fower essential oil were caryophyllene oxide (35.47%), 1,8-cineole (9.54%), trans-caryophyllene (6.36%), β-eudesmol (4.11%), caryophyllenol-II (3.46%) and camphor (3.33%). Both the oils showed a signifcant inhibitory and lethal efect on the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC ~ 16 µg/mL), Shigella dysenteriae and Klebsiella pneumoniae (MIC ~ 62 µg/mL).

KEIGHLEY, AND G. D. BELL From the University Department of Therapeutics, City Hospital, Nottingham, and the University Department of Surgery, General Hospital, Birmingham SUMMARY It has been claimed that Rowachol, a proprietary choleretic, is occasionally successful in the treatment of gallstones. In gallstone patients we have examined its effect on the lipid composi- tion of (1) samples of fasting gall bladder bile obtained at the time of cholecystectomy, and (2) T-tube bile on the tenth post-operative day. In a dose of two capsules, three times a day for only 48 hours, Rowachol significantly lowered the cholesterol solubility of both gall bladder (p < 0001) and T-tube bile (p < 005). Rowachol in a dose of one capsule three times a day for 48 hours did not alter bile composition, while four capsules four times a day for a similar period caused a significant (p < 0-05) deterioration in biliary lipid composition.

Received: 29 August 2020; Accepted: 23 September 2020; Published: 25 September 2020 Abstract: Monoterpenes, comprising hydrocarbons, are the largest class of plant secondary metabolites and are commonly found in essential oils. Monoterpenes and their derivatives are key ingredients in the design and production of new biologically active compounds. This review focuses on selected aliphatic, monocyclic, and bicyclic monoterpenes like geraniol, thymol, myrtenal, pinene, camphor, borneol, and their modified structures. The compounds in question play a pivotal role in biological and medical applications. The review also discusses anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, analgesic, antiviral, anticancer, antituberculosis, and antioxidant biological activities exhibited by monoterpenes and their derivatives. Particular attention is paid to the link between biological activity and the effect of structural modification of monoterpenes and monoterpenoids, as well as the introduction of various functionalized moieties into the molecules in question. Keywords: geraniol; thymol; myrtenal; pinene; camphor; borneol; biological activity; antiviral activity; analgesic activity; anti-inflammatory activity 1. Introduction Plants have been used for medical purposes for centuries. As such, they have been studied scientifically and traded commercially. Monoterpenes belong to a large and diverse group of naturally occurring compounds.
