Tridemorph The roots of maize (Zea mays L. var LG11) seedlings were watered with has been shown to block the CO2 (26) in suspension cultures of a solution of Tridemorph (2,6-dhmethyl-N-tridecyl-morphollne), a systemic Rubus fruticosus cells, resulting in an accumulation of 9i,B19- fungicide, for 3 to 4 weeks from the onset of germination. Very few A5- cyclopropyl sterols. The results reported here show that, when sterols, the major sterols ofthe control, were detected in the treated plnts, Tridemorph is given to maize plants, 9,8,19-cyclopropyl sterols and 9,8,19-cyckpropyl sterols accumulated dramatically in both roots and accumulate dramatically in roots and leaves, and the usual A5- leaves. A5-sterols were also found when low concentrations of the drug sterols (stigmasterol and sitosterol) are lost accordingly. were used. The time course of the accumulation of the new sterols has been studied in plants treated with various concentrations (1-20 milligrams per liter) of Tridemorph. We found that: (a) cycloeucalenol-obtusifoliol MATERIALS AND METHODS isomerase, an enzyme opening the cyclopropane ring ofcyclopropyl sterols, was strongly Inibited by the drug; and (b) the drug dhfused readily from Plant Material. Maize (Zea mays L. var LG 11) caryopses were the roots to the whole plant and reached Its enzymic targets in most of the germinated and grown in moist vermiculite in the light at 25°C leaf cells.

Plants were measured after various times of growth, and the mean height and standard deviation of the mean for each treatment were calculated. The maximum SD for any treatment was 5.4 cm.

Ralph1 6 1Climate Change Cluster, University of Technology Sydney, Australia, NSW 2007 7 2CSIRO Synthetic Biology Future Science Platform, GPO Box 2583, Brisbane, QLD 4001 8 Abstract 9 Sterols are a class of triterpenoid molecules with diverse functional roles in eukaryotic cells, 10 including intracellular signaling and regulation of cell membrane fluidity. Diatoms are a 11 dominant eukaryotic phytoplankton group that produce a wide diversity of sterol compounds. 12 The enzymes 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl CoA reductase (HMGR) and squalene epoxidase 13 (SQE) have been reported to be rate-limiting steps in sterol biosynthesis in other model 14 eukaryotes; however, the extent to which these enzymes regulate triterpenoid production in 15 diatoms is not known. To probe the role of these two metabolic nodes in the regulation of 16 sterol metabolic flux in diatoms, we independently over-expressed two versions of the native 17 HMGR and a conventional, heterologous SQE gene in the diatoms Thalassiosira pseudonana 18 and Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Overexpression of these key enzymes resulted in significant 19 differential accumulation of downstream sterol pathway intermediates in P.

Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides L.) is a plant with great virtues, containing more than 100 types of compounds. It is a plant with versatile properties, multiple economic advantages and a rich history, which still continues in natural medicine, and it is hence included in the daily diet by more and more people for the prevention and treatment of diet-related diseases. Its uniqueness is due to its chemical composition and the health beneficial properties that rise from its composition. This review is a detailed analytical picture of the current state of knowledge currently available regarding the Hippophaë plant, providing an overview of the qualities of sea buckthorn. This article summarizes data on sea buckthorn’s nutritional value, health beneficial properties, and its applications.

  • Genuine and Sequestered Natural Products from the Genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae, Lamiales)
    Review Genuine and Sequestered Natural Products from the Genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae, Lamiales) Friederike Scharenberg and Christian Zidorn * Pharmazeutisches Institut, Abteilung Pharmazeutische Biologie, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Gutenbergstraße 76, 24118 Kiel, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-431-880-1139 Received: 10 October 2018; Accepted: 28 October 2018; Published: 30 October 2018 Abstract: The present review gives an overview about natural products from the holoparasitic genus Orobanche (Orobanchaceae). We cover both genuine natural products as well as compounds sequestered by Orobanche taxa from their host plants. However, the distinction between these two categories is not always easy. In cases where the respective authors had not indicated the opposite, all compounds detected in Orobanche taxa were regarded as genuine Orobanche natural products. From the about 200 species of Orobanche s.l. (i.e., including Phelipanche) known worldwide, only 26 species have so far been investigated phytochemically (22 Orobanche and four Phelipanche species), from 17 Orobanche and three Phelipanche species defined natural products (and not only natural product classes) have been reported. For two species of Orobanche and one of Phelipanche dedicated studies have been performed to analyze the phenomenon of natural product sequestration by parasitic plants from their host plants. In total, 70 presumably genuine natural products and 19 sequestered natural products have been described from Orobanche s.l.; these form the basis of 140 chemosystematic records (natural product reports per taxon). Bioactivities described for Orobanche s.l. extracts and natural products isolated from Orobanche species include in addition to antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects, e.g., analgesic, antifungal and antibacterial activities, inhibition of amyloid β aggregation, memory enhancing effects as well as anti-hypertensive effects, inhibition of blood platelet aggregation, and diuretic effects.

While it became clear very early that cholesterol plays an important role in controlling cell membrane permeability by reducing average fluidity, it appears now that it has a key role in the lateral organization of membranes and free volume distribution . These two parameters seem to be involved in controlling membrane protein activity and "raft" formation (review in Barenholz Y, Prog Lipid Res 2002, 41, 1).
