Cyanolipids constituted 5% hexane extract of the seeds, whereas triacylglycerols (TAG) accounted for 90%. The oil contains type III cyanolipids (CL) 1-cyano-2-hydroxymethylprop-1-en-3-ol-diesters. Structural investigation of the oil components was accomplished by chemical, chromatographic (TLC, CC, GC-MS), and spectroscopic (IR, NMR) means. GC-MS analysis showed that fatty acids were dominant in the CL components of the oil from S. saponaria L., with cis-11-eicosenoic acid, cis-11-octadecenoic acid and eicosanoic acid as the only esterified fatty acyl chains respectively. This being the first report of this kind of natural products (CL), located in the seeds of this plant.. Keywords: Cyanolipids, Sapindus saponaria, Sapindaceae, Fatty acids. Resumen: La composición química del aceite de las semillas de Sapindus saponaria L., (Sapindaceae), fue investigada. Cianolípidos (CL) constituyen el 5% del extracto hexanico de las semillas, mientras que los triacilgliceroles (TAG) representaron el 90%. La fracción cianolipídica estaba compuesta por el CL tipo III, el diester de 1-ciano-2-hidroximetilprop-3-en-1-ol. La investigación estructural de los componentes del aceite se logró mediante técnicas cromatografícas, (CCF, CC, GC-MS), y espectroscópicas (IR, RMN). El análisis por GC- MS mostró que los ácidos grasos tales como: ácidos cis-11-eicosenoico, cis-11-octadecanoico y eicosanoico fueron los únicos ácidos grasos esterificados ubicados en el extracto rico en CL tipo III. Siendo este el primer reporte de esta clase de productos naturales (CL) ubicados en las semilla de esta planta. Palabras clave: Cianolípidos, Sapindus saponaria, Sapindaceae, Ácidos grasos..

WECKERLE* and ROLF RUTISHAUSER Institute of Systematic Botany, University of Zurich, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich, Switzerland Received January 2004; accepted for publication August 2004 Despite an emphasis on fruit characters in Paullinieae taxonomy, few detailed morphological and anatomical studies of the gynoecia, fruits and seeds exist. The aims of the present study were (1) to provide a detailed documentation of gynoecium, fruit and seed structure and ontogeny in selected Paullinieae taxa; (2) to determine whether the gyno- ecium, seed and seedling provide additional characters of systematic value within the tribe; and (3) to relate the structural findings to mechanisms of fruit dehiscence and dispersal within these taxa. Newly described characters of systematic value within Paullinieae are shape and surface of the obturator, type of pollen tube transmitting tract, indumentum of the inner and outer surface of the carpels, ovary wall anatomy, aril anatomy, pseudo-hilum form, seedling germination mode and structure of first leaves. The fruits of Paullinia are septifragal, and conspicuous colour contrasts between the pericarp, aril and seed in most species of this genus are suggestive of a bird dispersal syndrome. Interestingly, it appears that relatively minor structural changes are associated with switches to rodent dispersal in Paullinia sphaerocarpa and water dispersal in P. clathrata and P.

Department of Botany, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria. e-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] *Corresponding author: [email protected], +2348029180930 (Received: April, 2013; Accepted: June, 2013) ABSTRACT This study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative morphology to characterise and group different representative species of the family Sapindaceae in Africa. The morphological characters used included leaf, stem and fruit. Essentially, the similarities among various taxa in the family were estimated. A total of 28 genera and 106 species were assessed. Members possess compound leaves (paripinnate, imparipinnate or trifoliolate); flowers are in clusters, fruits occur as berry, drupe or capsule and contain seed with white or orange aril. UPGMA dendograms were generated showing relationships amongst taxa studied. The dendograms consists of a single cluster from 0 57 % similarity coefficients suggesting a single line decent of the members of the family. At 65 % two clusters were observed with Majidea fosterii being separated from the cluster. Also, at 67 % similarity coefficient, two clusters were discerned separating the climbing forms from the shrubby forms. Paullinia pinnata was separated from the other climbing forms at 67 % while Allophylus species were separated into two clusters at 91 % similarity coefficient. The dendograms revealed that the family can be separated into eleven (11) clusters based on qualitative morphological data. A key to the identification of genera is presented in this work.

    Sapindus Saponaria Florida Soapberry1 Edward F

    Fact Sheet ST-582 October 1994 Sapindus saponaria Florida Soapberry1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Florida Soapberry grows at a moderate rate to 30 to 40 feet tall (Fig. 1). The pinnately compound, evergreen leaves are 12 inches long with each leaflet four inches long. Ten-inch-long panicles of small, white flowers appear during fall, winter, and spring but these are fairly inconspicuous. The fleshy fruits which follow are less than an inch-long, shiny, and orange/brown. The seeds inside are poisonous, a fact which should be considered in the tree’s placement in the landscape, especially if children will be present. The bark is rough and gray. The common name of Soapberry comes from to the soap-like material which is made from the berries in tropical countries. Figure 1. Mature Florida Soapberry.

En concreto, el presente trabajo se ha centrado en los estudios de metabolómica no dirigida que utilizan como método analítico la cromatografía de líquidos acoplada a la espectrometría de masas con analizadores de alta resolución. La última etapa en el procesado de los datos obtenidos mediante esta estrategia analítica consiste en la identificación, por diferentes niveles de confianza, de los metabolitos de interés. Para ello, el investigador procede, en primera instancia, con la anotación de los analitos detectados mediante la búsqueda de sus masas exactas en bases de datos públicas. Por cada masa buscada, el investigador obtiene una lista con múltiples identificaciones, ninguna de las cuales permite identificar el analito de interés con un alto nivel de confianza. Sin embargo, aunque las anotaciones no permitan realizar una identificación inequívoca, el investigador puede aumentar el nivel de confianza y fiabilidad de la identificación mediante la revisión manual de cada una de las posibles anotaciones.

Due to its high amount of caffeine and tannins, the seed has medicinal and stimulating properties. The guarana industry has grown exponentially in recent years; however, little information is available about associated mycobiota, particularly endophytic fungi. The present study aimed to compare the distribution and diversity of endophytic fungi associated with the leaves and seeds of anthracnose-resistant and susceptible guarana plants produced in Maués and Manaus, Amazonas State, Brazil. A total of 7514 endophytic fungi were isolated on Potato Dextrose Agar, Sabouraud and Czapek media, and grouped into 77 morphological groups.

    [ APPLICATION NOTE ] LipidQuan-R for Triglycerides in Human Serum: A Rapid, Targeted UPLC-MS/MS Method for Lipidomic Research Studies Billy Joe Molloy Waters Corporation, Wilmslow, UK APPLICATION BENEFITS INTRODUCTION ■■ Simultaneous, targeted UPLC-MS/MS Triglycerides (TAG’s) are lipid molecules made up of a glycerol backbone and analysis of 54+ triglycerides (687 MRM three fatty acids, connected via ester linkages. They are the most abundant transitions) in a single analytical run that lipids in human serum and are the storage form for fatty acids. Historically, is under eleven minutes triglycerides have been measured as a single combined level of all triglycerides. However, this class of compound has huge variety in terms of ■■ High throughput analysis means larger sample sets can be analyzed the triglyceride species present. This variety is due to the three different fatty acid residues that make up a triglyceride, the number of carbon atoms (NC), ■■ Use of Multiple Reaction Monitoring and the number of double bonds (DB), vary from one triglyeride to another. (MRM) gives structural information Furthermore, a given triglyeride (NC:DB) might have various structural for triglycerides detected isomers due to a different combination of fatty acids giving the same NC:DB ■■ Use of a generic LC-MS configuration combination. Here we demonstrate a high-throughput UPLC-MS/MS yields versatility for switching from research method for the semi-quantitative analysis of various triglycerides in one compound class to another human serum samples. This method is capable of measuring 54 triglyceride NC:DB combinations and in excess of 100 individual triglycerides. This application note is also part of a LipidQuan-R Method Package.
