It is responsible for the decay resistance of heartwood of trees of the Cupressaceae. It is also used as an additive to toothpaste, cosmetics, and foods in Japan and has scavenging activity against reactive oxygen species and cytotoxic activity against several cancer cells lines. Here, Cupressus dupreziana callus cultures were developed as an experimental system to isolate thujaplicin biosynthetic genes. A homology-based PCR cloning strategy was employed in an attempt to isolate a monoterpene synthase gene involved in β- thujaplicin biosynthesis. _______________________, Committee Chair Dr. Tom Savage _______________________ Date v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people I would like to thank. First and foremost I would like to thank Dr. Tom Savage, my research advisor, for all his help and guidance throughout this process. He has been a great mentor and I am lucky to have had him as my advisor. I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. McCarthy and Dr. Ewing, for their help and insightful comments. Next I would like to thank John Disney and Ted Ferrera. Anytime I needed a chemical or equipment John helped me find it and whenever an instrument wasn’t working Ted was there to fix it. Chatting at the stockroom window was also therapeutic. Thanks to all my fellow research students for the encouraging words and friendship. A special thank you to Barbara Coulombe for helping me with my presentation as well as keeping me sane towards the end of this process. Finally I would like to thank my family. Thank you Hamid, for encouraging and supporting me to do more - always. Thank you Naseem and Eemon, I was able to focus on my studies because you are such great kids. I love you all more than I can say. And to my parents who instilled the love of learning and always made me believe I could do anything I set my mind to. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements ....................................................................................................... vi List of Tables ................................................................................................................. ix List of Figures ................................................................................................................. x Chapter 1.

  • Resin Acids in Rosin (Colophony) Solder Flux Fume Laboratory Method Using Gas Chromatography
    Health and Safety Executive Resin acids in rosin (colophony) solder flux fume Laboratory method using gas chromatography Scope 1 This method describes the measurement of time-weighted average concentrations of rosin (also known as colophony) based solder flux fume collected onto membrane filters with analysis of the resin acid components, after derivatisation, by gas chromatography (GC). Summary 2 A measured volume of air is drawn through a membrane filter mounted in a sampling head close to the breathing zone. The filter is solvent desorbed, the resin acids derivatised and then quantified using GC with a flame ionisation detector (FID). If confirmation of the resin acid components’ identities is required, samples may also be analysed by GC with a mass spectrometer (MS) detector. However, MS is not recommended for quantitative analysis as, unlike an FID, the MS detector gives different response factors for the various resin acids. The use of alternative methods not included in the MDHS series is acceptable provided they can demonstrate the accuracy and reliability appropriate to the application. Recommended sampling 3 For long-term exposures: Maximum sampling time: 8 hours; Sampling rate: 1–2 l-1min; Sampled volume: up to 960 litres. For short-term exposures: Sampling time: 15 mins; Sampling rate: 2 lmin-1; Sampled volume: 30 litres. Prerequisites 4 Users of this method will need to be familiar with the content of MDHS14.1 Safety 5 Users of this method should be familiar with normal laboratory practice and MDHS83/3 carry out a suitable risk assessment. It is the user’s responsibility to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Western Red Cedar Report
    Forintek Canada Corp. Western Division 2665 East Mall Vancouver, BC V6T 1W5 Maximizing Natural Durability of Western Red-cedar: Beyond Thujaplicins by Jean Clark Bob Daniels Paul Morris Mycological Technologist Wood Chemistry Analyst Group Leader Durability and Protection Durability and Protection Durability and Protection Prepared for March 2004 Recipient Agreement Number: R04-013 Research Program Date: March 2004 C. R. Daniels Janet Ingram Jean Cook Acting Project Leader Reviewed Department Manager Maximizing Natural Durability of Western Red-cedar: Beyond Thujaplicins Confidential Summary Western red-cedar (WRC, Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) wood was extracted sequentially with six solvents using two extraction methods. The extracts were prepared for subsequent bioassay and analysed by high performance liquid chromatography for known bioactive compound concentrations. To focus identification of the extractives on those with bioactive properties, it was necessary to develop a micro-bioassay that would allow the biological activity of the unknown compounds present to be determined using minute quantities of each extracted constituent. The initial proposed technique utilised the loss of birefringence that occurs when decay fungi disrupt the crystalline cellulose structure as wood decays. Microtome sections of perishable sapwood were treated with microgram amounts of T. plicata heartwood compounds prior to exposure to decay fungi. The efficacy of the applied extract was then to be measured relative to the birefringence loss in untreated pine sapwood. Validation of the technique required standardisation of a number of variables. Over 600 thin sections of ponderosa pine sapwood were cut and exposed to three different fungi, plus non-infected controls, under varying conditions of section thickness and orientation, media and growth conditions, viz, on grids or sterile microscope slides, with and without cover-slips, and with and without supplemental nitrogen, for six different incubation periods.

Camus, an endemic species in the Tassili n’Ajjer (Sahara Central Algeria), were analysed by gas chomatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Terpinoid analyses were performed on 13 trees in the natural population of Hahadjerine in order to determine the intra-population variability. 39 trepenoids were identified; the averages of the principal components were trans- totarol (24.4%), Manoyl oxide (21.2%), α-pinene (15%) and Δ3-carene (11.3%). The terpenoid markers used made it possible to determine the individual patterns of chemotypic variability. This variability confirms that genetic factors are not solely responsible for the decrease in the numbers of this species.

  • Hinokitiol Production in Suspension Cells of Thujopsis Dolabrata Var
    55 Original Papers Plant Tissue Culture Letters, 12(1), 55-61(1995) Hinokitiol Production in Suspension Cells of Thujopsis dolabrata var. hondai Makino Ryo FUJII, Kazuo OZAKI, Migifumi INO and Hitoshi WATANABE Integrated Technology Laboratories, Takeda Chemical Industries, Ltd. 11, Ichijoji-takenouchi-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606 Japan (Received May 19, 1994) (Accepted October 8, 1994) Suspension cells of Thujopsis dolabrata var. hondai Makino were used as the material for studying the culture conditions by a two-step culture method (cell growth step and secondary metabolite production step) for the production of hinokitiol (Q-thujaplicin). Murashige and Skoog's (MS) medium containing N03-N and NH4-N in the ratio 3-5:1 (total nitrogen 30-75 mM) with 1.0mg/l NAA and 0.2mg/l TDZ was most desirable for cell growth (MS-O medium). The growth showed 14-fold increase after 30 days of culture in this medium. A higher ratio of NH4-N to total nitrogen resulted in hinokitiol accumulation in the cells. When the cells were transferred to the modified MS-O medium with the ratio of N03-N:NH4-N changed to 1:2 (MS-PC medium), an increase of hinokitiol level was observed. Also feeding acetates to the medium enhanced hinokitiol accumula- tion considerably. The highest hinokitiol content of 422tg/g FW was obtained when the cells were cultured in MS-O medium supplemented with 4.3mM acetic acid. Introduction An irregular monoterpene hinokitiol (B-thujaplicin) is widely present in the heartwood of the families Cupressaceae1). Hinokitiol has antimicrobial properties, and recently it has been indicated that hinokitiol suppresses ethylene synthesis and respiration of some fruits and vegetables.
