Fifteen anthocyanin structures are reported from an extract of black currant berries (Ribes nigrum L.). These are the 3-O-glucosides and the 3-O-rutinosides of pelargonidin, cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, petunidin, and malvidin, cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside, and the 3-O-(6' '-p-coumaroylglucoside)s of cyanidin and delphinidin. The anthocyanins were characterized by means of size exclusion chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, UV-visible spectroscopy, and electrospray mass spectrometry. The four main pigments (the 3-O-glucosides and the 3-O-rutinosides of delphinidin and cyanidin) made up >97% of the total anthocyanin content. The minor pigments were enriched from the extract by successive partition against ethyl acetate and by gel fractionation. These chromatographic steps were successfully used to isolate the acylated anthocyanins from the ethyl acetate layer and to separate cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside from the mixture of anthocyanins. The amounts of anthocyanin rutinosides were found to be higher than the amount of the corresponding glucosides for all detected pigments having the same aglycon moiety.  相似文献   

Variation in Oat Groats Due to Variety, Storage and Heat Treatment. I: Phenolic Compounds     

L. H. Dimberg  E. L. Molteberg  R. Solheim  W. Frlich 《Journal of Cereal Science》1996,24(3):263-272

Low molecular weight phenolic compounds present in heat processed oats (Avena sativaL) were analysed. The oat grains were of three varieties (Kapp, Mustang and Svea), stored at different relative humidities (30, 55 or 80%) and periods (3·5 or 15·5 months) and processed with or without hulls. Eleven UV-absorbing compounds detected by High Performance Liquid Chromatography were subjected to univariate and multivariate statistical analysis. The selected compounds included caffeic acid,p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid,p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, vanillin, coniferyl alcohol, three avenanthramides and one unidentified substance. The levels of vanillic acid, vanillin and, especially,p-coumaric acid,p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and coniferyl alcohol increased significantly in samples processed with hulls, but not in samples processed without hulls. Ferulic acid increased in both processes, while caffeic acid and the avenanthramides were found to decrease during processing. Storage of unprocessed samples for 1 year generally increased the levels of phenolic acids and aldehydes. For the phenolic acids (except ferulic acid), this increase was most pronounced after storage at high relative humidity (80%). The avenanthramides were present at their highest levels in Mustang, caffeic acid in Svea and Mustang, the unidentified compound in Svea, while all the other compounds studied were present predominantly in the variety Kapp.  相似文献

Initial characterization of an unidentified Armillaria isolate from Serbia using LSU‐IGS1 and TEF‐1‐α genes          下载免费PDF全文

Armillaria species have a global distribution and play variable ecological roles, including causing root disease of diverse forest, ornamental and horticultural trees. Accurate identification of Armillaria species is critical to understand their distribution and ecological roles. This work focused on characterizing an unidentified Armillaria isolate from a Serbian forest using pairing, sequencing of the partial large subunit and intergenic spacer‐1 regions of rDNA (LSU‐IGS1) and the translation elongation factor‐1 alpha gene (tef‐1α) genes, and phylogenetic analyses. Despite previously obtained LSU‐IGS1 RFLP patterns that matched the newly described North American Armillaria altimontana, pairing tests and phylogenetic analyses of LSU‐IGS1 and tef‐1α sequences clearly demonstrate that the unidentified isolate is not A. altimontana. Based on LSU‐IGS1, Armillaria gallica isolates were polyphyletic, and the Serbian isolate clustered with a subset of European A. gallica isolates within a well‐supported clade (99%). Based on tef‐1α, the Serbian isolate appeared as a separate, well‐supported clade (97%) that was basal to other poorly resolved, polyphyletic clades containing European A. gallica isolates. It is speculated that the unidentified Armillaria isolate from Serbia could represent an evolutionary ancestral state because of its separate, basal position compared with other clades comprising polyphyletic European A. gallica isolates. Alternatively, this unidentified Serbian isolate could represent an unusual hybrid because of its high‐level sequence heterogeneity, represented by multiple two‐nucleotide codes, within tef‐1α. Further characterization is needed to confirm the taxonomic status and ecological/evolutionary significance of this unique, unknown Armillaria isolate from Serbia.  相似文献   

Addition of glycine reduces the content of acrylamide in cereal and potato products   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

The effects of adding amino acids on the content of acrylamide in potato crisps, French fries, flat breads, and bread crusts were investigated. Addition of glycine or glutamine during blanching of crisps reduced the amount of acrylamide by approximately 30% compared to no addition. No effect was found in French fries. Addition of glycine during doughmaking significantly reduced acrylamide in both flat breads and bread crusts. In bread crusts the reduction of acrylamide ranged from 50 to >90% depending on the baking condition. In flat breads the reduction varied between 60 and >95%.  相似文献   

Hymenoscyphus fraxineus is a leaf pathogen of local Fraxinus species in the Russian Far East          下载免费PDF全文

Dieback of European ash was first observed in Europe in the early 1990s. The disease is caused by the invasive ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, proposed to originate from Far East Asia, where it has been considered a harmless saprotroph. This study investigates the occurrence of H. fraxineus in tissues of local ash species in the Russian Far East, and assesses its population‐specific genetic variation by ITS sequencing. Shoot dieback symptoms, characteristic of H. fraxineus infection on European ash, were common, but not abundant, on Fraxinus mandshurica and Fraxinus rhynchophylla trees in Far East Russia. High levels of pathogen DNA were associated with necrotic leaf tissues of these ash species, indicating that the local H. fraxineus population is pathogenic to their leaves. However, the low levels of H. fraxineus DNA detected in shoots with symptoms, the failure to isolate this fungus from such tissues, and the presence of other fungi with pathogenic potential in shoots with symptoms indicate that local H. fraxineus strains may not be responsible (or their role is negligible) for the observed ash shoot dieback symptoms in the region. Conspicuous differences in ITS rDNA sequences detected between H. fraxineus isolates from Russian Far East and European populations suggest that the current ash dieback epidemic in Europe might not directly originate from the Russian Far East. Revision of the herbarium material shows that the earliest specimen of H. fraxineus was collected in 1962 from the Russian Far East and the oldest H. fraxineus specimen of China was collected in 2004.  相似文献

Tiarosporella parca has been found in different plots in Norway, mostly in small amounts. However, in Pasvik, East-Finnmark, this species was rather common and replaced the otherwise most common species, Lophodermiumpiceae.  相似文献   

Inducible anatomical defense responses in Norway spruce stems and their possible role in induced resistance     

Krokene P  Solheim H  Krekling T  Christiansen E 《Tree physiology》2003,23(3):191-197

Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees were preinoculated with a sublethal dose of the blue-stain fungus Ceratocystis polonica Siem. (C. Moreau) 1 to 52 weeks before they were mass inoculated with the same fungus. Trees pretreated 1 week before mass inoculation had similar, severe symptoms of fungal infection as the control trees. Pretreatment 3, 6 or 9 weeks before mass inoculation resulted in effective protection of the trees, reducing pathogenic symptoms by 63-90% relative to the control trees, whereas pretreatment 52 weeks before mass inoculation gave intermediate protection (44-71% reduction in symptoms). Thus, pretreatment induced resistance to the blue-stain fungus in Norway spruce by a process that requires more than 1 week to become activated and protects trees for at least one year after pretreatment. Pretreatment induced formation of traumatic resin ducts (TDs) in the sapwood and swelling and proliferation of polyphenolic parenchyma cells (PP cells) in the phloem. Trees pretreated 3-9 weeks before mass inoculation had more TDs and showed greater swelling of existing PP cells than control trees or trees pretreated 1 week before mass inoculation. We conclude that induced disease resistance in Norway spruce is probably associated with PP cell activation and TD induction, because resistance was enhanced within the same time frame as the induction of these defense responses.  相似文献   

Viral interference with MHC class I antigen presentation pathway: the battle continues     

Ambagala AP  Solheim JC  Srikumaran S 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》2005,107(1-2):1-15

CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play a critical role in the defense against viral infections. In general, CD8+ CTLs recognize antigenic peptides in the context of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule. The MHC class I molecules are expressed on almost all the nucleated cells in the body. The trimolecular complex consisting of the class I heavy chain, beta2-microglobulin and the peptide are generated by the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway. This pathway is designed to sample the intracellular milieu and present the information to the CTLs trafficking the area. This rigorous sampling of intracellular environment enables the CTLs to quickly identify and eliminate the cells that synthesize non-self proteins as a result of a viral infection. Many viruses, including several viruses of veterinary importance, have evolved astounding strategies to interfere with the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway, as a means of evading the CTL response of the host. This review focuses on the diverse mechanisms of viral evasion of the MHC class I antigen presentation pathway with particular emphasis on viruses of veterinary importance.  相似文献   

Methyl jasmonate and oxalic acid treatment of Norway spruce: anatomically based defense responses and increased resistance against fungal infection     

Krokene P  Nagy NE  Solheim H 《Tree physiology》2008,28(1):29-35

To study the effect of chemical pretreatment on conifer resistance, 13-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees were treated with methyl jasmonate (MJ) or oxalic acid (OxA) on the outer bark and inoculated with the pathogenic blue-stain fungus Ceratocystis polonica (Siem.) C. Moreau 4 weeks later. Both chemicals significantly reduced symptoms of fungal infection, but MJ was more effective than OxA (51 versus 18% reduction in length of necrotic lesions in the phloem relative to untreated control trees). Anatomical examination of treated stem tissues showed that MJ induced extensive formation of traumatic resin ducts in the xylem and extra polyphenolic parenchyma (PP) cells in the secondary phloem between the cambium and the regular annual PP cell layer. No traumatic resin ducts were formed after treatment with OxA, and the coverage of extra PP cells in OxA-treated tissues was not significantly higher than in the controls. The anatomically based defense reactions induced by MJ were similar to the reactions observed after pathogen infection, mechanical wounding and bark beetle attack. Neither MJ nor OxA had apparent phytotoxic effects on Norway spruce at the concentrations used, with needle and stem tissues of all trees appearing normal without visible symptoms of toxicity. However, trees treated with MJ had 30% less radial sapwood growth than control trees. In conclusion, MJ treatment of Norway spruce appears to have practical potential as a tool for increasing plant resistance to fungal infection, but with a modest reduction in sapwood growth.  相似文献
