Antioxidative flavan-3-ol glycosides from stems of Rhizophora stylosa.
Two flavan-3-ol glycosides together with seven flavan-3-ols were isolated from stems of the mangrove plant, Rhizophora stylosa. Their structures were established as glabraoside A (7) and glabraoside B (8) by spectroscopic and chemical methods. The antioxidative activity of these isolated compounds evaluated by the diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging reaction was higher than that of...
متن کاملChromosomal Pairing and Pollen Viability in Rhizophora mangle and Rhizophora stylosa Hybrids
Two prominent mangrove species of Fiji, Rhizophora mangle, Linn. Rhizophora stylosa Griff and their puative hyubrid (R x selala) were analysed for chromosome number and pairing. Both parental species and their hybrid possess a diploid number of (2n) = 36 chromosomes. Regular 18 bivalents were observed in two species but the hybrid lacked proper chromosome pairing during meiosis. Analysis of tet...
متن کاملDamage and alteration of mangroves inhabited by a marine wood-borer
Animals can exert a strong influence on the structure and function of foundation species such as mangroves. Because mangroves live at the interface of land and sea, both terrestrial and marine species affect them, including numerous herbivores and boring species. These organisms can affect the fecundity, performance, and morphology of mangroves. In a mangrove stand in southwestern Taiwan, we di...
متن کاملFlavanol derivatives from Rhizophora stylosa and their DPPH radical scavenging activity.
A new acetylated flavanol, 3,7-O-diacetyl (-)-epicatechin (3), and seven known flavanol derivatives, (-)-epicatechin (1), 3-O-acetyl (-)-epicatechin (2), 3,3',4',5,7-O-pentaacetyl (-)-epicatechin (4), (+)-afzelechin (5), (+)-catechin (6), cinchonain Ib (7), and proanthocyanidin B2 (8), were isolated from the stems and twigs of the mangrove plant Rhizophora stylosa and identified. The crude extr...
متن کاملChemical Ecology of Wood-boring Insects
The roles and chemistry of pheromones that mediate reproductive behaviors of cerambycid beetles have received remarkably little attention, given the economic importance of many cerambycid species. Until recently, very few volatile sex pheromones and nonvolatile contact pheromones had been identified. However, that situation is changing rapidly, with the number of identified pheromones more than...
