Cytomorphological Studies in Dugesia Species of Iran

OPTICAL STUDIES OF COLORED CHEMICAL SPECIES

Evanescent wave spectroscopy using thin optically transparent electrodes and multiple reflections allows unique observations of the electrochemical interphase since the region of solution sampled is typically 100 nm from the electrode in the visible spectral region. This technique is found to be highly sensitive to the presence of absorbing adsorbed species

[Studies on the constituents of Cimicifuga species].

The chemical constituents of Cimicifuga simplex and its related species were reexamined using HPLC and high resolution spectral analysis. From C. simplex, C. acerina and C. japonica, a new alkaloid, 59 new cycloartane triterpene glycosides and 11 new aromatic constituents were isolated with the previously reported compounds. The latter aromatic constituents were identified in HPLC analysis of t...

Exploration and Exploitation of Novel SSR Markers for Candidate Transcription Factor Genes in Lilium Species

Lilies (Lilium sp.) are commercially important horticultural crops widely cultivated for their flowers and bulbs. Here, we conducted large-scale data mining of the lily transcriptome to develop transcription factor (TF)-associated microsatellite markers (TFSSRs). Among 216,768 unigenes extracted from our sequence data, 6966 unigenes harbored simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Seventy-one SSRs were...

Phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of bulb extracts of six Lilium species native to China.

Lily (Lilium) is used as an important edible and medical plant species with a vague taxonomic classification and a long history in China. Bulbs of six Lilium species (L. regale, L. concolor, L. pumilum, L. leucanthum, L. davidii var. unicolor and L. lancifolium) native to China were investigated with a view to their exploitation as a potential source of natural antioxidants due to their phenoli...
