Chromatographic Analysis of the Flavonoids from Robinia Pseudoacacia Species

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FLAVONOIDS FROM ROBINIA PSEUDOACACIA USING TWO DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF ANALYSIS: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and TLC coupled with photo-densitometry. The results obtained by chromatographic analysis showed a higher concentration of flavonoids in flowers than in leaves. The flowers harvested in the plains have a highe...

Diversification Factors of Cultivators/Investors of Robinia pseudoacacia (Black locust)

In an effort to minimize environmental degradation caused by the intensive use of agrochemicals, European Union adopted regulations relevant to afforestation and set aside of agricultural land. The multifunctional role of agriculture enhanced through these regulations and provided adequate motives for a change in the conventional land uses. Cultivators/investors that are interested in afforeste...

Genetic transformation of Robinia pseudoacacia by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

Transgenic Robinia pseudoacacia plants were obtained by Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated gene transfer. Agrobacterium strain LBA4404 harbouring a binary vector that contained the chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPTII) and beta-glucuronidase (GUS) genes was co-cultivated with hypocotyl segments of in vitro raised seedlings of Robinia. Parameters important for high efficiency regenerat...

Physiological responses of Celtis caucasica L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. to the cadmium and lead stresses

Afforestation of contaminated areas is considered as a possible strategy for reduction of contaminations. In the present study, the effects of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were investigated on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Fo, and Fm), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll), and proline in one-year-old seedlings of Celtis caucasica and Robinia pseudoacacia...
