چکیده
Phenolic compounds present in Lolium multiflorum Lam. were isolated and characterized. Significant differences in their distribution were found, in shoots and roots of plants with (Lmþ) and without (Lm ) endophyte association, grown with (Micþ) and without (Mic ) mycorrhizal fungi Glomus intraradices, indicating a systemic effect of these microorganisms on the phenolics metabolism of L. multiflorum. We report the isolation of eight new flavonoids 7,8-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5methoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (1), 3,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (2), 7,8-dihydroxy-2-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4one (3), 3,7-dihydroxy-2-(4,5-dihydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (4), 5,6-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methoxy-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (5), 7-hydroxy8-methoxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (6), 3,7,8-trihydroxy-2-(4hydroxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (7) and 7,8-dihydroxy-2-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)4H-1-benzopyran-4-one (8), and two new benzoic acids 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid (9) and 3,6-dimethoxy-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid (10), found with the known deoxykaempferol (11), 20 ,7-dihydroxyflavone (12), 20 ,3,50 ,7,8-pentahydroxyflavone (13), 30 ,40-dihydroxy-3-methoxyflavone (14), 3,40-dihydroxy-3-methoxyflavone (15), galangin (16), gentisic acid (17), isoferulic acid (18), 4-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid (19), 3,4-dihydroxyphthalic acid (20), 2,5-dimethoxy-benzoic acid (21), p-methoxicinnamic acid (22) and 2,4-dimethoxyisophthalic acid (23). Compounds 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21 and 23, have not been isolated from plants before. 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Ammonia Assimilation in Zea mays L. Infected with a Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Glomus fasciculatum.
To investigate nitrogen assimilation and translocation in Zea mays L. colonized by the vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungus Glomus fasciculatum (Thax. sensu Gerd.), we measured key enzyme activities, 15N incorporation into free amino acids, and 15N translocation from roots to shoots. Glutamine synthetase and nitrate reductase activities were increased in both roots and shoots compared ...

White clover (Trifolium repens) plants were grown in the presence or absence of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices. Flavones, 4',5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxyflavone, as well as two flavones 3,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone never previously reported in plants, were isolated. The known 3,5,6,7...

Patients with grass pollen allergy, commonly called pollinosis, often present reactivity to pollen allergens from a number of grass species due to cross-reactivity of IgE antibodies to pollen proteins present in pollen grasses. In this context, Italian rye grass (Lolium multiflorum) pollen of the Poaceae family cultivated in Southern Brazil has been considered a major sensitizing agent in patie...

In this study seven plant species were collected from the forest of Arasbaran located in the northwest of Iran. Sampling was conducted in May and August and roots were used for calculating vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization percentage during the same period. Fine roots were separated, washed and put in FAA solution as a fixative. Through the time, root colonization of all plant speci...
متن کاملThe specificity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in perennial ryegrass–white clover pasture
For nitrogen to be transferred from a legume to grass through hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), as reported for a number of grass/legume combinations, the two species should be linked by a common hyphal network, which gives rise to the question of host–fungus preference. To examine the relative preference of perennial ryegrass and white clover for co-existing AMF, two experiments, a...
