Analysis of highly purified extracts from spinach shoots by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has demonstrated the presence of six 13-C-hydroxylated gibberellins (GAs): GA(53), GA(44), GA(19), GA(17), GA(20), and GA(29). The major GAs were GA(17), GA(19), and GA(20), whereas the other three GAs occurred in trace amounts. Structural considerations suggest that the six GAs identified ...

licorice is obtained from glycyrrhiza glabra (g. glabra) in iran. glycyrrhizin is the main constituent of g. glabra and has several pharmacological effects. it is hydrolyzed to glycyrrhetic acid (ga) in the intestine after oral administration. in this study, a novel hplc method was used to determine the concentration of ga in rat plasma after oral administration of licorice aqueous extract. the...

Gibberellins (GAs) in suspensors and embryos of Phaseolus coccineus seeds at the heart stage of embryo development were analyzed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). From the suspensor four C(19)-GAs, GA(1), GA(4), GA(5), GA(6), and one C(20) GA, GA(44), were identified. From the embryo, five C(19)-GAs GA(1), GA(4), GA(5), GA(6), GA(60) and two C(20) GAs, GA(19) and GA(44) ...

Introduction: Accurate staging plays an important role in management of patients with prostate cancer especially in high-risk group. Today, [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT should be considered as the preferred imaging tool for treatment planning and initial staging of the disease. Methods: A total number of 628 patients with prostate cancer referred to...

the quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) method is used to develop the correlation between structures of refrigerants (198 compounds) and their critical temperature. molecular descriptors calculated from structure alone were used to represent molecular structures. a subset of the calculated descriptors selected using a genetic algorithm (ga) was used in the qspr model development...

Ten gibberellins (GAs) have been identified by Kovats retention indices and full mass spectra from GC-MS analysis of purified extracts of sporophytes of the tree-fern, Cyathea australis. These include the known GA(1), GA(4), GA(9), GA(15), GA(24), GA(35), and GA(58) and three new GAs, 12beta-hydroxyGA(9) (GA(69)), 12alpha-hydroxyGA(9) (GA(70)) and 12beta-hydroxyGA(4) (GA(71)). The structure of ...

Satsuma (Citrus unshiu [Mak] Marc.) and Clementine (Citrus reticulata [Hort.] Ex. Tanaka, cv Oroval) are two species of seedless mandarins differing in their tendency to develop parthenocarpic fruits. Satsuma is a male-sterile cultivar that shows a high degree of natural parthenocarpy and a high fruit set. Seedless Clementine varieties are self-incompatible, and in the absence of cross-pollinat...

Two cDNA clones, 3-ox and 2-ox, have been isolated from developing pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) embryos that show significant amino acid homology to gibberellin (GA) 3-oxidases and 2-oxidases, respectively. Recombinant fusion protein of clone 3-ox converted GA(12)-aldehyde, GA(12), GA(15), GA(24), GA(25), and GA(9) to GA(14)-aldehyde, GA(14), GA(37), GA(36), GA(13), and GA(4), respectively. Recom...

A mixture of tritiated and deuterated gibberellin A(4) (GA(4)) was injected into the xylem of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) propagules, below an elongating shoot, or applied directly on the needles of an elongating shoot. The distribution of [(2)H(2)]GA(4) and [(3)H]GA(4) in the needles, stems and buds was determined after 4, 12 and 24 h. After 4 h, most of the xylem-injected GA(4) was...
