Pinus densiflora is an important pine species in Northeast Asia due to its historical, cultural, and economic values. Pine wood nematode (PWN) seriously damages P. densiflora, causing the wilt disease (PWD). Changes of phyto-compounds resin monoterpenes after infection PWN were studied. The changes identified by GC-MS control infected densiflora. Among phytochemicals (in densiflora), 3-carene w...

The synthesis of novel phosphatidylcholines with geranic and citronellic acids in sn-1 and sn-2 positions is described. The structured phospholipids were obtained in high yields (59-87%) and evaluated in vitro for their cytotoxic activity against several cancer cell lines of different origin: MV4-11, A-549, MCF-7, LOVO, LOVO/DX, HepG2 and also towards non-cancer cell line BALB/3T3 (normal mice ...

A new glycoside of salicylic aldehyde, paeonicluside, was isolated from the roots of the Greek endemic species Paeonia clusii subsp. clusii and identified as alpha-L-arabinopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside of salicylic aldehyde (1). In addition, one characteristic monoterpene and two monoterpene glycosides were identified as paeoniflorigenone, paeoniflorin and benzoyl paeoniflorin, re...

Cabboiism ~f Mirno"eerpenes. Research uncx DOE sapport during -1991 established the pathways for the metabolism of menthone in peppermint and through a series of in vivo feeding experiments and in virro studies. Each enzyme of each pathway was partially purified from leaf extracts and characterized. This work has been described in detail (7,27). A recent review (30) correlates genetic data from...

Abstract Background Mitigation of climate change requires that new routes for the production fuels and chemicals be as oil-independent possible. The microbial conversion lignocellulosic feedstocks into terpene-based biofuels bioproducts represents one such route. This work builds upon previous demonstrations single-celled carotenogenic basidiomycete, Rhodosporidium toruloides , is a promising h...
