In recent years tartary buckwheat has become popular healthful food due to its antioxidant, antidiabetic and antitumor activities. However, its chemical constituents have not yet been fully characterized and identified. In this paper, a novel high performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector and linear ion trap FTICR hybrid mass spectrometry (HPLC-PDA/LTQ-FTICRMS) me...

Background Tartary buckwheat (TB), a crop rich in protein, dietary fiber, and flavonoids, has been reported to have an effect on Type II diabetes (T2D), hypertension (HT), and hyperlipidemia (HL). However, limited information is available about the relationship between Tartary buckwheat and these three diseases. The mechanisms of how TB impacts these diseases are still unclear. Methods In thi...

Buckwheat, a pseudo cereal, is an alternative crop belonging to the family Polygonaceae. Buckwheat is generally grouped with cereals due to similarity in cultivation and utilization though it is not cereal grain. Two types of buckwheat are used around the world: common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) depending on the production zone. Generally...

The current infrafamilial taxonomy of the Iridaceae recognizes four subfamilies; Isophysidoideae (1: 1); Nivenioideae (6: ca. 92), Iridoideae (29: 890), and Crocoideae (29: 1032). Phylogenetic analyses of sequences of five plastid DNA regions, rbcL, rps4, trnL–F, matK, and rps16, confirm most aspects of this classification and the evolutionary patterns that they imply, importantly the sisiter r...

Treatment of field pennycress (Thiaspi arvense L.) leaves with the herbicide chlorsulfuron resulted in a decrease in the export of assimilate. Twelve hours after a spot application of 1 microgram, assimilate translocation was 70% of that in control leaves. In excised leaves treated with chlorsulfuron the total amounts of sugars and free amino acids were 150 and 170%, respectively, of the amount...

Cercospora beticola Sacc. causes leaf spot diseases of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) (2,19,21), related species in the family Chenopodiaceae (6), and, in recent reports, on safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) (11,12) and German statice (Goniolimon tataricum) (3), belonging to plant families outside of the Chenopodiaceae family. Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is the most important foliar disease of ...

Climatic changes affect the growth dynamics of temperate trees, but these effects might differ between co-occurring ring- and diffuse-porous species as well mesic xeric rear-edge populations. We explore whether recent climate warming has increased sensitivity within-stand synchrony in groups differently. The natural beech–oak ecotone Western Romania at dry margin beech occurrence. Three ring-po...
