Isoflavonoid contents of different plant parts and callus tissues of the Indian Kudzu, Pueraria tuberosa (Roxb.ex.Willd.) DC are presented. The initial cultures were slow growing, associated with browning of the tissues. The production of four isoflavonoids (puerarin, genistin, genistein and daidzein) in the callus cultures of P. tuberosa was studied by manipulating the plant growth regulators ...

Alkaloid profile of the aerial parts of Genista sandrasica Hartvig & Strid. (Fabaceae) growing in Turkey was studied by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ten quinolizidine alkaloids were identified in the alkaloid extract of G. sandrasica. The main alkaloids were: sparteine (13.68%), Nacetylcytisine (6.48%), 13-methoxylupanine (13.12%), anagyrine (40.49%) and baptifoline (...

Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was employed to investigate chromatographic behavior of selected flavonoids from their different subgroups differing in polarity. Chromatographic measurements were performed on two different HILIC columns: unmodified silica (Atlantis-HILIC) and zwitterionic sulfoalkylbetaine (SeQuant ZIC-HILIC). Separation parameters such as content and type of org...

Flowers from several common Mediterranean shrubs, such as those from the Cytisus genus and Genista genus (tribe Genisteae/Fabaceae) have long been used for medicinal purposes and seasoning in the northeastern Portuguese region. Despite, the shade-drying traditionally used to process these plants, freeze-drying is claimed to better preserve the quality of medicinal plants. Herein, the effects of...
