Hordenine is biosynthesized in young roots of barley by subsequent N-methylation of tyramine. It was shown that two distinct enzymes are responsible for these methylation reactions. They differed in their pH-optimum, their stability in dependence of the pH-value, and were partially resolved by
A method was devised for the extraction and quantification of hordenine and gramine from barley (Hordeum vulgare) tissue using HPLC techniques. Quantification was by peak area, the relationship between peak area and concentration of authentic standards being linear for both hordenine and gramine.
Melanin plays an important role protecting skin against ultraviolet light injury. However, increased production and accumulation of melanin results in a large number of skin disorders. Here, we identified hordenine as an active compound from germinated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and investigated
The two alkaloids gramine and hordenine have been known for playing a role in the allelopathic ability in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). These allelochemicals can be both found in leaves and roots in some barley cultivars whereas in others one seems to exclude the other. In this study eighteen
