The ability of two compounds, a cytokinin and an auxin, to stimulate tobacco cell growth and differentiation has been known for greater than 30 years, but the molecular mechanism of this activation is still unknown. Previous reports of factors endogenous in crown gall tumors of Vinca rosea that
The dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol glucosides A and B are factors isolated from transformed Vinca rosea tumor cells that can replace the cytokinin requirement for growth of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) pith and callus cells in culture. These factors, present in tobacco pith cells, have their
(7R,8S)-Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DDA), a lignan isolated from the dried stems of Clematis armandii, has been found to exert potential anti-inflammatory activity in vitro. In the present study, we investigated the effects and possible mechanisms of DDA on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated
BACKGROUND
The dried stems of Clematis armandii (Caulis clematidis armandii), named "Chuan-Mu-Tong" in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, have been traditionally used as an herbal remedy mainly for inflammation-associated diseases. The Aim of the study is to identify the potential anti-neuroinflammatory
Mutations at the cytokinin biosynthesis locus (tmr) of Agrobacterium tumefaciens usually result in strains that induce tumors exhibiting the rooty phenotype associated with high auxin-to-cytokinin ratios. However, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv Havana 425) leaf disc explants responded to tmr- mutant
Accumulating epidemiological data suggest that Asian men have lower incidences of prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) compared with American and European populations and may have benefited from their higher intake of phytoestrogens in their diet. However, how these phytochemicals
OBJECTIVE
To study the bioactive constituents of the fresh rhizome of Pinellia ternata, and provide the scientific basis for quality control.
METHODS
Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the chemical constituents, and their chemical structures were determined on the
Dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol glucosides (DCGs) are derivatives of the phenylpropanoid pathway that have been isolated from Catharansus roseus L. (Vinca rosea) crown gall tumors. Fractions containing purified DCGs have been shown previously to promote the growth of cytokinin-requiring tissues of
Flax lignans and neolignans impart health benefits, particularly in treating different types of cancers, due to their strong phytoestrogenic and antioxidant properties. The present study enhances the comprehension on the biosynthesis of antioxidant lignans and neolignans in root-derived in vitro
