Ipomeamarone 15-hydroxylase activity was found in a microsomal fraction from cut-injured and Ceratocystis fimbriata-infected sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam. cv. Norin No. 1) root tissues and its optimum pH was 8.0. The enzyme reaction required O(2) and NADPH. The K(m) values calculated for
Recently, we isolated dehydroipomeamarone, a new sesquiterpenoid from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) root tissue infected with Ceratocystis fimbriata (Ell. et Halst.). The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether dehydroipomeamarone was a precursor in the biosynthetic pathway of
Ultraweak luminescence generated by sweet potato and nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum interactions associated with a defense response was detected by a photoncounting method using ultrahigh-sensitive photodetectors. The time-dependent intensity variation, the spectrum and the two-dimensional imaging
Sweet potato may contain furanoterpenoids, including ipomeamarone, which cause lung edema.A 10-year-old schoolgirl was hospitalized with asthma exacerbation and acute pneumonia. Chest radiographs showed a diffuse opacity of the left lung and Sweet potato root tissue, when infected with different pathogens, invaded by insects, or irritated by certain chemicals, turns black-brown and produces and accumulates a large amount of furanoterpenoids such as ipomeamarone, ipomeamaronol, ipomeanine and 4-ipomeanol, which are toxic to animals. The
The extract solution from Sweet Potato was washed with 5% Na2CO3 and followed with distilled water and dried with dehydrated sodium sulfate (Na2SO4). The ether extract was evaporated and the residue (crude sample) was dissolved in a small volume of chloroform-soluble solution and was spotted on a
Data from many parts of the world on incidence and levels of aflatoxins in feeds and feed ingredients indicate cause for concern, especially in tropical and sub-tropical regions and in those countries importing feedstuffs from these areas. The main products affected are peanut (groundnut) meal,
