isobutyric acid/avena sativa

Stem segments containing a single node and quiescent lateral bud (tiller) were excised from the bases of oat shoots (cv. ;Victory') and used to study the effects of plant hormones on release of lateral buds and development of adventitious root primordia. Kinetin (10(-5) and 10(-6) molar) stimulates

Arabinoxylan (AX) is abundant in cereal grains used as feed for ducks. However, the duck intestinal microbes responsible for the degradation of AX are not fully understood. In this study, oat AX was degraded and utilized by different duck intestinal microbiota in vitro. Changes in short-chain fatty

Racemic 2-(5,7-dichloro-3-indolyl)propionic acid (5,7-Cl(2)-2-IPA) was synthesized from 5,7-dichloroindole-3-acetic acid by successive esterification, methoxycarbonylation, methylation, and double hydrolysis. The racemate was converted to diastereomeric esters of l-menthol; these were separated by
