phalaris/tyrosine

This present study was to evaluate the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity of nine diterpenes isolated from seeds of Phalaris canariensis, as well as their effect on streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetic mice. Their structures were established by

Lignin content and enzymes involved in lignification were measured in leaf discs of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) inoculated with Helminthosporium avenae and floated on water or solutions of cycloheximide (25 mug/ml). Fungal germ tubes did not penetrate localized lignified swellings,

The leaves of the perennial pasture grass Phalaris aquatica L. (phalaris) contain two groups of known toxins, indole alkaloids, primarily dimethyltryptamines and N-methyltyramines, which cause illnesses in grazing animals, especially sheep. Using amino-reactive and phenolic hydroxyl-reactive

BACKGROUND Allelopathy (negative, plant-plant chemical interactions) has been largely studied as an autecological process, often assuming simplistic associations between pairs of isolated species. The growth inhibition of a species in filter paper bioassay enriched with a single chemical is commonly

Root- and shoot-feeding herbivores have the capacity to influence one another by modifying the chemistry of the shared host plant. This can alter rates of nutrient mineralization and uptake by neighboring plants and influence plant-plant competition, particularly in mixtures combining grasses and
