Efficient recovery of high quality RNA is very important for successful RT-PCR detection of plant RNA viruses. High levels of polyphenols and polysaccharides in plant tissues can irreversibly bind to and/or co-precipitate with RNA, which influences RNA isolation. In this study, a silica spin

Sucrose esters from the surface of leaves of Nicotiana tabacum L. have been shown to possess interesting biological activities. We developed a simple and effective method for their analysis using HPTLC silica gel plates, n-hexane-ethyl acetate (1:3, v/v) as developing solvent and

ABSTRACT Immuno-capillary zone electrophoresis (I-CZE) is a technique that combines the specificity afforded by serological assays with the sensitivity, rapidity, and automation in detection provided by capillary zone electrophoresis. Cymbidium mosaic potexvirus (CymMV) and odontoglossum ringspot

Steroidal glycosides of the spirostane and furostane series have been isolated from the methanolic extract of Nicotiana tabacum L. seeds by using gel filtration on silica gel and chromatography on a silica gel column. They were tentatively named nicotianosides A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), E (5), F

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Xanthi) plants were exposed to toxic levels of zinc (Zn). Zn exposure resulted in toxicity signs in plants, and these damages were partly reduced by a calcium (Ca) supplement. Confocal imaging of intracellular Zn using Zinquin showed that Zn was preferentially

Microcolumn liquid chromatography (microLC) combined with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry is used for the determination of intact glycosylated cytokinins and the corresponding aglycons at picomole and sub-picomole levels in plant tissue. Routine analysis was done on C8-bonded silica using a

A method for a large scale extraction of phosphoglycosphingolipids from the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum L. has been developed. The phosphosphingolipid concentrate consists of a dozen or more polar lipids as judged by thin layer chromatography. Two of these lipids were purified by chromatography on

In this paper, the chemical constituents and bioactivities of leaves of Nicotiana tabacum were investigated. Six compounds were isolated by means of various chromatographic techniques (silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, MCI GEL CHP-20P and HPLC), and their structures were elucidated as

Diterpenoids form a diverse class of small molecule natural products that are widely distributed across the kingdoms of life and have critical biological functions in developmental processes, interorganismal interactions, and environmental adaptation. Due to these various bioactivities, many

"Bead beating" is commonly used to release DNA from cells for genomic studies but it was used here to prepare suspensions of plant nuclei for measurement of DNA amounts by flow cytometry. Plant material was placed in 2-ml screw-capped tubes containing beads of zirconia/silica (2.5 mm diameter) or
