bellis sylvestris/carbohydrate

Triterpenoid glycosides obtained from Solidago virgaurea L. and Bellis perennis L. (Asteraceae) inhibit the growth of human-pathogenic yeasts (Candida and Cryptococcus species). First results are given of the investigations on the mode of action and the relationships between structure and activity

In contrast to the wealth of biochemical and genetic information on vertebrate glucuronosyltransferases (UGATs), only limited information is available on the role and phylogenetics of plant UGATs. Here we report on the purification, characterization, and cDNA cloning of a novel UGAT involved in the

Several biodiversity experiments have shown positive effects of species richness on aboveground biomass production, but highly variable responses of individual species. The well-known fact that the competitive ability of plant species depends on size differences among species, raises the question of
