Changes in phenolic metabolism after elicitation with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (CG) has been studied in Hypericum perforatum L. (HP) cell suspension cultures. Soluble phenolics were analysed by HPLC–DAD and HPLC–DAD–MS/MS. HP cultures elicited with the CG elicitor showed a significant increase in xanthone accumulation. Xanthone accumulation increased twelve fold when the cells were primed with methyl-jasm...
The antioxidant potentials of a total ethanolic extract of Hypericum perforatum (TE) and fractions were evaluated and correlated with their phenolic contents. The extracts were fully characterised by HPLC-DAD-MS-MS. Kaempferol 3-rutinoside and rutin-acetyl were identified for the first time in TE extracts. The free radical-scavenging properties of TE (EC50=21 [mu]g dwb/ml) and fractions were studied using DPPH....
A esca é uma doença que afecta plantas da espécie Vitis vinifera levando a importantes perdas na produção de vinho. O fungo Phaeomoniella chlamydospora (PC) é frequentemente associado a plantas de videira com esca e declínio das vinhas. Informação sobre a interacção deste fungo com a esca e declínio das vinhas ainda é escassa. Para estudar mecanismos de defesa da videira ao fungo PC utilizamos culturas in vitro...
Esca is a destructive disease, of complex aetiology, that affects grapevines in several countries around the world, specially in the Mediterranean, South Africa and California (where is known as “black measles”). In the last few years the disease became a major concern given to its dramatic incidence increase. Till now, does not exist a method to treat plants attacked by Esca. To study the putative response of ...
Calli and suspended cells of Hypericum androsaemum accumulated high levels of 1,3,5,6 and 1,3,6,7 oxygenated xanthones. The major compounds include simple oxygenated xanthones or derivatives with prenyl, pyran or methoxyl groups, four of them being new natural compounds. A hypothetical biosynthetic scheme is proposed based on the isolated compounds and statistical analysis. Xanthone accumulation was influenced ...
