Functional diversifications of cyanogenic glucosides.
Cyanogenic glucosides are present in many plants and their ability to liberate toxic HCN offers an immediate chemical defense response to herbivores and pathogens causing damage of the plant tissue. Countermeasures have evolved to overcome this type of defense and in some cases herbivores and pathogens are able to exploit the presence of cyanogenic glucosides to their own advantage. In plants, ...
متن کاملTwo new cyanogenic glucosides from the leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla.
Chemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Hydrangea macrophylla collected in the Sichuan Province of China resulted in the isolation of two new cyanogenic glucosides. Their structures were elucidated as [(2R)-2-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)] acetonitrile (1) and {(2R)-2-[α-D-glucopyranosyl(1-->6)β-D-glucopyranosyloxy]-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)}a...
متن کاملLessons Learned from Crowdsourcing Complex Engineering Tasks
CROWDSOURCING Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed ideas, services, or content by requesting contributions from a large group of people. Amazon Mechanical Turk is a web marketplace for crowdsourcing microtasks, such as answering surveys and image tagging. We explored the limits of crowdsourcing by using Mechanical Turk for a more complicated task: analysis and creation of wind simu...
متن کاملExperience Management: Lessons Learned from Knowledge Engineering
Experiential knowledge has been recognized as a critical success factor since the beginning of Knowledge Management, but practical work in the KM-field has shown that dealing with experiential knowledge is still not easy. Since the 80 Knowledge Engineering has been faced with the same kind of challange and can contribute by teaching us some important lessons, that we propose should be used as a...
متن کاملCyanogenic glucosides and plant-insect interactions.
Cyanogenic glucosides are phytoanticipins known to be present in more than 2500 plant species. They are considered to have an important role in plant defense against herbivores due to bitter taste and release of toxic hydrogen cyanide upon tissue disruption. Some specialized herbivores, especially insects, preferentially feed on cyanogenic plants. Such herbivores have acquired the ability to me...
