Micropropagation of Mahonia ‘Soft Caress’

Tertiary alkaloids of Mahonia aquifolium

The bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids aromoline and obamegine and the protoberberine alkaloid oxyberberine were isolated for the first time from the roots of Mahonia aquifolium (PURSH) NUTT. in addition to further two bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids berbamine and oxyacanthine, which have al­ ready been found in this species. Seeds of this plant contained the bisbenzyliso­ quinoline alkaloid isote...

Mahonia Leschenaultii – a Toda Plant

The present communication deals with a valuable plant Mahonia leschenaultia used by the Todas of Nilgiris in their religious and medical practices.

Isolation of quaternary alkaloids from Mahonia aquifotium

Five alkaloids were isolated from the underground part of Mahonia aquifolium of domestic origin: magnoflorine, berberine, palmatine, jatrorrhizine, and columbamine. The aerial part of this plant contained only berberine, palmati­ ne, and jatrorrhizine. The identity of the isolated bases was corroborated by colour reactions in the u.v. light, by i.r. and mass spectra, optical rotation and compar...

Affect Space: Semantics of Caress

This project focuses on the development of a language of interaction based on developing an affect space in collaborative sensing environments. The goal is to design a networked semantics of caress, where the interactivity can recognize, understand, and even express non-rational states such as emotion or intention . This suggests the development of qualitative models for data flow and data-arch...
