Identification of aluminum species in an aluminum-accumulating plant, hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla), by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.

The use of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in negative ion mode was investigated as a direct probe for identifying Al species in Al-accumulating hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) samples. Cell sap solutions of hydrangea leaves were purified using Sephadex G-10 liquid chromatography and each fraction was analyzed using ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS to identify Al species. In hydrangea ...

Chemical constituents from the leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla var. thunbergii (III): Absolute stereostructures of hydramacrosides A and B, secoiridoid glucoside complexes with inhibitory activity on histamine release.

Following the characterization of dihydroisocoumarin constituents, two secoiridoid glucoside complexes, called hydramacrosides A and B, were isolated from the leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla Seringe var. thunbergii Makino. The absolute stereostructures of hydramacrosides A and B were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence, which included the application of the 13C-NMR ...

Chemical constituents from the Hydrangea chinensis.

Two quinazolone alkaloids, (+)-febrifugine (1) and isofebrifugine (2), along with three coumarin derivatives, 6-hydroxy coumarin (3), skimmin (5), and umbelliferone-7-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), were isolated from the roots of Hydrangea chinensis. Compound 6 is a new compound. In addition, umbelliferone (4), linoleic acid (7), two steroidal glycosides (8, 9), th...

In Vitro Germination and Dormancy Responses of Hydrangea macrophylla and Hydrangea paniculata Seeds to Ethyl Methane Sulfonate and Cold Treatment

To determine the optimal conditions for mutagenesis of Hydrangea macrophylla (Thunb.) Ser. and Hydrangea paniculata Siebold, cold-treated and untreated seed from representative cultivars were exposed to 0.5%, 2.5%, and 5.0% ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS). Most untreated H. macrophylla seed exposed to 2.5% and 5.0% EMS had substantially lower germination percentages. H. paniculata seed germinatio...
