Sesquiterpene Hydrocarbons in Glandular Trichome Exudate of Rosa rugosa Leaves
نویسندگان
چکیده
From glandular trichome o f Rosa rugosa, three major sesquiterpene hydrocarbons [acora3(4),7(15)-diene, carota-4(5),ll(12)-diene (isodaucene) and carota-l,4-diene], and two minor [daucene and acora-3(4),7(8)-diene] were identified. The presence o f these carotadienes, which are possibly precursors o f the corresponding C-14-oxygenated carotanoids, suggested that the formation o f the carotane skeleton followed by the regio-specific oxygenation at C-14 occur in the biosynthesis o f R. rugosa carotanoids.

Capability of wild Rosa rugosa and its varieties and hybrids to produce sesquiterpene components in leaf glandular trichomes.
The sesquiterpene contents in leaves of wild Rosa rugosa and of sixty-one hybrid rugosas were quantitatively measured by a GC analysis. In this group of samples, the greater the number of glandular trichomes the hybrid rugosas possessed on their leaves, the larger the amount of sesquiterpenes they accumulated. In contrast, those having no leaf glandular hairs contained only a trace amount of se...
متن کاملFarinose alpine Primula species: phytochemical and morphological investigations.
This work investigated the epicuticular and tissue flavonoids, the volatiles and the glandular trichome structure of the leaves of four species of Primula L. that grow in the Italian Eastern Alps. Primula albenensis Banfi and Ferlinghetti, P. auricula L., P. farinosa L., P. halleri Gmelin produce farinose exudates that are deposited on the leaf surface as filamentous crystalloids. In addition t...
متن کاملDirect demonstration of duvatrienediol biosynthesis in glandular heads of tobacco trichomes.
Biosynthesis of the diterpenes, alpha and beta 4,8,13-duvatriene-1,3-diol, has been observed in detached, intact glandular heads from trichomes of Nicotiana tabacum, Tobacco Introduction 1068. This result shows directly that the glandular head portion of the trichome is capable of duvatrienediol biosynthesis. In additional experiments, all of the [(14)C] duvatrienediol formed from sodium [2-(14...
متن کاملInvestigation of Glandular Trichome Proteins in Artemisia annua L. Using Comparative Proteomics
Glandular secreting trichomes (GSTs) are called biofactories because they are active in synthesizing, storing and secreting various types of plant secondary metabolites. As the most effective drug against malaria, artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone is derived from GSTs of Artemisia annua. However, low artemisinin content (0.001%~1.54% of dry weight) has hindered its wide application. We inves...
متن کاملGlandular-haired alfalfa resistance to potato leafhopper (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) and hopperburn: development of resistance indices.
Eight proprietary genotypes of glandular-haired alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., supplied by two different companies, were compared for the degree and types of resistance to the potato leafhopper, Ernpoasca fabae (Harris), and hopperburn. A tube cage no-choice bioassay was developed to test leafhopper mortality, feeding, settling preferences, severity of hopperburn symptoms (in this case, defined a...
