Five new phenolic compounds, 4-(beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl-propanone (8), 3-[5-[(threo) 2,3-dihydro-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxybenzofuranyl]-propanoic acid (12), 2-[4-(3-hydroxy-1-propenyl)-2,6-dimethoxyphenoxy]-3-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)propyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (13), 4-[(erythro) 2,3-dihydro-3(hydroxymethyl)-5-(3-hydropropyl)...

42 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. , January 2009 Based on its pedigree, HoCP 00-950 (Reg. No. CV-135, PI 654823) sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), is a complex hybrid whose genomic makeup consists largely of genes contributed by S. offi cinarum L. and S. spontaneum L., with minor input from S. barberi Jeswiet and S. sinense Roxb. amend. Jeswiet. Modern sugarcane cultivars such as HoCP 00...

Sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum L., is one of the most economically important crop of Thailand. It is the main source of sucrose, and is used in sugar and alcohol production. Insect pest complex is the most important limiting factor in sugarcane production. Among the sugarcane insect pest complexes, the sugarcane moth borers complex is considered most important. Chilo infuscatellus Snellen, Ch...

Acer (maple) species and their horticultural varieties are world-famous ornamental trees with colored leaves that widely used in natural potted landscaping, as well gardening (Lin et al., 2015). Japan the United States breed most maple varieties, which hybridized or selected from A. palmatum, saccharum, rubrum, japonicum, shirasawanum, buergerianum, morifolium (Gao In recent years, China has be...

In this report we describe a methodology for rapid sugarcane shoot regeneration using meristematic tissue from in vitro-grown plantlets. Shoot regeneration from previously induced meristematic tissue, in the presence of up to 22.62 μM of 2,4-D was evaluated. The explants were transferred, after a week induction, to a propagation medium supplemented with activated charcoal and then transferred t...

Dendrochemistry has been used for the historical dating of pollution. Its reliability is questionable due primarily to the radial mobility of elements in sapwood. In the present study, the extractability of seven elements was characterized to assess their suitability for the monitoring of environmental conditions. Nine mature sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum Marsh.), a wide-ranging species in ...

Because of difficulties in directly assessing root responses of mature forest trees exposed to atmospheric pollutants, we have used the model TREGRO to analyze the effects of a 3- and a 10-year exposure to ozone (O(3)) on root dynamics of a simulated 160-year-old sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) tree. We used existing phenological, allometric, and growth data to parameterize TREGRO to produc...
