The compounds, sarcovagine-D, alkaloid-C, and holaphylline isolated from Sarcococca saligna were found to possess immunosuppressive activities. These compounds were characterized for in vitro inhibition on human T-cells proliferation and IL-2 production. The compounds showed significant immunosuppressive effect on IL-2 production as well as on phytohemagglutinin stimulated T-cell proliferation ...

Raw and processed (soaked, soaked/boiled, roasted) wattle, Acacia saligna subspecies (subsp.) saligna, pruinescens, stolonifera and lindleyi, seeds were analysed for nutritional and antinutritional qualities. Whole wattle seeds mainly comprised proteins (27.6-32.6%) and carbohydrates (30.2-36.4%), which had approximately 12.0-14.0% fat and 13.0-15.0% crude fibre. Palmitic (9.6%), stearic (2.0%)...

The title compond, C(26)H(44)N(2)O, is an steroidal alkaloid isolated from the medicinally important plant Sarcococca saligna. The mol-ecule consists of four fused rings (A-D), having chair, half-chair, chair and envelope conformations, respectively. The dimethyl-amino group is axially oriented on ring A, whereas the (N-methyl-acetamido)-ethyl group is attached equatorially on ring D. The cryst...

we studied litterfall dynamic of tree plantations in dez river floodplain, at 14 to 15 years old. the plantations consist of populus euphratica oliv., eucalyptus camaldulensis dehnh., e. microtheca f. muell, acacia farnesiana (l.) willd., a. salicina lindl., a. saligna (labill.) h. wendl., a. stenophylla benth. and dalbergia sissoo roxb. litterfall was different between the tree species, and le...

This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance of 212 accessions of lettuce germplasm to gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea. The lettuce germplasm were composed of five species: Lactuca sativa (193 accessions), L. sativa var. longifolia (2 accessions), L. sativa var. crispa (2 accessions), L. saligna (2 accessions), and L. serriola (1 accession); majority of these originated from...
