Carthamin potassium salt isolated from Carthamus tinctorius L. was purified by an improved traditional Japanese method, without using column chromatography. The 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals of the pure product were fully assigned one- two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, while high purity deprotonation at 3′ position carthamin confirmed atomic adsorption spectroscopy nano-el...

Stearyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase (EC 1.14.99.6), present in the stroma fraction of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts, rapidly desaturated enzymatically prepared stearyl-acyl carrier protein to oleic acid. No other substrates were desaturated. In addition to stearyl-acyl carrier protein, reduced ferredoxin was an essential component of the system. The electron donor systems were ei...

Производство растительного масла является важнейшим направлением сельского хозяйства. Мировое потребление его в последние годы существенно возросло, что связано с ростом численности населения. Особый инте­рес представляют масличные растения, способные давать устойчивые урожаи засушливых условиях сухостепной зоны Западного Казахстана. Одной из таких перспективных культур может стать сафлор краси...

Catalytic activity o f the enzyme which mediates the synthesis o f carthamin was examined in the etiolated hypocotyl tissues o f Carthamus tinctorius L. The enzyme was optim ally active at pH 5.2 in citrate buffer. The activity o f the enzyme was highest in the extract from 2-day-old seedlings after sowing and it declined sharply with tissue ageing. The enzyme activity was localized in the apic...
