Pollen mother cells of the lily (Lilium speciosum) were found to have a histone-H1-like protein (PMCP) not detected in other tissues. The PMCP appears from the late S-G(2) period of premeiosis and is present in mature pollen. PMCP and H1 were extracted from pollen mother cells with 5% perchloric acid and isolated by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The amino acid compositio...

The anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive properties of four major compounds from the flowers of Verbascum pterocalycinum var. mutense were investigated. Saponin glycosides called ilwensisaponin A and C and iridoid glycosides known as ajugol and picroside IV were isolated from the methanolic extract. A dose-related anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive response were obtained in this study at do...
