Obesity is a major risk factor for a number of serious diseases. Decreasing dietary fat absorption, through inhibition of pancreatic lipase activity, has been reported to be one of the most effective ways for managing obesity. The present study was aimed at investigating lipase inhibitors from edible plants. A lipase inhibitor was isolated from n-hexane and ethyl acetate extracts of the ripe fruits of Solanum stramonifolium Jacq. by column chromatography and identified by spectral analysis. Its structure was elucidated as (22R)-3β-benzoyloxy-22-hydroxy-4α-methyl-5α-stigmast-7-en-6-one or carpesterol (1). Carpesterol exhibited moderate lipase inhibition activity with IC50 value of 56.0 μg/mL while orlistat, a well- know pancreatic lipase inhibitor, had IC50 value of 3.5 ng/mL. Moreover, the kinetic properties of carpesterol on pancreatic lipase were evaluated. Carpesterol is a competitive inhibitor and exhibited antagonistic interaction when combined with orlistat on lipase inhibition activity.展开更多

In this experiment, the D. viscosa seeds were treated at 40, 60, 80 and 100℃ respectively before germination to study impacts of high temperature treatment on their generation rate and to further discuss the roles of fire during the process of vegetation formation in dry and hot valley areas of China. The results show that when the temperature was higher than 40 ℃, the germination rate of D. viscosa seeds was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the heat shock effect was apparent. The germination rate was the highest when the seeds were treated at 80 ℃ for 10 min, reaching 63.00%±2.55%. There was still a significant heat shock effect on the D. viscosa seeds which were stored for one year. In comparison with the conventional method of soaking seeds in hot water, the germination rate of D. viscose seeds which were treated at high temperature before germination increased significantly.展开更多

The thickness, the water and the oil contents of its tissues are evaluated every two weeks, from pollination to the maturity of the fruit. The development of the oil palm fruit takes 5.5 months. The endocarp reaches its maximum thickness at the 70th DPP （day post-pollination）, with a water content of 72%. It then starts its dehydration, while sclerifying. It therefore isolates the seed at start and later protects it. The mesocarp is visible at anthesis and its water content is close to 92%. From the 100th DPP, it begins a continuous dehydration associated, from the 130th DPP, with an active lipids biosynthesis. Ultimately, the pericarp of the oil palm fruit fulfills both functions, namely to protect the seed by early sclerification of the endocarp and ensure the dissemination of the species by the high oil content of the mesocarp. A comparative anatomy of the pericarp tissues of the three genotypes.of E. guineensis Jacq., during the first three weeks of fruit development, will enhance the understanding of the primary effect of sh gene.展开更多

Diseases, together with their typical symptoms on R. chinensis in China, are presented in this review. Ten fungal, one bacterial, one viral and one physiological disease are noted in this study respec- tively. Two newly recorded diseases, rose leaf spot caused by ChaetomeUa raphigera and rose leaf blotch caused by Pestalotiopsis clavispom, are also described and illustrated. With the warming climate, the geographic distribution of rose diseases may expand and the losses cause by rose diseases are becoming more serious. Therefore, we must strengthen researches on host-pathogen-changing climate and pay more attentions on adapted management measures as well.展开更多

Its cDNA has a total length of 1 038 bp, and was speculated to code 345 amino acids, comprising an complete open reading frame. The isoelectric point is 8.57, and the molecular weight is 38.2 KD. The protein is a neutral hydrophobin without transmentbrane structure. There are two MYBDNA domains at the N terminal. The fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that CcMYB gene was expressed in all the root, stem, leaf, flower, placenta and fruit tissue of pepper, and the expression level was the highest in fruit ; and CcMYB was expressed in fruit at the highest level at turning stage, and at the second highest level at expansion stage, which accords with the expression profile of punl gene in fruit development period. It is speculated that CcMYB gene plays an important role in the regulation of capsaicine synthesis in C. chinense fruit.展开更多

Fresh fruit bunch weight （FFB）, kernel to fruit （K/F） and kemel to bunch （K/B） ratios showed significant variance, while bunch number （BN）, kernel yield （KY） and oil yield （OY） showed little variance. Positive significant correlation between these traits and yield was appreciated through PCA, where 90.55% of the variation was explained by the first three principal components. Progeny grouping was performed and revealed three clusters of oil palm progenies. Cluster I contained progenies with high production of FFB, BN, OY and KY, while low height increment （HI） of palm trees was found in cluster II. However, most of progenies with high mean values of bunch spikelet weight （SpW）, average fruit weight （AFW）, K/F and K/B were grouped in cluster III. This grouping could help oil palm breeders to identify progenies with the traits of interest for breeding and commercial seed production.展开更多

In this context, it seems appropriate to better describe the effects of the Sh gene in the developing fruit. This study aims to set a benchmark for the development of the seed in the natural palm （Elaeis guineensis var. dura） Thus the growth and development of the two major seed tissues were monitored every two weeks from pollination to maturity of the fruit. The results show that the endosperm is still liquid six weeks after pollination. It then begins an accelerated development which leads it, 11 weeks later, to completely fill the seed cavity, with an average mass of 0.81 g. This mass remains stable until the maturity of the fruit. The embryo is only visible when the endosperm is gelatinous, around 70 DPP （days post-pollination）. It then has an average length of 1.00 mm. At 126 DPP, the embryo has finished growing and measures 2.82 mm on average. This length also remains stable until 168 DPP （3.04 mm）. In perspective, a detailed follow-up of the development of the zygote from the pollination to 100 DPP is proposed. In parallel, the analysis of the chemical composition of the endosperm between 100 DPP and 168 DPP is necessary. These two complementary studies will allow to better specifying the benchmark of seed development in Elaeis guineensis var. dura.展开更多

A.DC.).Methods:Forty-five healthy female Balb/c mice were divided randomly into normal,model and platycodon root groups.The BA model was replicated by complex sensitization and stimulation with ovalbumin (OVA).Changes in airway resistance were detected using an AniRes2005 system,and 24-hour urine output collected by metabolic cages.Histopathologic changes in the lung and kidney were observed by H&rE staining.Expression of the mRNA of AQP1 and AQP2 was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction,immunohistochemistry,and immunofluorescence.Results:Compared with the normal group,airway resistance in the inspiratory phase intensified in the model group (P <.01).Following the pathologic changes in lung tissue,but no significant change in kidney tissue,24-hour urinary output decreased significantly (P <.05),and levels of AQP1,AQP2 and their mRNA increased significantly in the model group (P <.01).Compared with the model group,airway resistance in the inspiratory phase was weakened(P <.01).The urinary output increased (P <.05),pathologic changes in lung tissues decreased,and renal expression of AQP1,AQP2 and their mRNA decreased significantly (P <.01) in the platycodon root group.Conclusion:Changes in respiratory function in BA model mice can affect how the lung regulates water pathways.Platycodon root diffusing the lung can ameliorate the respiratoryfunction and pathologic changes in the lung tissues of BA model mice,but also regulate urinary output and renal expression of AQP1 and AQP2.展开更多
