Abstract

The aerial parts of the Egyptian herb Cornulaca monacantha have yielded two new galloyltannin analogs (named monacanthin A and monacanthin B) characterized by protoctechuoyl moiety at C-6, and also a new flavonol glycoside, quercetin-4'-O-beta-D-galactoside. The structures of the new compounds were established by conventional analytical methods and confirmed by spectral analyses. Two known flavonoids, luteolin-7-O-rhamnoside, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, and two known gallotannins, penta-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose and 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose were also isolated.

Chromosome-scale genomes and population resequencing resolve subgenome diversity and halophyte adaptation in Salicornia.

Amid escalating water scarcity and groundwater depletion, halophytes such as Salicornia (Amaranthaceae) represent valuable models for extreme salt tolerance and hold promise for saltwater-based agriculture. Here, we show chromosome-scale genome assemblies for six Salicornia species, revealing four distinct subgenomes, reconciling our assemblies with two existing reference genomes (S. ramosissima UK and S. europaea China), correcting chromosome numbering and orientation. Comparative analyses across ploidy levels demonstrate genome expansion in North American lineages driven by Gypsy retrotransposons, and lineage-specific expansions of two gene families implicated in stress metabolism. Phylogenetic and population-structure analyses of a global resequencing panel of 318 accessions resolve interspecific relationships and establish curated germplasm collections for future crop breeding. Genetic analyses uncover a contrasting population-genetic signal on chromosome 6A between two species, highlighting an OSCA calcium-permeable channel gene as a candidate locus for osmotic adaptation. Together, these resources establish a genomic framework for Salicornia that supports evolutionary studies of halophyte adaptation and crop development.

Analytical characterization of Salicornia bigelovii seed oil cultivated in Pakistan.

Seeds of Salicornia bigelovii (hybrid variety sos-10) were collected from five coastal areas of Pakistan on the Arabian Sea. Hexane-extracted oil content was 27.2-32.0%. Results of other physical and chemical parameters of the extracted oil were as follows: iodine value, 128.0-130.5; refractive index (40 degrees C), 1.4680-1.4695; unsaponifiable matter, 1.63-2.00%; saponification value, 178.6-189.0; density (30 degrees C), 0.9036-0.9074. Tocopherols (alpha, gamma, and delta) in the oil ranged up to 200 mg/kg. The S. bigelovii seed oil was found to contain high levels of linoleic acid (74.66-79.49%) and less oleic acid (12.33-16.83%). Saturated fatty acids, palmitic and stearic acids, ranged from 7 to 8.50% and from 1.24 to 1.69%, respectively. Linolenic acid (C(18:3) omega-3) was found within the range of 1.50-2.31%. The induction period (Rancimat, 20 L/h, 120 degrees C) of the crude oil was 1.40-1.70 h. Specific extinctions at 232 and 270 nm were 1.90-2.40 and 0.40-0.62, respectively. Many parameters of S. bigelovii seed oil were quite compatible with those of safflower oil.

Cultivation of Polyporus squamosus for pectinase production in aqueous two-phase system containing sugar beet extraction waste.

Cultivation of the fungus Polyporus squamosus for pectinase production was studied in a polyethylene glycol/crude dextran aqueous two-phase system, with sugar beet extraction waste as pectin source. Fungal growth was restricted to the bottom phase and the amounts of biomass and exo-pectinase activity produced were superior to in homogeneous cultivation. The partition coefficients of endo-pectinase and exo-pectinase were 4.26 and 2.78, respectively. The top phase yields in the single extraction step were about 90% for both pectinases.
