[FTIR and classification study on trueborn tuber dioscoreae samples].

Abstract

To identify the origin of tuber dioscoreae, 45 samples were studied by soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) in this paper. The combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with mathematic method was used to classify the trueborn and non-trueborn samples. The samples were chosen randomly as modeling group and predicting group. The correctness of classification was 70%. This approach was proved to be a reliable and practicable method for trueborn quality analysis of tuber dioscoreae.

Characterization of endogenous pararetroviruses in yam (Dioscorea spp.) genomes revealed four pararetrovirus groups, including a dioscovirus-like lineage: implications for diagnostics and yam germplasm exchange.

Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are an important vegetatively propagated food security crop grown for their starchy tubers. Yams are susceptible to several viruses, and their genomes harbor a diverse array of endogenous pararetroviral sequences (EPRVs), which complicate diagnostics and germplasm exchange because of their similarity to episomal viruses. To better characterize EPRV diversity, we analyzed 86 publicly available whole-genome sequences from five Dioscorea species (D. rotundata, D. alata, D. praehensilis, D. abyssinica, and D. dumetorum). Assembled genomes were screened for endogenous pararetrovirus sequences (EPRVs) using the CAULIFINDER pipeline, targeting conserved RT/RNase H domains of the Caulimoviridae family. Our analyses revealed four major EPRV groups in D. rotundata: Yendovirus, Badnavirus, Yam Endovirus 1, and a Dioscovirus-like lineage. While most insertions were fragmented, we found full-length putative viral genomes corresponding to the Yam Badnavirus and Dioscovirus-like clades. These findings expand knowledge of yam EPRV diversity, contribute to the development of improved diagnostic tools to differentiate endogenous and episomal forms, and promote a science-based, risk-proportionate approach to yam phytosanitation that facilitates global germplasm exchange while maintaining biosecurity.

A new steroidal saponin from Dioscorea zingiberensis Wright.

Two compounds were obtained from the rhizome of Dioscorea zingiberensis Wright. One of them was elucidated as dioscin, the other one was a new compound and characterized as Spirost-5-en-3-yl beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 3)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1 --> 4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1 --> 2)]-beta-D-glucopyranoside, structure was determined on the basis 2D NMR spectroscopic technique and the result of acid hydrolysis.

[Study on hydrolysis conditions of Dioscorea nipponica with uniform design method].

OBJECTIVE: To optimize hydrolysis conditions of Dioscorea nipponica so as to provide parameters for extracting diosgenin in industry. METHODS: The optimum hydrolysis conditions were investigated using diosgenin as an index with uniform design and high performance liquid chromatography method. RESULTS: The optimum conditions were as follows: the hydrochloric acid concentration was 2.5 mol/L, solid-liquid rate was 1:5, the reaction temperature was 140 degrees C, the reaction time was 4.0 h, the mix round speed was 120 r/min. CONCLUSION: The content of diosgenin under the optimum hydrolysis conditions is raised, and the hydrochloric acid concentration should be strictly controlled because of its large influences on the results.
