Abstract

Two unusual aromatic diglycosides with galloyl substitution, 4''-O-galloyl-violutoside and 4''-O-galloyl-benzyl-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, were isolated from the aerial portion of Cladogynos orientalis along with isovitexin, apigenin 6-C-(2''-O-galloyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, apigenin 8-C-(2''-O-galloyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, syringic acid beta-D-glucopyranoside, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside, (6S,9R)-roseoside, and violutioside. The structural elucidations were based on analyses of chemical and spectroscopic data by including 1D and 2D NMR analyses.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence and phylogenetic position of Mallotus apelta.

Mallotus apelta is a perennial species of Euphorbiaceae widely distributed in subtropical East and Southeast Asia. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed its complete chloroplast genome. The genome was 164,055 bp in length and exhibited a typical quadripartite structure, comprising an LSC region of 88,899 bp, an SSC region of 18,494 bp, and two IR regions of 28,331 bp each. A total of 124 genes were annotated. Comparative analyses revealed conserved genome organization and IR boundaries among Mallotus species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that M. apelta was closely related to M. paniculatus, providing valuable resources for Mallotus phylogenetic studies.

Pentacyclic triterpenes with selective bioactivity from Sebastiania adenophora leaves, Euphorbiaceae.

Six known pentacyclic triterpenes possessing oleanane, lupane, or taraxerane-type skeletons were isolated from the leaves of Sebastiania adenophora (Euphorbiaceae) and are reported for the first time in this species. These compounds include 3-epi-beta-amyrin, beta-amyrinone, 3-epi-lupeol, lupenone, taraxerol, and taraxerone. Structures were elucidated by comparison with literature data. The bioactivities of these compounds were tested on the root growth of Amaranthus hypochondriacus, amaranth (Amaranthaceae), Lycopersicon esculentum, tomato (Solanaceae), and Echinochloa crus-galli, barnyard grass (Poaceae). All six triterpenes were selectively bioactive. An important stimulatory effect was observed on amaranth root growth (23% to 56%) for almost all tested triterpenes (250 microg/ml). These triterpenes significantly inhibited the root growth of barnyard grass (28% to 78%) and tomato (23% to 49%). Aqueous leachate and organic extracts of S. adenophora leaves significantly inhibited the root growth of all test species. The possible ecological role of the allelochemicals isolated is discussed.

Comparison of the physiology, morphology, and leaf demography of tropical saplings with different crown shapes.

Branch architecture, leaf photosynthetic traits, and leaf demography were investigated in saplings of two woody species, Homolanthus caloneurus and Macaranga rostulata, co-occurring in the understory of a tropical mountain forest. M. rostulata saplings have cylindrical crowns, whereas H. caloneurus saplings have flat crowns. Saplings of the two species were found not to differ in area-based photosynthetic traits and in average light conditions in the understory of the studied site, but they do differ in internode length, leaf emergence rate, leaf lifespan, and total leaf area. Displayed leaf area of H. caloneurus saplings, which have the more rapid leaf emergence, was smaller than that of M. rostulata saplings, which have a longer leaf lifespan and larger total leaf area, although M. rostulata saplings showed a higher degree of leaf overlap. Short leaf lifespan and consequent small total leaf area would be linked to leaf overlap avoidance in the densely packed flat H. caloneurus crown. In contrast, M. rostulata saplings maintained a large total leaf area by producing leaves with a long leaf lifespan. In these understory saplings with a different crown architecture, we observed two contrasting adaptation strategies to shade which are achieved by adjusting a suite of morphological and leaf demographic characters. Each understory species has a suite of morphological traits and leaf demography specific to its architecture, thus attaining leaf overlap avoidance or large total leaf area.
