Abstract

A 60 year-old female patient had worked for decades in a plant nursery helping to grow chrysanthemums and sell them around All Saints' Day. During the past several years she had suffered from eczema of the hands that became worse from season to season, and finally became generalized and persisted. Epicutaneous skin testing revealed a strong reaction to chrysanthemums and, in addition, cross-reactivity to several species of the compositae family. Due to these cross-reactivities, a switch to other garden work was impossible. Avoidance of all contact with flowers led to resolution of the patient's skin problems.

Triterpenoids from pyrethrum tatsienense.

Two novel and eight known triterpenoids were isolated from alcoholic extract of the whole plant of Pyrethrum tatsienense. The structures of new compounds were elucidated as olean-12-en-3beta,11alpha,16beta-triol-3-O-palmitate (1), ursa-12-en-3beta,11beta,16beta-triol-3-O-palmitate (2) by spectroscopic methods including intensive 2D NMR techniques (H1-H1 COSY, gHMQC, gHMBC) and FAB-MS, and the known compounds were identified on the basis of comparing their NMR data with those of corresponding compounds in the literature.

Xylem hydraulic conductivity related to conduit dimensions along chrysanthemum stems.

The stem xylem conduit dimensions and hydraulic conductivity of chrysanthemum plants (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Tzvelev cv. Cassa) were analysed and quantified. Simple exponential relations describe conduit length distribution, height dependency of conduit length distribution, and height dependency of stem hydraulic conductivity. These mathematical descriptions can be used to model the xylem water transport system. Within a chrysanthemum stem of 1.0 m, the conduit half-length (the length within which 50% of the conduits have their end) was 0.029 m at soil surface and decreased by half at a height of 0.6 m. With each 0.34 m increase in height up the stem, the hydraulic conductivity decreased by 50%. The resistance calculated from conduit lumen characteristics was 70% of the measured resistance. The remaining unexplained part of the hydraulic resistance is at least partly caused by inter-conduit connections.
