Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant organic carbon source and has received a great deal of interest as renewable sustainable feedstock for production potential biofuels value-added chemicals with wide range designed catalytic systems. However, those natural polymeric materials are composed short-chain monomers (typically C6 C5 sugars) complex lignin molecules containing plenty oxygen, resulting in products during downstream processing having low-grade fuel properties or limited...
Lignocellulosic biomass is an important renewable resource that could substitute fossil feedstocks as a raw material for high value chemicals production.
Withania somnifera is one of the most valuable medicinal plants used in Ayurvedic and other indigenous medicine systems due to bioactive molecules known as withanolides. As genomic information regarding this plant very limited, little available about biosynthesis To facilitate basic understanding withanolide pathways, we performed transcriptome sequencing for leaf (101L) root (101R) which specifically synthesize withaferin A A, respectively. Pyrosequencing yielded 8,34,068 7,21,755 reads got...
Abstract A reversed‐phase HPLC method for the simultaneous analysis of nine structurally similar withanolides, namely, 27‐hydroxy withanone, 17‐hydroxy withaferin A, 17‐hydroxy‐27‐deoxy withanolide D, B, withanone and 27‐deoxywithaferin has been developed using a linear binary gradient solvent system comprising methanol water containing 0.1% acetic acid. Both photodiode array evaporative light scattering detection were used to profile extract compositions quantify withanolides therein....
summary Two lemongrasses. Cymbopogon nardus. (L.) Rendle var. confertiflorus (Steud.) Bor. and pendulus Wats, were grown under mild moderate water stress for 45 90 d. The impact of in situ drought on plants terms relative content, $pS, concentration proline, activities PEP carboxylase geraniol dehydrogenase, citral biogenesis, investigated. results revealed that the specific exhibited differential responses treatments. In general, plant growth was reduced considerably whilst level essential...
Ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera Dunal., Solanaceae) is one of the most reputed medicinal plants Ayurveda, traditional medical system. Several its traditionally proclaimed properties have been corroborated by recent molecular pharmacological investigations and shown to be associated with specific secondary metabolites known as withanolides, novel group ergostane skeletal phytosteroids named after plant. Withanolides are structurally distinct from tropane/nortropane alkaloids (usually found...
Multiple shoot cultures of two experimental lines Withania somnifera plants (RS-Selection-1 and RS-Selection-2) were established using nodal segments as explants. The hormonal combinations benzyl adenine kinetin not only influenced their morphogenetic response but also differentially modulated the level biogeneration withanolide A in vitro shoots lines. Interestingly, withanolide-A, that was hardly detectable aerial parts field-grown (explant source), accumulated considerably plant....
