Identification and quantification of brassinolide-related steroids in the insect gall and healthy tissues of the chestnut plant

Free and Conjugated Brassinosteroids in the Pollen and Anthers ofErythronium japonicumDecne.

“…x 20.0 em, Kieselgel 60, 230-400mesh, Merck). Elution was done stepwise with CHCI 3 (lOOml), 2% (lOOml), 4,6,8,10,12,15,20,30, and 100% MeOH in CHCI 3 (each 50 ml). Strongly active eluates with 4 and 6% MeOH in CHCl 3 were combined into fraction P-I1-a (38mg).…”

Diverse structural variations of the brassinosteroids in Phaseolus vulgaris seed.

“…The rice-lamina inclination assay was carried out using Koshihikari cultivar after Arima et al 2) Chemicals. The brassinosteroids used for reference were synthesized as already described.13 ' 14) Plant material and extraction.…”

Brassinosteroids and Monoglycerides with Brassinosteroid-like Activity in Immature Seeds ofOryza sativaandPerilla frutescensand in Cultured Cells ofNicotiana tabacum

“…It is known that the BR activity in crude extracts of chestnut tree tissues as determined by the rice lamina inclination assay was much higher than expected from the levels of endogenous BRs. 10 ) This might have been in part due to the bioactivity of co-existing monoglycerides. We have already reported the biological activities of ex-monoolein and ex-monopalmitin, and we are now examining the biological activity of various glycerides, which will be reported elsewhere.…”
