Elucidation of glycosylation sites of kaempferol di-O-glycosides from methanol extract of the leaves of Prunus domestica subsp. Syriaca
CONCLUSION: The abundances of [Yn 0 -H]-· , Yn 0 - and Yn 0 + product ions were of crucial importance for the determination of glycosylation patterns. The obtained results can be useful for HPLC/ESI-MS identification of rare flavonol-di-O-glycosides.PMID:33830532 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9100 (Source: Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM)

First Report on Plum Pocket Caused by Taphrina deformans in South Korea.
Authors: Oh NK, Hassan O, Chang T Abstract Plum pocket caused by the dimorphic ascomycetous fungi, Taphrina spp., results in unsightly malformations and crop loss. In 2016, Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindl.) with plum pocket symptoms were found in Gimcheon. Three isolates were collected from symptomatic P. salicina fruits and identified as Taphrina deformans based on morphological characteristics and molecular sequence analysis of including internal transcribed space (ITS) and the mitochondrial small ribosomal subunit (SSU) regions of the three isolates. Pathogenicity test on plum fruits confirmed tha...

Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 6993: Defect Classification of Green Plums Based on Deep Learning
iao Zhang The green plum is rich in amino acids, lipids, inorganic salts, vitamins, and trace elements. It has high nutritional value and medicinal value and is very popular among Chinese people. However, green plums are susceptible to collisions and pests during growth, picking, storage, and transportation, causing surface defects, affecting the quality of green plums and their products and reducing their economic value. In China, defect detection and grading of green plum products are still performed manually. Traditional manual classification has low accuracy and high cost, which is far from meeting the production n...

Molecules, Vol. 25, Pages 5094: Assessment of Insecticidal Activity of Benzylisoquinoline Alkaloids from Chilean Rhamnaceae Plants against Fruit-Fly Drosophila melanogaster and the Lepidopteran Crop Pest Cydia pomonella
cón-Enos The Chilean plants Discaria chacaye, Talguenea quinquenervia (Rhamnaceae), Peumus boldus (Monimiaceae), and Cryptocarya alba (Lauraceae) were evaluated against Codling moth: Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae), which is one of the most widespread and destructive primary pests of Prunus (plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, almonds), pear, walnuts, and chestnuts, among other. Four benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (coclaurine, laurolitsine, boldine, and pukateine) were isolated from the above mentioned plant species and evaluated re...

Pharmacological agents and natural compounds: available treatments for osteoporosis.
Authors: Martiniakova M, Babikova M, Omelka R Abstract Osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass and deterioration of bone structure leading to an increased risk of fragility fractures, represents one of the major health problems worldwide. Currently, there are numerous pharmacological products used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Anti-resorptive drugs include bisphosphonates, hormone therapy, selective estrogen-receptor modulators, calcitonin, denosumab, calcium and vitamin D supplementation. Anabolic drugs such as teriparatide, strontium ranelate, romosozumab h...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 7112: Major and Trace Elements in Moldavian Orchard Soil and Fruits: Assessment of Anthropogenic Contamination
Gheorghe Duca The correct assessment of the presence of potentially contaminating elements in soil, as well as in fruits cultivated and harvested from the same places has major importance for both the environment and human health. To address this task, in the case of the Republic of Moldova where the fruit production has a significant contribution to the gross domestic product, the mass fractions of 37 elements (Na, Mg, Al, Ca, Si, K, Mn, Fe, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Sr, Zr, Mo, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, Hf, Ta, W, Th, and U) were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis in...
