lilium auratum/carbohydrate

BACKGROUND The formation and development of bulblets are crucial to the Lilium genus since these processes are closely related to carbohydrate metabolism, especially to starch and sucrose metabolism. However, little is known about the transcriptional regulation of both processes. To gain insight

The present study was to test the hypothesis that the plant growth retardants chlorocholine chloride (CCC) and paclobutrazol (PBZ) could improve the carbohydrate accumulation in lily bulbs by enhancing photosynthetic capacity and changing endogenous hormones. Plants of Lilium Oriental hybrids

BACKGROUND Aegle marmelos (commonly known as Bael, golden apple) was formerly described to have anti-hyperglycemic activity. The present study aimed to explore the possible effects, in depth, of A. marmelos extracts on carbohydrate absorption, glucose utilization, and α-amylase inhibition and

Detached pistils of Lilium longiflorum were labeled with d-glucose-U-(14)C 24 hours after anthesis and then sampled for the next 6 days to determine the appearance of label into exudate from the stylar canal and the stigmatic surface of the pistil. Results were obtained with unpollinated cv. Ace

Phytochemical investigation of the bulbs of Lilium brownii var. viridulum led to the isolation of seven new steroidal saponins (1-7), along with eight known analogues (8-15). The new steroidal saponins were identified as 27-O-[(3S)-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl 3-methylglutaroyl]isonarthogenin

Stigmatic exudate, a secretion product recovered from the upper surface of Lilium longiflorum pistils, has been examined. Over 99% of the exudate is accounted for as water, carbohydrate, and protein. Exclusive of water, 95% is a high molecular weight, protein-containing polysaccharide composed of

A quantity of labeled stigmatic exudate, collected from detached Lilium longiflorum (cv. Ace) pistils labeled with d-glucose-1-(14)C, was fractionated on Sephadex G-100 and the polysaccharide component, G-100-I, was injected into the hollow styles of unlabeled detached pistils (cv. Ace) which had

Plant somatic embryos are widely used in the fields of germplasm conservation, breeding for genetic engineering and artificial seed production. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play pivotal roles in somatic embryogenesis (SE) regulation. However, their regulatory roles during various stages of SE remain unclear.

BACKGROUND Bulbs of the ornamental flower Lilium pumilum enter a period of dormancy after flowering in spring, and require exposure to cold for a period of time in order to release dormancy. Previous studies focused mainly on anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes during dormancy release.

Lilium lancifolium is native to Northeast Asia and its bulbs have been used for medicinal treatment. Moreover, Japan has been using L. lancifolium bulbs more actively as food ingredients than Korea. Therefore, this study was to investigate the characteristics of Korean L. lancifolium bulbs, with

BACKGROUND Lilium lancifolium, a very important cold-resistant wild flower for lily cold resistance breeding, is widely distributed in southwestern and northeastern China. To gain a better understanding of the cold signaling pathway and the molecular metabolic reactions involved in the cold

The freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata, an invasive species of global significance, possesses a well-developed digestive system and diverse feeding mechanisms enabling the intake of a wide variety of food. The identification of glycosidases in adult snails would increase the understanding

Nine Lilium samples (belong to 6 different cultivars with different maturity stage) were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed of total phenolics (TP), total flavonoids (TF), total saponins (TS), total carbohydrates (TC, polysaccharides), and soluble proteins contents (SP), and the monomeric

To unveil the mechanism of the compatibility of odd-allotetraploid lily (LAAA) as female with diploid male lily, the differences of expressed unigenes in the ovaries and leaves between LAAA × AA and LAAA × LL were investigated using transcriptome analysis. The results showed the fruits of LAAA × AA

BACKGROUND Lily is an economically important plant, with leaves and bulbs consisting of overlapping scales, large ornamental flowers and a very large genome. Although it is recognized that flowers and bulb scales are modified leaves, very little is known about the genetic control and biochemical
