Jinye and A. fruticosa as the research objects, the relative conductivity, MDA content, soluble sugar content, solu- ble protein content and proline content in leaf were determined during natural drop in temperature, and the SOD, POD and COD activity in leaf were determined under artificial low temperature to explore the adaptability of A. fruticosa L. cv. Jinye to low temperature. The results showed that with the decrease in natural temperature, the content of MDA in A. fruticosa L. cv. Jinye was lower than that in the control, and the contents of osmotic adjustment substances (soluble sugar, soluble protein and proline) increased, indicating that A. fruticosa L. cv. Jinye had a stronger toler- ance to low temperature compared with A. fruticosa. The activity of SOD, POD and CAT in A. fruticosa L. cv. Jinye increased continuously, higher than that in the con- trol, indicating that the resisting ability of A. fruticosa L. cv. Jinye against low tem- perature was superior to that of the control. There was no significant difference in relative conductivity between A. fruticosa L. cv. Jinye and A. fruticosa.展开更多

Soil moisture and light intensity influenced the ecophysiological characteristics of Amorpha fruticosa seedlings. Soil moisture resulted in the decreases of growth rate, individual size, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, leaf water loss rate (WLR), and biomass accumulation of plant parts, and led to increased leaf water saturation deficit (WSD). Under water stress, more photosynthetic products were allocated to root growth. With decreasing light intensity, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, chla/b, water saturation deficit, water use efficiency, water loss rate and biomass accumulation declined, while Chla, Chlb, Chla+b and carotenoids (Car) increased and more photosynthetic products were allocated to stem and leaf growth. Maximum growth vigor, net photosynthetic rate and total biomass accumulation in Amorpha fruticosa seedlings was recorded at 75 80% soil water-holding capacity and 100% light density in greenhouse environments.展开更多

We designed 5′RACE primers based on 4CLA1 fragment which obtained from degenerate PCR. Inverse PCR and nested PCR enabled cloning of the remainder fragments of the gene included 5′ and 3′ end sequence. The ORF encodes a polypeptide of 540 amino acids. The predicted amino acid sequence exhibits significant homology with those of other cloned 4CL genes, contain domains typical of predicted 4CL proteins, in particular a postulated AMP binding site, catalytic domain, and conserved Cys residues.展开更多

An Amorpha fruticosa cDNA clone encoding UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGP), a key enzyme producing UDP glucose in the synthesis of sucrose and cellulose, is cloned by using this method. We design 5’ RACE primers based on UGPA1 fragment, which obtains from degenerate PCR. Inverse PCR and nested PCR enable cloning of the remainder 5’ and 3’ end fragments of the gene. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibits significant homology with the other UGP genes cloned. This method is more simple and inexpensive than screening cDNA library, and can be easily adapted to clone other genes.展开更多
A new isoflavone was obstained from the medicinal herb Amorpha fruticosa. It was elucidated asbenzopyran- 12-one, 1,4,10,11 - tetrahydro-6′-[8′-(hydroxymethy1)etheny1]-2,3-dimethoxy-8′-O-β-glucopyranosy1-O-α-D-...A new isoflavone was obstained from the medicinal herb Amorpha fruticosa. It was elucidated asbenzopyran- 12-one, 1,4,10,11 - tetrahydro-6′-[8′-(hydroxymethy1)etheny1]-2,3-dimethoxy-8′-O-β-glucopyranosy1-O-α-D-arabinoside by spectroscopic methods including UV, IR, 1D NMR and 2D NMR techniques. And the activity against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity of this compound was also studied, and found this compound can protect liver obviously from hepatotoxicity induced by acetaminophen (AAP). ?2009 Ting Guo Kang.
