The optimization of multiple linear regression model of anthocyanins synthesis was y=4.383 86-0.205 45x1+5.479 638x2+0.195 575x4. According to standard partial regression coefficient testing,the result indicated that polyphenols content was negatively correlated with anthocyanins and the relative influence to anthocyanins synthesis was-42.7%; flavonoid content and activity of polyphenol oxidase were positively correlated with anthocyanins of purple corn and the relative influence to anthocyanins synthesis were 71.45% and 73.32% respectively. There was no positive correlation between the activity of phenylalnine ammonialyase and anthocyanins of purple corn. The establishment of multiple linear regression model of anthocyanins synthesis was to provide theory foundation of producing anthocyanins in laboratory.展开更多

Crude ethanol extract of flower from Sarapee was passed through the column chromatography in order to separate the flavonoid. The flavonoid content was about 7.97 mg/mL. Bacterial cellulose film produced by ,4cetobacter xylinum TISTR 975 in coconut juice and subsequently to application of a containing different concentration of flavonoid for 12 h and followed by freeze dry The bacterial cellulose film containing Sarapee extract using disc diffusion assay was tested for antimicrobial activity. The result showed that bacterial cellulose film containing 1.2 mg/mL of flavonoid was highly against to S. typhimurium TISTR 292 and the inhibition zone was about 31.07 mm. Investigations of the effect of coating time on incorporation of flavonoid into cellulose film showed that long coating time (12 h) had the inhibition zone closely to short coating time (8 h) with the value of 29.60-30.13 mm. Stored the bacterial cellulose film at room temperature for 7 and 14 days found that the ability to be against S. typhimurium TISTR 292 decreased after 14 days and the inhibition zone was about 22.63 mm. The percentage of ability was remaining about 75.4. This study suggests that the bacterial cellulose film has a potential for use as antimicrobial in food applications.展开更多

The influence of BAP and hydrogen ion (H+) on the level of primary (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids) and secondary (flavonoids and hydrolyzable and condensed tannins) metabolites in in vitro grown Asclepias syriaca L, were evaluated. Six different concentrations of BAP (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ~tmol/L) and three different concentrations of hydrogen ion (pH 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5) were applied to the woody plant medium (WPM) medium used for microshoots propagation. The most effective morphogenesis of Asclepias syriaca L. was observed in culture medium supplemented with 2 p, mol/L BAP. However, synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites was the most intensive when cytokinin concentration reached the value of 3 gmol/L BAP. It was determined that the activity of hydrogen ion (H+), measured as the pH of culture medium, had a significant effect on secondary metabolites in the shoots in vitro.展开更多

文摘The object of this study was to adapt in vitro system for morphogenesis and regeneration of microshoots of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.) applying different concentrations of hydrogen ion (H+) and cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The influence of BAP and hydrogen ion (H+) on the level of primary (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids) and secondary (flavonoids and hydrolyzable and condensed tannins) metabolites in in vitro grown Asclepias syriaca L, were evaluated. Six different concentrations of BAP (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ~tmol/L) and three different concentrations of hydrogen ion (pH 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5) were applied to the woody plant medium (WPM) medium used for microshoots propagation. The most effective morphogenesis of Asclepias syriaca L. was observed in culture medium supplemented with 2 p, mol/L BAP. However, synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites was the most intensive when cytokinin concentration reached the value of 3 gmol/L BAP. It was determined that the activity of hydrogen ion (H+), measured as the pH of culture medium, had a significant effect on secondary metabolites in the shoots in vitro.
