A new heterocyclic compound from Cyathula officinalis Kuan

A new heterocyclic compound,named 5,5 -diisobutoxy-2,2 -bifuran(1),and four known compounds(2-5) were isolated from the roots of Cyathula officinalis Kuan.Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.Among these compounds,5,5 - dibutoxy-2,2 -bifuran(2) was isolated for the first time from this plant.

Structural Features of Fructans from the Root of Cyathula officinalis Kuan

Three fructans (CoPS1, CoPS2 and CoPS3) vrere isolated from the root of Cyathula officinalis Kuan, a traditional Chinese medicine. The structures of the fructans were determined by methylation, reductive-cleavage method combined with GC-MS analysis, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. These results show that the fructans (CoPS1, CoPS2 and CoPS3) are graminan type fructans, and comprised of (2→1)- and (2→6)-linked β-D-fructofuranosyl backbone residues containing high branches.

播种深度与土壤水分含量对川牛膝出苗率及幼苗生长的影响

分析不同播种深度与土壤水分含量对川牛膝(Cyathula officinalis Kuan)种子出苗率及幼苗生长的影响,探寻适宜的播种深度与苗床土壤水分含量。通过盆栽试验,设置不同的播种深度与土壤水分含量处理,通过称重进行补水,测定发芽势、出苗率及幼苗生长与生理指标。结果表明,播种深度与土壤水分含量对种子出苗率及幼苗生长有显著影响。播种深度为0.31~0.61 cm时,种子发芽势与出苗率较高;播种深度为0.61~0.92 cm时,幼苗叶片叶绿素含量高,抗逆性较好;土壤水分含量为60.71%时,种子发芽势与出苗率较高;土壤水分含量为53.35%~60.71%时,幼苗长势较旺;土壤水分含量为38.62%~53.35%时,幼苗抗逆性较好;土壤水分含量为45.98%~53.35%时,幼苗叶片叶绿素含量较高。川牛膝种子适宜播种深度为0.61 cm,播种后土壤水分含量保持在60.71%左右,可以获得较高出苗率,出苗较整齐;出苗后,土壤水分含量保持在53.35%左右,幼苗长势旺盛,叶片叶绿素含量高,抗逆性好。
