Food science & nutrition

Wang MY, Peng L, Jensen CJ, Deng S, West BJ.
PMID: 24804023
Food Sci Nutr. 2013 Mar;1(2):141-9. doi: 10.1002/fsn3.21. Epub 2013 Jan 07.

Food plants provide important phytochemicals which help improve or maintain health through various biological activities, including antioxidant effects. Cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress leads to the formation of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) and their decomposition product malondialdehyde (MDA), both of which...

BACKGROUND: Veronica ciliata Fisch., widely distributed in western China, has been traditionally used in Tibetan Medicine as a treatment for hepatitis, cholecystitis, rheumatism, and urticaria. However, V. ciliata Fisch. has not been subjected to detailed chemical constitution analysis and...

Enzymatic activation of oleuropein: a protein crosslinker used as a chemical defense in the privet tree.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Konno K, Hirayama C, Yasui H, Nakamura M.
PMID: 10430912
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1999 Aug 03;96(16):9159-64. doi: 10.1073/pnas.96.16.9159.

Leaves of the privet tree, Ligustrum obtusifolium, contain a large amount of oleuropein, a phenolic secoiridoid glycoside, which is stably kept in a compartment separate from activating enzymes. When the leaf tissue is destroyed by herbivores, enzymes localized in...

The effects of enriched carbon dioxide atmospheres on plant--insect herbivore interactions.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Fajer ED, Bowers MD, Bazzaz FA.
PMID: 17799901
Science. 1989 Mar 03;243(4895):1198-200. doi: 10.1126/science.243.4895.1198.

Little is known about the effects of enriched CO(2) atmospheres, which may exist in the next century, on natural plant-insect herbivore interactions. Larvae of a specialist insect herbivore, Junonia coenia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), were reared on one of its host...

Early ontogenetic patterns in chemical defense in Plantago (Plantaginaceae): genetic variation and trade-offs.

American journal of botany

Barton KE.
PMID: 21642208
Am J Bot. 2007 Jan;94(1):56-66. doi: 10.3732/ajb.94.1.56.

Predictions based on the plant age and growth-differentiation balance hypotheses of defense were tested in two congeneric species, Plantago lanceolata and P. major, by quantifying iridoid glycosides, defensive chemicals, in seeds and leaves during the first 6 wk of...

Fate of iridoid glycosides in different life stages of the Buckeye,Junonia coenia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae).

Journal of chemical ecology

Bowers MD, Collinge SK.
PMID: 24254085
J Chem Ecol. 1992 Jun;18(6):817-31. doi: 10.1007/BF00988322.

The buckeye butterfly,Junonia coenia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae), specializes on plants that contain iridoid glycosides. To determine the fate of these compounds in larvae, pupae, and adults of this species, we reared larvae on artificial diets with and without iridoid glycosides,...

Effects of genotype, habitat, and seasonal variation on iridoid glycoside content of Plantago lanceolata (Plantaginaceae) and the implications for insect herbivores.

Oecologia

Deane Bowers M, Collinge SK, Gamble SE, Schmitt J.
PMID: 28313457
Oecologia. 1992 Aug;91(2):201-207. doi: 10.1007/BF00317784.

We investigated the effects of genotype, habitat, and seasonal variation on production of the iridoid glycosides, aucubin and catalpol, in leaves of the common weed Plantago lanceolata. Two genotypes, one each from a lawn and an adjacent abandoned hayfield...
