A new chromosome fluorescence banding technique combining DAPI staining with image analysis in plants.:Chromosoma. 2004 Aug;113(1):16-21. Epub 2004 Jun 9.Liu JY, She CW, Hu ZL, Xiong ZY, Liu LH, Song YC.The Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education of Plant Developmental Biology, Wuhan University, 430072, Wuhan, People's Republic of China.

In this study, a new chromosome fluorescence banding technique was developed in plants. The technique combined 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining with software analysis including three-dimensional imaging after deconvolution. Clear multiple and adjacent DAPI bands like G-bands were obtained by this technique in the tested species including Hordeum vulgare L., Oryza officinalis, Wall & Watt, Triticum aestivum L., Lilium brownii, Brown, and Vicia faba L. During mitotic metaphase, the numbers of bands for the haploid genomes of these species were about 185, 141, 309, 456 and 194, respectively. Reproducibility analysis demonstrated that banding patterns within a species were stable at the same mitotic stage and they could be used for identifying specific chromosomes and chromosome regions. The band number fluctuated: the earlier the mitotic stage, the greater the number of bands. The technique enables genes to be mapped onto specific band regions of the chromosomes by only one fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) step with no chemical banding treatments. In this study, the 45S and 5S rDNAs of some tested species were located on specific band regions of specific chromosomes and they were all positioned at the interbands with the new technique. Because no chemical banding treatment was used, the banding patterns displayed by the technique should reflect the natural conformational features of chromatin. Thus it could be expected that this technique should be suitable for all eukaryotes and would have widespread utility in chromosomal structure analysis and physical mapping of genes.

Inhibition of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) by Chinese herbal medicines..:Phytomedicine. 2003 Nov;10(8):650-6.Lin RD, Hou WC, Yen KY, Lee MH.Department of Internal Medicine, Municipal Taipei Ho-Ping Hospital, Taiwan.

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines accompaned by the release of H2O2. Two subtypes, MAO-A and MAO-B, exist on the basis of their specificities to substrates and inhibitors. The regulation of MAO-B activity is important in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Twenty-seven species of plants used in traditional Chinese medicines, selected from an enthnobotanical survey, were used in an investigation of their inhibitory effect on MAO-B in rat brain homogenates. The 50% aqueous methanol extracts of four active extracts, Arisaema amurense, Lilium brownii var. colchesteri, Lycium chinense, and Uncaria rhynchophylla, exhibited the best activity and selectivity towards MAO-B with IC50 values of 0.44, 0.29, 0.40, and 0.03 mg/ml, respectively. A kinetic study of MAO-B inhibition by the four extracts using the Lineweaver-Burk plot for each active extract revealed the IC50 concentrations, and results show that: Ki = 0.59 mg/ml for A. amurense for the mixed-type mode, Ki = 0.58 mg/ml for L. brownii var. colchesteri for the mixed-type mode, Ki = 5.01 mg/ml for L. chinense for the uncompetitive mode, and Ki = 0.02 mg/ml for U. rhynchophylla for the uncompetitive mode. These may therefore be candidates for use in delaying the progressive degeneration caused by neurological diseases.

Screening of steroidal saponins from the bulbs of Lilium brownii var. colchesteri by combination of high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and electron impact mass spectrometry.:Se Pu. 2001 Sep;19(5):403-6. Chinese.Ji HW, Ding XL, Tao GJ.School of Food Science, Wuxi University of Light Industry, Wuxi 214036, China. J.hongwu@263.net

With the combination of high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS) and electron impact mass spectrometry (EI-MS), two steroidal saponins, one compound containing three glycosyls and tigogenin and the other one containing three glycosyls and diosgenin, from the bulbs of Lilium brownii var. calchesteri in China have been screened. In the method, on-line HPLC/ESI-MS allows us to obtain rapidly useful information about the molecular weight and the glycosyl chain of glycoside without the necessity of isolating individual compounds, but little information about steroidal sapogenins. Just with 1 mg to 2 mg of pure sample, off-line EI-MS allows us to acquire useful information about a steroidal sapogenin of saponins, but it is difficult to obtain the molecular ion peak. The combination of HPLC/ESI-MS and EI-MS is well suitable for rapidly screening steroidal saponins from plants.

Studies on chemical constituents of Lilium brownii.:Yao Xue Xue Bao. 1998 Dec;33(12):923-6. Chinese.Hou X, Chen F.Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang 110015

Lilium brownii F. E. Brown var. viridulum Baker is a well-known and very important traditional Chinese medicine. It has been used as sedative, antitussive, anti-inflammatory or as a nutrient. Five compounds were isolated from the bulbs of Lilium brownii. On the basis of spectroscopic analysis (IR, FAB-MS, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, DEPT, HMQC, HMBC) and their physicochemical properties, they were identified as beta-sitosterol (I), daucosterol (II), n-butyl-beta-D-fructopyranoside (III), 26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-3 beta, 26-dihydroxy-5-cholesten-16, 22-dioxo-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (IV), 26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-3beta, 26-dihydroxy cholestan-16, 22-dioxo-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside(V). Among them, I, II and III were isolated from this plant for the first time, IV and V are new compounds.

Characterisation of some carla- and potyviruses from bulb crops in China. Brief report.:Arch Virol. 2002;147(2):419-28.Chen J, Chen JP, Adams MJ.College of Life Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, People's Republic of China.

Conserved carla- and potyvirus primers were used in RT-PCR to amplify virus fragments from garlic and other bulb crops in China and the fragments were subsequently sequenced and compared in phylogenetic analyses. Garlic plants from Henan, Hubei, Jiangsu, Shangdong and Yunnan provinces all contained at least one isolate each of Garlic latent virus (genus Carlavirus), Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV, genus Potyvirus) and Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV, genus Potyvirus). The complete sequence of a Zhejiang isolate of LYSV was also determined, providing the first complete sequence of this virus. The genome was 10142 nucleotides long excluding the poly(A) tail and had the typical features of the genus Potyvirus, although some of the amino acids surrounding the polyprotein cleavage sites were unusual. Shallot yellow stripe virus (SYSV) was amplified from bunching onion (Allium fistulosum var. caespitosum) in Zhejiang province, providing the first record of SYSV in China. Lily mottle virus was amplified from dragon-teeth lily (Lilium brownii var. viridulum).

Isolation of lilin, a novel arginine- and glutamate-rich protein with potent antifungal and mitogenic activities from lily bulbs.:Life Sci. 2002 Jan 18;70(9):1075-84.Wang H, Ng TB.Department of Microbiology, College of Biological Science, China Agricultural University, Beijing.

From the dried bulbs of the lily (Lilium brownii), a protein with strong antifungal and mitogenic activities was isolated. It also exhibited an inhibitory action on the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The protein was single-chained and possessed a molecular weight of 14.4 kDa and an N-terminal sequence distinct from chitinases and antimicrobial proteins of garlic, leek and onion which belong to a family closely related to lily. However, there was a small degree of resemblance to cyclophilins and a considerable extent of identity to the 6.5 kDa arginine/glutamate-rich polypeptide from Luffa cylindrica seeds. A nearly homogeneous preparation was obtained after the extract was fractionated on DEAE-cellulose and Affi-gel Blue gel since subsequent chromatography on Mono S and Superdex 75 both yielded a single peak.

Steroidal saponins and alkaloids from the bulbs of Lilium brownii var. colchesteri..:Chem Pharm Bull. 1990 Nov;38(11):3055-9.

The fresh bulbs of Lilium brownii var. colchesteri were found to contain five steroidal saponins: 26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylnuatigenin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), 26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosylnuatigenin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)]- beta-D-glucopyranoside (7), brownioside (8), deacylbrownioside (9) and 27-O-(3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaroyl)isonarthogenin 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)- beta-D-glucopyranoside (10); and two steroidal alkaloids: beta 1-solamargine (11) and solasodine 3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1----2)-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1----4)- beta-D-glucopyranoside (12); along with several phenolic constituents. Compounds 7, 10 and 12 are new naturally-occurring compounds.
