Abstract
cis-2-Methyl-6-substituted piperidin-3-ol alkaloids of the Cassia and Prosopis species are readily prepared by a combination of an aza-Achmatowicz oxidative rearrangement and dihydropyridone reduction followed by a stereoselective allylsilane addition to a N-sulfonyliminium ion. The stereochemical o...

Abstract
A 23-kDa antifungal thaumatin-like protein was isolated and purified from Cassia didymobotrya (Fres.) cell cultures for the first time. The protein was secreted in the culture medium, but it could be also isolated after elution of whole cells with a 0.5 M CaCl(2) solution. Treatment of the cells wit...

Abstract
Five cadinane sesquiterpenes derivatives were isolated by bioassay-guided fractionation from Phomopis cassiae, an endophytic fungus isolated from Cassia spectabilis. The structures of the two diastereoisomeric 3,9,12-trihydroxycalamenenes (1, 2); 3,12-dihydroxycalamenene (3); 3,12-dihydroxycadalene...

Abstract
l-Rhamnose is transformed to (-)-Cassine via a remarkable four step one pot reaction. The Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons [3 + 2]-1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction cascade is the pivotal step in this reaction sequence and makes the synthesis highly efficient.

Abstract
I (rapid exudation of organic acids under Al stress) plant buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and a pattern II (exudation of organic acids was delayed by several hours under Al stress) plant Cassia tora L. A dose-response experiment showed that the secretion of oxalate by buckwheat roots was no...

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents in hairy roots of Cassia obtusifolia. METHOD: The hairy roots of C. obtusifolia were induced with Agrobacterium rhizogenes LBA9402 from cotyledons and cultured in MSO liquid medium. The compounds were isolated by silica gel, polyamide and Sephadex LH-20...

Abstract
Electrocoagulation was used for dechlorophyllation of alcoholic extracts from five plants. The results showed that for every plant extract studied, electrocoagulation was more efficient than the classical solvent extraction method in removing plant pigments, while not affecting the important seconda...

Abstract
A new chromone named as 5,4'-dihydroxy-7-methyl 3-benzyl chromone (1) along with three known flavonoid compounds as unsubstituted flavone, kaempferol-3-o-rhamnoside and quercetin-3-o-arabinoside have been isolated from the leaves of Cassia nodosa. Their structures have been established by means of c...

Abstract
A method was developed for the determination of aflatoxin B1 in medical herbs (senna pods, botanical name Cassia angustifolia; devil's claw, botanical name Harpagophytum procumbens; and ginger roots, botanical name Zingiber officinale). The method, which was tested in a mini-collaborative study by 4...

Abstract
We investigated the effect of NO on Cassia tora L. plants exposed to aluminum (Al). Plants pre-treated for 12 h with 0.4 mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an NO donor, and subsequently exposed to 10 microM Al treatment for 24 h exhibited significantly greater root elongation as compared with the plants...

Abstract
We examined the allelochemical effects of control soil, native soil (treated soil), and leaf extracts of Phytolacca americana (pokeweed) on the germination rate and seedling growth of Cassia mimosoides var. nomame. We also studied the resulting changes in root-tip ultrastructure and peroxidase isozy...

Abstract
The ethanol extract of the roots of Cassia auriculata was studied for its nephroprotective activity in cisplatin- and gentamicin-induced renal injury in male albino rats. In the cisplatin model, the extract at doses of 300 and 600 mg/kg body wt. reduced elevated blood urea and serum creatinine and n...

We recently reported for another bromovirus, Spring beauty latent virus (SBLV). We constructed full-length cDNA clones of CYBV genomic RNAs from which infectious in vitro transcripts can be transcribed, and determined their complete nucleotide sequences. CYBV RNA3 contains the box B motif in the int...
