| metabolic adaptation to prolonged anoxia in leaves of american cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon). | the indigenous north american cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon), when cultivated in specially constructed cranberry bogs, is normally flooded in winter to prevent frost injury. this protection under ice can give rise to prolonged periods of anoxia, which depending on the state of the vines and environmental conditions, can cause severe oxygen-deprivation injury. an experimental study of the tolerance of cranberry vines to controlled total anoxia reveals that mature dark-green perennating leaves ... | 2003 | 12675739 |
| a preliminary rapd-pcr analysis of cimicifuga species and other botanicals used for women's health. | traditional taxonomic methods of botanical identification that rely primarily on morphological observations cannot be used efficiently when only powdered plant materials are available. thus, our objectives were to determine if we could apply a molecular approach to: a) produce unique dna profiles that are characteristic of the species, and b) determine if the geographical area or time of collection influences these dna profiles. towards this end, random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analyses ... | 2002 | 12587700 |
| botanical medicines for the urinary tract. | four important categories of urologic herbs, their history, and modern scientific investigations regarding them are reviewed. botanical diuretics are discussed with a focus on solidago spp (goldenrod) herb, levisticum officinale (lovage) root, petroselinum crispus (parsley) fruit, and urtica dioica (stinging nettle) herb. urinary antiseptic and anti-adhesion herbs, particularly arctostaphylos uva-ursi (uva-uri) leaf, juniperus spp (juniper) leaf, and vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) fruit are r ... | 2002 | 12522584 |
| oxygen radical absorbing capacity of phenolics in blueberries, cranberries, chokeberries, and lingonberries. | the antioxidant activity of phenolics in fruits of blueberry (vaccinium corymbosum cv. sierra), cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon cv. ben lear), wild chokeberry (aronia melanocarpa), and lingonberry (vaccinium vitis-idaea cv. amberland) was determined in this study. the phenolic constituents and contents among the different berries varied considerably. anthocyanins were found to be the main components in all these berries. chlorogenic acid in blueberry, quercetin glycosides in cranberry and lingo ... | 2003 | 12517117 |
| hydrophilic carboxylic acids and iridoid glycosides in the juice of american and european cranberries (vaccinium macrocarpon and v. oxycoccos), lingonberries (v. vitis-idaea), and blueberries (v. myrtillus). | analysis of the hydrophilic fraction of cranberry juice by reversed-phase hplc using an aqua luna column with diode array or ms detection revealed the presence of quinic acid, malic acid, shikimic acid, and citric acid. for the first time, two iridoid glucosides were found in the juice. the two iridoid glucosides were shown to be monotropein and 6,7-dihydromonotropein by ms and nmr spectroscopy. a fast reversed-phase hplc method for quantification of the hydrophilic carboxylic acids was develope ... | 2002 | 12405790 |
| controlled-atmosphere effects on postharvest quality and antioxidant activity of cranberry fruits. | the effects of controlled-atmosphere (ca) storage on the firmness, respiration rate, quality, weight loss, total phenolics and flavonoids contents, and total antioxidant activities of the pilgrim and stevens cultivars of cranberries (vaccinium macrocarpon aiton) have been studied during storage in atmospheres of 2, 21, and 70% o(2) with 0, 15, and 30% co(2) (balance n(2)); and 100% n(2) at 3 degrees c. elevated co(2) concentrations decreased bruising, physiological breakdown, and decay of berrie ... | 2002 | 12358462 |
| antioxidant activities and antitumor screening of extracts from cranberry fruit (vaccinium macrocarpon). | polyphenolic compounds in cranberries have been investigated to determine their role in protection against cardiovascular disease and some cancers. extracts of whole fruit were assayed for radical-scavenging activity and tumor growth inhibition using seven tumor cell lines. selective inhibition of k562 and ht-29 cells was observed from a methanolic extract in the range of 16-125 microg/ml. radical-scavenging activity was greatest in an extract composed primarily of flavonol glycosides. seven fla ... | 2002 | 12358448 |
| separation, characterization, and quantitation of benzoic and phenolic antioxidants in american cranberry fruit by gc-ms. | a gc-ms method is reported for separation and characterization of widely different amounts of benzoic and phenolic acids as their trimethylsilyl derivatives simultaneously in cranberry. fifteen benzoic and phenolic acids (benzoic, o-hydroxybenzoic, cinnamic, m-hydroxybenzoic, p-hydroxybenzoic, p-hydroxyphenyl acetic, phthalic, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic, vanillic, o-hydroxycinnamic, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic, p-coumaric, ferulic, caffeic, and sinapic acid) were identified in cranberry fruit in their free a ... | 2002 | 12059161 |
| composition of a chemopreventive proanthocyanidin-rich fraction from cranberry fruits responsible for the inhibition of 12-o-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (tpa)-induced ornithine decarboxylase (odc) activity. | phenolics from the american cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon) were fractionated into a series of proanthocyanidins and other flavonoid compounds by vacuum chromatography on a hydrophilic, porous polyvinylic gel permeation polymer. antioxidant activity was not restricted to a particular class of components in the extract but was found in a wide range of the fractions. significant chemopreventive activity, as indicated by an ornithine decarboxylase assay, was localized in one particular proanthocy ... | 2002 | 11853481 |

| mapping leaf surface landscapes. | leaf surfaces provide the ecologically relevant landscapes to those organisms that encounter or colonize the leaf surface. leaf surface topography directly affects microhabitat availability for colonizing microbes, microhabitat quality and acceptability for insects, and the efficacy of agricultural spray applications. prior detailed mechanistic studies that examined particular fungi-plant and pollinator-plant interactions have demonstrated the importance of plant surface topography or roughness ... | 1996 | 11607676 |
| association of ethylene dibromide (edb) with mature cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon) fruit. | ethylene dibromide (edb), a potential carcinogen, has been used in gasoline mixtures to avoid the accumulation of metallic lead in engines. ethylene dibromide is present in the environment and in groundwater. previous analysis has shown that edb levels have reached up to 16 microg l-1 in the groundwater at two fuel spill plumes in the vicinity of the massachusetts military reservation (mmr) base and up to 1.69 microg l-1 in the coonamessett and quashnet rivers in cape cod, ma (u.s. air force irp ... | 2001 | 11312844 |
| antioxidant capacity in cranberry is influenced by cultivar and storage temperature. | ten cranberry (vaccinium macrocarpon aiton) cultivars were evaluated for oxygen radical absorbance capacity (orac), anthocyanins, and total phenolics contents after three months of storage at 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 degrees c. the antioxidant capacity of cranberry was affected by cultivars and storage temperatures. among the 10 cranberry cultivars used in this study, early black, crowley, and franklin had higher antioxidant capacities than the other cultivars. orac values, anthocyanins, and total p ... | 2001 | 11262058 |
| scavenging capacity of berry crops on superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and singlet oxygen. | the antioxidant activities against superoxide radicals (o(2)(*)(-)), hydrogen peroxide (h(2)o(2)), hydroxyl radicals (oh(*)), and singlet oxygen ('o(2)) was evaluated in fruit juice from different cultivars of thornless blackberries (rubus sp.), blueberries (vaccinium spp.), cranberries (vaccinium macrocarpon aiton), raspberries (rubus idaeus l. and rubus occidentalis l.), and strawberries (fragaria x ananassa duch.). among the different cultivars, juice of 'hull thornless' blackberry, 'earliglo ... | 2000 | 11087538 |
