| phenylpropanoid amides of serotonin accumulate in witches' broom diseased bamboo. | aciculosporium take (ascomycota; clavicipitaceae), causes the witches' broom disease in bamboo, particularly phyllostachys bambusoides. since it was observed that endogenous indole-3-acetic acid is reduced in the twigs of the diseased bamboo, the symptoms (bushy appearance) may be induced by reduction in auxin levels. furthermore, two indolic compounds accumulated in diseased twigs, these being identified as n-p-coumaroylserotonin and n-feruloylserotonin by lc-ms, 1h nmr and 13c nmr spectroscopi ... | 2003 | 14561512 |
| effects of bambusae concretio salicea (chunchukhwang) on amyloid beta-induced cell toxicity and antioxidative enzymes in cultured rat neuronal astrocytes. | bambusae concretio salicea (bcs; plant family name: phyllostachys bambusoides siebold et zuccarinii) is a medicinal plant used in korea for the treatment of various symptoms accompanying hypertension and cerebrovascular disorders. previously, it was shown that bcs is an effective protectant against oxidative glutamate toxicity in the murine neuroblastoma cells and human neuroblastoma cells. treatment with bcs increased the secretion of the non-amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein fragment, an ... | 2005 | 15814257 |
| hypolipidemic effect of meoh extract of bambusae caulis in taeniam in hyperlipidemia induced by triton wr-1339 and high cholesterol diet in rats. | hyperlipidemia has been implicated in atherosclerosis which is the leading cause of death among world population and resulting from lipid metabolic changes is a major cause of atherosclerosis. bambusae caulis in taeniam belongs to bambusaceae is the stem of phyllostachys nigra (lodd.) munro var. henonis (bean) stapf of phyllostachys bambusoides siebold et zuccarini, the perennial evergreen tree. the green middle layer of stem is dried in string-shape i shadow after the bark had been removed. in ... | 2009 | 19267283 |
| effects of growth stage on enzymatic saccharification and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of bamboo shoots for bioethanol production. | bamboo is a fast-growing renewable biomass that is widely distributed in asia. although bamboo is recognised as a useful resource, its utilization is limited and further development is required. immature bamboo shoots harvested before branch spread were found to be a good biomass resource to achieve a high saccharification yield. the saccharification yield of the shoots increased (up to 98% for immature phyllostachys bambusoides) when xylanase was used in addition to cellulase. simultaneous sacc ... | 2009 | 19664918 |
| protective effects of the pyrolyzates derived from bamboo against neuronal damage and hematoaggregation. | bamboo species are thought to be originally from central china, but are now found in many temperate and semi-tropical regions around the world. although the extracts from bamboo may have antioxidant activities and anti-inflammatory effects, their exact biological activities have not been elucidated. | 2010 | 20117201 |
| immunomodulatory potential of a bioactive fraction from the leaves of phyllostachys bambusoides (bamboo) in balb/c mice. | in order to evaluate the role of ethyl acetate fraction (pb-etac) obtained from the phyllostachys bambusoides leaves in the modulation of immune responses, detailed studies were carried out using a panel of in vivo assays. oral administration of pb-etac (50-200 mg/kg) stimulated the igm and igg titre expressed in the form of haemagglutination antibody (ha) titre. further, it elicited a dose related increase in the delayed type hypersensitivity reaction (dth) after 24 and 48 h in balb/c mice. bes ... | 2014 | 26417248 |
| reyranella graminifolii sp. nov., isolated from bamboo (phyllostachys bambusoides) litter. | a novel strain designated wo-34(t) was isolated from bamboo (phyllostachys bambusoides) litter. cells were gram-stain-negative, non-motile, catalase-negative and oxidase-positive rods. the isolate grew aerobically at 15-35 °c (optimum 28 °c), ph 4.0-9.0 (optimum ph 7.0) and in the presence of 0-1.0% (w/v) nacl (optimum 0.1% nacl). phylogenetic analyses based on 16s rrna gene sequences indicated that strain wo-34(t) belonged to the genus reyranella with the sequence similarities of 97.9% and 97.3 ... | 2014 | 24801158 |
