labdanes and isopimaranes from platycladus orientalis and their effects on erythrocyte membrane and on plasmodium falciparum growth in the erythrocyte host cells.six labdanes (1-6) and four isopimaranes (7-10), including three new natural products (7, 9, and 10), were isolated from platycladus orientalis, and their structures determined using 1d and 2d nmr methods, ion-cyclotron resonance hrms, and optical rotation data. relative configurations of all chiral centers in the isopimaranes were determined using noesy experiments at 600 and 800 mhz. specific optical rotation data were used to correlate absolute configurations. compounds 1-9 and aframodial (11 ...200415104493
[distribution patterns of root systems of main planting tree species in weibei loess plateau].the vertical patterns of root systems of pinus tabulaeformis, robinia pseudoacacia, platycladus orientalis, pinus sylvestris var. mongolica, pinus armandi, prunus armeniacia var. ansu planted in the weibei loess plateau were studied with soil auger. site conditions had a significant effect on the vertical root distribution of r. pseudoacacia, of which, soil moisture is the key factor. soil species and soil structure also had great effect on the distribution. p. tabulaeformis had a maximum rootin ...200011766584
dietary juniperis virginiensis seed oil decreased pentobarbital-associated mortalities among dba/1 mice treated with collagen-adjuvant emulsions.the propensity of the fatty acid 5,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid (5,11,14-eta) to replace arachidonic acid in cell membranes, and its inability to be converted to bioactive eicosanoids, suggest that it may be useful in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. previously, dietary application of oils extracted from 5,11,14-eta-rich platycladus orientalis delayed the onset of autoimmune disease in new zealand black mice. to gain more knowledge of the efficacy of this fatty acid toward alleviating immunol ...19968816989
dietary platycladus orientalis seed oil suppresses anti-erythrocyte autoantibodies and prolongs survival of nzb mice.dietary fish oils rich in 20:5(5,8,11,14,17) and 22:6(4,7,10,13,16,19) are known to replace arachidonic acid [20:4(5,8,11,14)] and to improve the immunopathology of new zealand mice. however, in humans, similar dietary strategies may be impractical because of the high levels of fish oils required. in contrast, we believe that beneficial effects in humans may be attainable using new exotic fatty acids. toward this end, we have focused on 5,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid [5,11,14-eta, 20:3(5,11,14)]. t ...19948200132

cytokinin-producing, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria that confer resistance to drought stress in platycladus orientalis container seedlings.one of the proposed mechanisms through which plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) enhance plant growth is the production of plant growth regulators, especially cytokinin. however, little information is available regarding cytokinin-producing pgpr inoculation on growth and water stress consistence of forest container seedlings under drought condition. this study determined the effects of bacillus subtilis on hormone concentration, drought resistance, and plant growth under water-stressed c ...201323982328
geographic locality and host identity shape fungal endophyte communities in cupressaceous trees.understanding how fungal endophyte communities differ in abundance, diversity, taxonomic composition, and host affinity over the geographic ranges of their hosts is key to understanding the ecology and evolutionary context of endophyte-plant associations. we examined endophytes associated with healthy photosynthetic tissues of three closely related tree species in the cupressaceae (coniferales): two native species within their natural ranges [juniperus virginiana in a mesic semideciduous forest, ...200818308531
