(Caryophyllaceae) were investigated. The column chromatography of the technological waste has allowed to isolating 2-de- soxyecdysone (1), 2-deoxyecdysterone (2), ecdysterone (3) and 22-O-β-D-glucopyranoside of 2-deoxyecdy- sone (4). Glucoside 4 was found for the first time in the plant Silene praemixta. Ecdysteroids 1, 2 prevailed in the sum. Compounds 3 and 4 were minor components of the waste products. The identification of com- pounds 1-4 was carried out by using the modern me- thods of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy: 1H, 13C, DEPT, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC, NOESY, IR spectroscopy and ESI MS.展开更多

The isolation and purification were performed by a series of chromatographic techniques including silica gel, sephadex LH-20, and reversed-phase HPLC. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of combination of mass spectrometry and 1D, 2D NMR spectroscopy, and the new compound was identified as 3-O-{β-D-galactopyranosyl-（1→2）-[β-D-xylopyranosyl- （ 1→3 ）]-β-D-glucuronopyrannosyl } -28-O- { β-D-xylopyranosyl-（ 1 →3 ）-β-D-xylopyranosyl-（ 1 α4）-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-（1→2）- [β-D-quinovopyranosyl-（1α4）]-β-D-fucopyranosyl} quillaic acid.展开更多

Deml. and Oberw.) causes a systematic infection of its host Silene dioica ( L.) Clairv., resulting in sterility and production of teliospores (dispersal propagules) in flowers. These spores are transmitted to healthy plants mainly by flower visitors. The behavioral responses of flower visitors to a variation in floral characters are not only likely to affect rates of pollen export/import, but also the rate of spore deposition and probability of disease. In a transplantation experiment, using plants from four different populations, we tested for correlation between variation in female floral morphology and patterns of spore and pollen deposition, and a resulting risk of disease. The source populations in this experiment were located on four islands in Skeppsvik archipelago in northern Sweden, and represented a gradient of disease incidence from completely healthy ( Island 1), low incidence ( Island 2) to high incidences ( Islands 3 and 4) of disease. Fifty plants from each population were transplanted to the center, of the population on Island 4. There were significant differences among the transplants in floral characters, i.e. corolla size, style length and ovule number. Plants from the non-diseased population had larger flowers and longer styles than plants from the highly diseased populations. Numbers of pollen grains and spores deposited on flowers were strongly and positively correlated. We found that plants originating from the non-diseased population captured approximately 4 times more pollen and 9 times more spores, per flower than die individuals from the resident population (Island 4, population 4). The incidences of disease among plants, from the four populations differed significantly, and was 37%, 20%, 18% and 0 for populations 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. In a survey of ten populations we found a significant negative correlation between the mean style length ( positively correlated with corolla size and ovule number) among healthy展开更多
