  • Patent number: 11384109
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for separating phenolic acid glucoside compounds from Diaphragma juglandis Fructus, belonging to the technical field of food. The method includes the following steps: (1) extraction: crushing Diaphragma juglandis Fructus, and then extracting by using ethanol to obtain walnut ethanol extract; and (2) separation: performing column chromatography on the walnut ethanol extract obtained in step (1), sequentially eluting by using ethanol of different concentrations, purifying and eluting repeatedly, and performing separation to obtain phenolic acid glucoside compounds. The phenolic acid glucoside compounds are 2-hydroxyl-5-methoxylphenyl-O-?-D-glucopyranoside, 6-hydroxylnaphthyl-1,2-di-O-?-D-glucopyranoside and 2,6-dihydroxynaphthyl-O-?-D-glucopyranoside.

  • Patent number: 9273321
    Abstract: The present invention provides assays and methods for efficiently testing a polynucleotide of interest for a phenotype in a root. In some embodiments, the assays and methods include regenerating green tissue that is transgenic for at least one polynucleotide of interest into one or more transgenic plantlets that have at least one transgenic root. Further provided are methods of making a root assay by contacting green tissue with a first rooting medium to produce a plantlet and a plurality of roots. Additionally provided are methods of assaying for insecticidal activity on a live root. Accordingly provided herein is a substantially contamination-free, root bioassay. Further provided are methods of identifying a promoter having activity in a root.

  • Publication number: 20120329674
    Abstract: The present invention provides for rapid and large scale evaluation of expression of, or function of, nucleotide sequences in plants. The invention comprises three specific components which provide for fast and large scale evaluation of nucleotide sequences. The first component includes delivery in either a single event a library of different engineered vectors or a single engineered vector for a single target nucleotide sequence comprising sequences the function of which is desired to be known in plant cells. Surprisingly, applicants have discovered that, the introduction of multiple vectors to plant cells predominantly results in individual transgenic plants which contain only a single transformation event. The second feature of the invention involves a highly transformable, fast cycling and/or miniature size plant and the final step involves mass scale analysis of T0 plants for various phenotypes and plasmid rescue to identify the nucleotide sequence present in a particular phenotype.
