Isolation and characterization of an intermediate steroid metabolite in diosgenin biosynthesis in suspension cultures of Dioscorea deltoidea cells [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1984
The aglycon form of the steroidal sapogenin furost −5-ene-3 beta, 22,26-triol, 3 beta- chacotrioside 26 beta-D-glucopyranoside was isolated from cell suspension cultures of Dioscorea deltoidea and its molecular structure was determined by mass spectrometry and 1H and 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy.

New Insights Into the Phytochemical Composition and Biological Potential of Leaf Extracts From Algerian Autochthonous <i>Vitis vinifera</i> L. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Phenolic‐rich extracts from five indigenous Algerian Vitis vinifera leaf cultivars were characterized by LC–MS and evaluated for antioxidant, antidiabetic, antibacterial, and molecular docking activities. The Azorith‐fereinguel cultivar showed superior bioactivity, attributed mainly to isoquercitrin, hesperidin, and rutin.

Elicitation of diosgenin production in Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) seedlings by methyl jasmonate [PDF]

, 2015
The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), an elicitor of plant defense mechanisms, on the biosynthesis of diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, were investigated in six fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) varieties (Gujarat Methi-2, Kasuri-1, Kasuri-2, Pusa ...

Table_1_Melatonin confers fenugreek tolerance to salinity stress by stimulating the biosynthesis processes of enzymatic, non-enzymatic antioxidants, and diosgenin content.docx

, 2022
Salinity-induced stress is widely considered a main plant-growth-limiting factor. The positive effects of melatonin in modulating abiotic stresses have led this hormone to be referred to as a growth regulator in plants.
