Constituents of Nelumbo nucifera leaves and their antimalarial and antifungal activity [PDF]

Phytochemistry Letters, 2008
From the leaves of Nelumbo nucifera (an aquatic plant), one new compound, 24(R)-ethylcholest-6-ene-5α-ol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), along with 11 known metabolites (2-12), were isolated and identified by spectroscopic methods including 1D- and 2D NMR.

Tabernaemontana catharinensis: A Source of Indole Alkaloids With Potential Activity as Chemotherapeutic Agents

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the antitumor activity of fractions rich in indole alkaloids extracted from the leaves of the species Tabernaemontana catharinensis. The chemical composition was analyzed using high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), which identified nine known indole alkaloids, including voacangine, voacangine hydroxyindolenine,

Short Photoperiod Induces Dormancy in Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2005
Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) has been cultivated as an ornamental and food plant in Japan for more than 1000 years. As large areas are required for its cultivation (approximately 2 m2 per plant), physiological research, such as into the effect of environmental factors on dormancy, has not been well studied until recently. In this paper, seedlings were used

Environmental Filtering of Leaf Traits, Spectral and Genetic Variation in Phragmites australis: Responses and Spatial Patterns

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Intraspecific variation in plant phenotypes mediates responses to changing environmental conditions; however, a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing variation in plant species traits is still lacking in freshwaters. Here, we used Phragmites australis, a cosmopolitan foundation wetland species, to understand adaptation by plants to ...
