The use of furanocoumarins, which are photosensitizing compounds, combined with exposure to UV-A radiation is a common treatment for vitiligo, psoriasis, and a number of other skin diseases. Although furanocoumarins plus UV-A treatment is highly effective, several studies have shown that exposure to high doses increases the risk to development of cutaneus carcinoma. Several Dorstenia species are used in folk medicine, mainly against skin diseases, because of the presence of biologically active compounds. We present here analysis of the chemical composition of furanocoumarins from infusion and decoction of "Carapiá" (Dorstenia species), which is used in Brazil against several diseases. We have employed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) procedures for the quantitative determination of psoralen, bergapten, and isopimpinellin. The contents of furanocoumarins revealed an insignificant difference between infusion and decoction. Dorstenia tubicina and D. asaroides contained psoralen and bergapten only in the rhizomes, whereas D. vitifolia shows solely isopimpinellin in both rhizomes and aerial parts. 相似文献

Rice yield and its relation to root growth and nutrient-use efficiency under SRI and conventional cultivation: an evaluation in Madagascar 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
While plant growth and productivity are known to derive from the interaction between genetic potential (G) and environmental factors (E), efforts to improve rice production have usually proceeded assuming a standard E that is created by conventional rice-growing practices. Genotypes have been assessed for their performance in continuously
flooded paddy soils, with optimally dense plant populations, with reliance on inorganic fertilization to raise yields. The
System of Rice Intensification (SRI) developed in Madagascar and now becoming accepted in much of Asia proposes that GxE interactions can be made more productive with different management practices: optimally sparse populations, established with
very young seedlings carefully transplanted, intermittent flooding of paddies, with active soil aeration and with soil organic
matter enhanced as much as possible. This article evaluates the effects of alternative SRI cultural practices on grain yield
with particular attention to their impact on the growth and functioning of rice plant roots and on associated nutrient-use
efficiencies that could be contributing to the observed higher grain yields. On-station experiments and on-farm surveys were
conducted in Madagascar to evaluate SRI practices in comparison with standard cultural methods, considering how rice plants’
expression of their genetic potential was affected by different crop management practices. Controlling for both soil and farmer
effects, rice plants cultivated with SRI methods produced average yields more than double those from standard practice (6.26
vs. 2.63 t ha−1). The most evident phenotypic difference was in plant root growth, assessed by root-pulling resistance (RPR), a summary measure
of root system development. On average, uprooting single SRI plants required 55.2 kg of force plant−1, while pulling up clumps of three conventionally grown plants required 20.7 kg hill−1, or 6.9 kg plant−1. SRI plants thus offered 8 times more resistance per plant to uprooting. Direct measurements confirmed that SRI methods induced
both greater and deeper root growth, which could be contributing to increased nutrient uptake throughout the crop cycle, compared
with the shallower rooting and shorter duration of root functioning under continuous flooding. Rice plants grown with SRI
methods took up more macronutrients than did the roots of conventionally managed plants, which was reflected in the higher
SRI yields. When grain yield was regressed on nutrient uptake to assess nutrient-use efficiency, SRI plants achieved higher
grain yield per unit of N taken up, compared to plants grown with conventional methods. The internal efficiency (IE) of SRI
plants in utilizing macronutrients was 69.2 for N, 347.2 for P, and 69.7 for K, while the IE in plants conventionally grown
was 74.9, 291.1, and 70.4 for these three macronutrients, respectively. Although no significant differences in IE were observed
for N and K, the uptake of P was significantly greater, indicating more efficient use of P by SRI plants for grain production.
More research needs to be done on such relationships, but this study indicates that productive changes in the structure and
functioning of rice plants, particularly their roots, can be induced by alternative management methods. 相似文献
