This study was conducted to improve productivity of Tartary buckwheat in Korea based on the comprehension of local adaptability for cultivation across the nation. Cultivation of Tartary buckwheat was ...attempted in Suwon, Chunchon, Kangneung, Yunchon, and Taean to determine local adaptability for cultivation. Plant height was highest in plants grown in Yunchon(116.3cm) and lowest in those of Suwon(89.2cm). Plants grown in Kangneung were highest in number of leaf and fresh weight of a plant.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known to be up-regulated by a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent mechanism in skin after exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) and to participate in tissue ...remodeling, leading to wrinkles and other phenotypes of photo-aging. Thus, it has been assumed that the progress of photo-aging may be decelerated by suppressing the UV-induced expression of MMPs. In this regard, plant extracts enriched with polyphenolic antioxidants are attractive materials, because they may suppress the expression of MMPs by lowering ROS levels. To examine this possibility, the extracts of twelve plants were tested for their ability to alter the UVB-induced MMP-1 expression in cultured human dermal fibroblasts. Among the tested extracts, an extract of Quercus glauca Thunberg (QG) inhibited MMP-1 expression most effectively without any noticeable cytotoxicity. In addition, its water fraction was more active than 1-buthanol and methylene chloride fractions, implicating the active constituents may be water-soluble. Rutin, one of the major water-soluble polyphenolic constituents of QG, showed an inhibitory effect against UVB-induced MMP-1 expression. Both QG extract and rutin lowered ROS levels in UVB-exposed cells, suggesting that their inhibitory effects on MMP-1 expression may be associated with the antioxidant effects of lowering intracellular ROS levels. The water-soluble constituents of QG may provide a protective effect against the UVB-induced photo-aging of human skin.
Rice-Tartary buckwheat is a form of Tartary buckwheat grown and used in place of rice in limited areas of Nepal, Bhutan, and southern China. It has a non-adhering hull that splits longitudinally in ...three, unlike other Tartary buckwheats, which have an adhering hull that is hard to remove. Information on rice-Tartary buckwheat is limited, and its suitability for crossbreeding is unclear. We reciprocally crossed Tartary and rice-Tartary buckwheats, and backcrossed rice-Tartary-type progeny and Tartary buckwheat. Hybridization using hot-water emasculation was successful, and over half of the hand-pollinated flowers set mature seeds. Segregation analyses revealed that the non-adhering hull is controlled by a single recessive gene. Fsub(2) segregates showed almost no relation between the non-adhering hull and earliness, suggesting that selection for early-maturing non-adhering-hulled plants is feasible. Progeny analysis of a cross between rice-Tartary-type plants and plants with a dark red cotyledon suggested no linkage between the two controlling loci. The rutin concentration in dehulled grain was stable after immersion in water, although that in flour rapidly decreased after the addition of water. Rice-Tartary buckwheat is suitable for crossbreeding with Tartary buckwheat, and the trait of non-adhering hull will allow the use of dehulled grain as a dietary source of rutin.

The antioxidative activity of natural plant productslacinilene A, naringin, galangin, and rutinwas examined using lipid peroxidation systems consisting of either ethyl linoleate, ethyl linolenate, ...or ethyl arachidonate plus Fenton's reagent. Inhibitory activity of plant products toward malonaldehyde (MA) formation from lipids was measured using gas chromatography. Lacinilene A, which showed the strongest antioxidative acitivity among the chemicals tested, inhibited MA formation from ethyl linolenate and ethyl arachidonate by 100% at the levels of 3.0 and 0.5 μmol, respectively. Natural flavonoid compounds naringin, galangin, and rutin exhibited appreciable antioxidative activities at doses lower than 0.125 μmol. Rutin, which exhibited the strongest activity among the three flavonoids, inhibited MA formation from ethyl arachidonate by 70% at the level of 0.125 μmol. These flavonoids exhibited only slight inhibition of MA formation at levels higher than 0.5 μmol from the ethyl esters of the three fatty acids.

The objective of this study was determined the change of rutin content in buckwheat through extrusion process. An extruded product was prepared by changing the screw speed(180, 220, 260 rpm), barrel ...temperature(80, 100, 120℃), and moisture content(15.0, 22.5, 30.0%). The rutin content was significantly influenced by screw speed and barrel temperature. It was decreased with the increase in screw speed and barrel temperature. Rutin content in buckwheat was not decreased by autoclave-heating buck-wheat, the thermal stability of rutin was confirmed.
We conducted two experiments to determine how resources influenced the intraspecific and within-plant allocation by tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum) to the soluble phenolics rutin and ...chlorogenic acid. We also measured the effect of resource availability on growth by measuring mass and other physical and cellular attributes of the plant. In the first experiment, we subjected plants to four levels of potassium nitrate fertilizer. In the second experiment, we subjected plants to high and low levels of potassium nitrate fertilizer and light. Both experiments yielded results consistent with the growth-differentiation balance hypothesis. Plants grown with low resources showed low levels of soluble phenolics and low plant mass. Plants grown with intermediate levels of resources showed high phenolic concentrations but inhibited growth. Plants grown with high resources had high growth but no increases in phenolic concentrations. The results were also consistent with the general prediction of the optimal defense hypothesis that there should be a negative relationship between growth and defense. We discuss possible adaptive explanations for the specific patterns observed. There were also consistent within-plant differences in phenolic concentrations. These differences in phenolic concentrations were large enough to have potential consequences for insect herbivores feeding on tomato plants.

The main chemoprotective polyphenolic compounds in the Vitis vinifera berries, rachis, and pedicels of 10 cultivars classified for the production of wine and growing in Southern Moravian vineyards, ...Czech Republic, were studied. The following compounds were determined in the frozen fresh berries: gallic acid (1.8-13.3 mg/kg), catechin (70.3-659.1 mg/kg), epicatechin (67.1-237.2 mg/kg), trans-resveratrol (0.1-1.5 mg/kg), and pterostilbene (in traces); in the freeze-dried rachis and pedicels: rutin (10.5-68.6 mg/kg), isoquercitrine (29.8-218.3 mg/kg), catechin (283.7-2,227 mg/kg), epicatechin (47.2-215.2 mg/kg), trans-resveratrol (2.6-37.1 mg/kg), and pterostilbene (0.01-0.13 mg/kg), respectively. The concentrations of polyphenolic compounds were different in various cultivars. The highest levels of catechin and epicatechin were found in the grapes of cv. Blauer Burgunder (3,195 mg/kg), in which the second highest content of trans-resveratrol (33.2 mg/kg) was also found.
