Influence Of Summer Storms On The Solution Geochemistry In A Coastal Plain Hydrosequence, Jeffrey M. Novak, C. Lee Burras Jan 1994

Influence Of Summer Storms On The Solution Geochemistry In A Coastal Plain Hydrosequence, Jeffrey M. Novak, C. Lee Burras

C. Lee Burras

An understanding of factors which influence wetland soil solution chemistry is important for soil solutions are known to influence some chemical properties of surface waters. The influence of summer storms on the solution geochemistry in a South Carolina riverine wetland soil was evaluated by comparing pore water collected 2,4 hr after five summer storm events with pore water acquired during five nonstorm periods. Pore water was collected by tension lysimeters buried at 15 to 152 cm in two locations along a hydrologic gradient. Samples of rain, throughfall and stream water were also collected. Overall, summer storms had no significant influence …


Induced Lsoflavonoids In Diverse Populations Of Astragalus Cicer, Andrew W. Lenssen, Susan S. Martin, Charley E. Townsend Jan 1994

Induced Lsoflavonoids In Diverse Populations Of Astragalus Cicer, Andrew W. Lenssen, Susan S. Martin, Charley E. Townsend

Andrew W. Lenssen

lsoflavonoids were induced in mature leaves of the legume Asbagalus cicer L. by spores of the fungus Bipoaris zeicola. The five major elicited compounds included two isoflavans (mucronulatol and astraciceran), two isoflavones (cajanin and acicerone), and a pterocarpan (maackiain). Only occasional traces of these compounds were detected in controls. Among 41 populations originating in Europe or Russia, mean total elicited isoflavonoid content differed 12-fold. Mucronulatol was the predominant compound elicited, comprising 20-70% of total isoflavonoids. Significant interpopulational differences existed for each isoflavonoid, but no geographic patterns of total or relative proportions of the five compounds were discernible.

Acicerone: An Isoflavone From Astragalus Cicer, Andrew W. Lenssen, Susan S. Martin, Charley E. Townsend, Bruce Hawkins

A new isoflavone isolated from fungus-inoculated roots of Astragalus cicer has been identified as 6-hydroxy- 7-methoxy-3’,4’-methylenedioxyisoflavone (acicerone).
