Abstract

Continuing our work on the flavonoids of Pinus sylvestris and Pinus uncinata, further analysis of flavonoid variability leads us to suggest the existence of natural hybrids between these two species, because the flavonoid characters of some individuals are inconsistent with their morphology. The hybrids Pinus uncinata X Pinus sylvestris usually show strong affinities with one parental species, there are very few intermediate individuals. This could be a mark of introgression.

Flavonoid-enriched extract of Agave lechuguilla bagasse as a feed supplement to prevent vibriosis in Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei
2023, Aquaculture
Citation Excerpt :
The phenolic concentrations were obtained in milligrams gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per gram of dry weight (g DW), considering the moisture content at around 8%. TFC was measured with the aluminum chloride method (Lauranson-Broyer and Lebreton, 1993) adapted to a microplate, using quercetin, the most adequate standard based on raw material characteristics; prepared from 0 to 1400 μg/L (y = 0.0009 x + 0.0451, R2 = 0.9928). The flavonoid concentrations were expressed in milligrams quercetin equivalent (QE) per gram of dry weight (g DW).
The main challenge in shrimp farming is the high prevalence of diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria from the Vibrionaceae family. Natural extracts enriched with prebiotic and antibacterial compounds have been proposed as alternatives to the controversial use of antibiotics. In this study, a flavonoid-enriched extract (11.54 ± 1.81 mg QE/g DW) obtained from Agave lechuguilla bagasse was evaluated as a feed supplement at 0.0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.6% in the diet for the Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei), before and after infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain CIBGEN-003. The effect of the lechuguilla extract on the gut microbiome and vibriosis prevalence was assessed through high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes analysis, comparing the bacterial community at 0 h, 48 h, and 72 h of the challenge with the pathogenic strain. A global shift in the relative abundance was observed at phylum and class level and among the dietary treatments during the infection. In particular, an increase in the abundance of Vibrionaceae was observed. A higher survival of the shrimp fed with the lechuguilla extract was observed compared to control, and a lower vibriosis prevalence with the two highest inclusion levels, 0.3 and 0.6%. These findings were related to the differences in the microbial community, according to the inclusion level of the lechuguilla extract before the inoculation of V. parahaemolyticus. Results provide a new perspective to further understand the required structure of the gut microbiome to prevent diseases in shrimp farming. Modulation of the gut microbial community by the flavonoids, quantified in the lechuguilla extract, significantly increased the resistance of P. vanamei against V. parahaemolyticus, supporting the use of plant extracts as alternatives to traditional disease-fighting aquaculture practices.
Antioxidant activity of polyphenolic extract of monofloral honeybee-collected pollen from mesquite (Prosopis juliflora, Leguminosae)
2007, Journal of Food Composition and Analysis
The antioxidant capacity related to the phenolic composition of monospecific honeybee-collected pollen extract from the mesquite tree (Prosopis juliflora) from Durango, Mexico, was evaluated in an in vitro-biological system (as inhibitor of lipid peroxidation on mouse hepatic microsomal preparations) and in an in vivo system (on homogenized liver of bromobenzene-intoxicated mice) by quantification of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). The comparison of results obtained from these two different systems was also made. The results obtained suggest that pollen of P. juliflora is an important source of flavonoids, which can be considered as natural antioxidants. Mesquite pollen extracts showed antioxidant activity related to the flavonol concentration in both the in vitro-biological system and the in vivo system with a lower activity in the latter of these systems. Under in vivo conditions and in those in which a state of oxidation in not induced, a high concentration of flavonols in the extract of mesquite pollen can have a pro-oxidant effect.
Chemosystematic and biometric definition of the Peatbog pine Pinus x uliginosa (Neumann)
1997, Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences - Serie III
Les pins de tourbière Pinus uliginosa Neumann de Pologne et ceux de France ont une composition flavonique (faible teneur en quercétine) proche de celle des pins mugo P. mugo Turr. et à crochet P. uncinata Ram., non distinguables à cet égard. La présence minoritaire d'individus de type chimique sylvestris (forte teneur en quercétine) est cependant notable ; en outre nombreux peuvent être les individus à teneur intermédiaire, révélant un processus d'hybridation, en bon accord avec la loi de Hardy-Weinberg. La biométrie foliaire (indice d'allongement L/P) tend vers le type uncinatalmugo. Si l'on veut reconnaître au pin de tourbière la dignité spécifique, on doit admettre qu'il résulte de la persistance dans un tel biotope de croisements du pin à crochet/mugo avec le pin sylvestre (plus précisément son chimiomorphe T-, taxifoline absente), le second subordonné au premier. La comparaison est faite avec les phénomènes d'hybridation/introgression actuels donnant naissance en altitude, à partir des mêmes espèces parentales, au pin de Bouget Pinus bougeti Flous.
The flavonic profile of Peatbog pines Pinus uliginosa Neumann from Poland and France (with low quercetin content) are close to that of Mugo pine P. mugo Turr. and Mountain pine P. uncinata Ram.; in this respect, the two latter species are indistinguishable. However, the presence of some individuals of sylvestris type (with high quercetin content) is notable; moreover, trees with intermediate quercetin contents can be numerous, revealing a hybridization process in good accordance with Hardy-Weinberg's rule. Foliar morphometry (fineness index: L/P) tends toward the uncinata/mugo type. If specific status is to be conferred to Peatbog pine, it should be admitted that it results from the persistance in this biotope of past crossbreeding between Mountain/Mugo pine and Scots pine (more precisely its chemomorph T-, taxifolin absent), with the second taxon subordinated to the first. A comparison is made with current hybridization and introgression processes at high altitudes, which lead to the Bouget pine Pinus bougeti Flous from the same parent species.
