The resin glycosides from the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. LAM.).
(33/69)
Four new and two known ether-soluble resin glycosides were isolated from popular sweet potato (the roots of Ipomoea batatas L. LAM., Kokei 14 go, Convolvulaceae) in Japan. Unlike ester-type dimers, batatins I and II, obtained from other sweet potato (Ipomoea batabas var. batatas), the glycosides were tetra or pentasaccharide monomers in which the sugar moieties are partially acylated by organic acids and combine with the aglycone, jalapinolic acid, to form a macrocyclic ester.

Alkaline hydrolysis of the ether-insoluble resin glycoside (convolvulin) fraction of the roots of Ipomoea operculata (GOMES) MART. (Convolvulaceae) afforded a glycosidic acid named operculinic acid H along with isovaleric, tiglic, and exogonic (3,6:6,9-diepoxydecanoic) acids. Operculinic acid H was characterized to be 3S,12S-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid 12-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[O-beta-D-gl ucopyranosyl-(1-->3)]-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl- (1-->6)]-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence. The absolute configuration of exogonic acid determined from the alpha-methoxy-alpha-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid esters of the hydrogenolysis products revealed that exogonic acid exists as a mixture (ca. 1 : 1) of two epimers, (3S,6S,9R)- and (3S,6R,9R)-diepoxydecanoic acids.

Synchrony between flower opening and petal-color change from red to blue in morning glory, Ipomoea tricolor cv. Heavenly Blue.
(38/69)
Petal color change in morning glory Ipomoea tricolor cv. Heavenly Blue, from red to blue, during the flower-opening period is due to an unusual increase in vacuolar pH (pHv) from 6.6 to 7.7 in colored epidermal cells. We clarified that this pHv increase is involved in tonoplast-localized Na+/H+ exchanger (NHX). However, the mechanism of pHv increase and the physiological role of NHX1 in petal cells have remained obscure. In this study, synchrony of petal-color change from red to blue, pHv increase, K+ accumulation, and cell expansion growth during flower-opening period were examined with special reference to ItNHX1. We concluded that ItNHX1 exchanges K+, but not Na+, with H+ to accumulate an ionic osmoticum in the vacuole, which is then followed by cell expansion growth. This function may lead to full opening of petals with a characteristic blue color. (+info)
