Disease relevance of Asteraceae

  • Both RAST results in 32 adults with summer symptoms previously diagnosed as allergic to Artemisia pollen, and cross-reactivity studies between H. annuus and other Compositae suggested that H. annuus pollen was the main allergen involved in the hypersensitivity reaction of those patients [1].
  • Potential allergens were found among the emitted monoterpenes and their importance in airborne Compositae dermatitis is discussed [2].
  • This report also revises data from a previous publication (Kaiser, A., 1999. Cloning and expression of a cDNA encoding homospermidine synthase from Senecio vulgaris (Asteraceae) in Escherichia coli. Plant J. 19. 195 201.) that is incorrect [3].
  • A decoction of Mikania cordata (Compositae) is commonly used for the treatment of gastric ulcer in the Rajbari district of Bangladesh. We have evaluated the anti-ulcerogenic effect of the alkaloidal fraction from the whole plant of M. cordata on diclofenac sodium-induced gastrointestinal lesion in rats [4].
  • Inhibitory effects of luteolin isolated from Ixeris sonchifolia Hance on the proliferation of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells [5].

High impact information on Asteraceae

  • Irregular monoterpenes are common in Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium and related members of the Asteraceae family [7].
  • A chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction site analysis of Argyranthemum (Asteraceae: Anthemideae), the largest endemic genus of plants of any volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, was performed to examine patterns of plant evolution in Macaronesia. cpDNA data indicated that Argyranthemum is a monophyletic group that has speciated recently [8].
  • Duplication and functional divergence in the chalcone synthase gene family of Asteraceae: evolution with substrate change and catalytic simplification [9].
  • We have recently isolated from Gerbera hybrida (Asteraceae) an unusual CHS-like gene, GCHS2, which codes for an enzyme with structural and enzymatic properties as well as ontogenetic distribution distinct from both CHS and SS [9].
  • Polyphyletic origin of pyrrolizidine alkaloids within the Asteraceae. Evidence from differential tissue expression of homospermidine synthase [10].

Gene context of Asteraceae

  • Here, we present genomic DNA fragments obtained by amplification with primers of a conserved region (amino acid positions 550-1,043) between the putative P. falciparum DHS gene ( dhs) and the HSS gene ( hss) from the plant Senecio vulgaris (Asteraceae) [29].
  • Taken together, compound 1 inhibits the production of NO and PGE2 at the transcription of iNOS and COX-2 genes, and would be responsible for the anti-inflammatory activities of the Ligularia fischeri [30].
  • The n-hexane extract of Bidens campylotheca Schultz Bip. ssp campylotheca (Compositae) showed significant in vitro inhibition of cyclooxygenase (CO) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) [31].
  • (Compositae) the first intermediate in DMSP biosynthesis has been shown to be S-methylmethionine (SMM) (A.D. Hanson, J. Rivoal, L. Paquet, D.A. Gage [1994] Plant Physiol 105: 103-110) [32].
  • Diazepam (DZP) and a mixture of Chinese herbs customarily used to treat epilepsy were prepared as an aerosol under the trade name Aerosolum Diaiepami Compositae or Flvalscop (FVS) [33].
