Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tomato is one of the most common food in the world, and it produces many nutrition sugars, and chemicals such as carotenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids and oxylipins. In this study, it was planned that isolation and structural determination of inhibitor(s) of viviparous germination and acyl sugars on the surface of plant body on tomato plant. We attempted the isolation of the inhibitor from gels containing tomato seed. The inhibitory activity was observed using the EtOH extract of gels, although isolation and structural determination of the inhibitor was not accomplished. The acyl sugars were known as important ingredients for plants to survive, although the efficient isolation method had not been established. In this study, the methodology was designed and tow acyl glucose were isolated from Solanum pennellii. Their chemical strictures were determined as 2,3,4-triisobutyryl-β-D-glucose and 2-(2-metylbutytyl)-3,4-diisobutanoyl-β-D-glucose.
