(<i>aS</i>)-Glucosciadopitysin, a New Biflavonoid Glycoside from the Leaves of <i>Ginkgo biloba</i> and Osteogenic Activity of Bioflavonoids by Se Yun Jeong, Kwang Ho Lee, Seon Hee Kim, Min Hye Yang, Gakyung Lee, Ki Hyun Kim

“…The structure of the new compound <b>1</b> was elucidated by the spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR analysis, as well as HR-ESIMS. The absolute configuration of sugar moiety was established through acid hydrolysis, followed by chemical derivatization reaction and the axial chirality arising from the biaryl system with substituents was determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. …”

Resistance to causal agents of late blight and golden potato nematode of the modern cultivars of seed potatoes and their phytosanitary status in various agroclimatic zones of the E... by A. V. Khiutti, D. A. Rybakov, T. A. Gavrilenko, O. S. Afanasenko

“…Resistant to G. rostochiensis were 38 cultivars. 57R marker of the H1 gene conferring resistance to the Ro1 pathotype of G. rostochiensis was detected in 96.6 % of the nematode resistant cultivars studied; susceptible varieties did not possess this marker. Absolute resistance to the causative agent of late blight was demonstrated by the cultivars Alouette and Sarpo Mira (score 9); high levels of resistance (score 6 and 7) were determined for the cultivars Evolution, Red Fantasy and Ricarda. …”
