Picein and piceol concentrations in Norway spruce.

Ecotoxicol. Environ. Saf. 19(3) , 301-9, (1990)

The concentrations of the glucoside picein and its aglucone piceol (4-hydroxy acetophenone) in the needles of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karsten) are considered indicators of plant stress. By use of two clones and a natural population of Norway spruce it...

Hydrolysis of a naturally occurring beta-glucoside by a broad-specificity beta-glucosidase from liver.

Biochem. J. 237(2) , 469-76, (1986)

We have isolated from guinea-pig liver a broad-specificity beta-glucosidase of unknown function that utilizes as its substrate non-physiological aryl glycosides (e.g. 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-glucopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucopyranoside). The pres...

Continuous spectrophotometric assays for beta-glucosidases acting on the plant glucosides L-picein and prunasin.

Anal. Biochem. 200(2) , 365-9, (1992)

The neutral pH optimum beta-glucosidases of mammalian liver and almonds are each capable of hydrolyzing a number of plant glucosides, including L-picein (p-hydroxyacetophenone-beta-D-glucoside) and prunasin (D-mandelonitrile-beta-D-glucoside). Taking advantag...
