Abstract:
Three triterpenoids were isolated from the stem bark of Pyrus communis Linn. and identified as lup-20(29)-ene-3alpha, 27-diol (1), lup-20(29)-ene-3alpha-ol (2) and lup-20(29)-ene-3alpha, 28-diol (3) on the basis of spectral and chemical analysis. The Compound (1) is a novel triterpene, being reported first time by us.

02:26Defenses Against Pathogens and Herbivores
Plants present a rich source of nutrients for many organisms, making it a target for herbivores and infectious agents. Plants, though lacking a proper immune system, have developed an array of constitutive and inducible defenses to fend off these attacks.
01:26Biosynthesis of Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides such as glycogen and starch are synthesized from nucleoside diphosphate sugars, primarily uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG) and adenosine diphosphate glucose (ADPG). These activated glucose donors act as key intermediates in carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthesis. UDPG primarily involves glycogen synthesis in animals and many bacteria, while ADPG plays a fundamental role in starch synthesis in plants and certain bacteria.UDPG is formed when glucose-1-phosphate reacts with...
