Fallopia multiflora (Thunb.) Harald, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant, is used in treating dizziness. In this study, the samples of F. multiflora from ten different locations were collected, and five bioactive components (2, 3, 5, 4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside, emodin, emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside, physcion and physcion-8-O-β-D-glucoside) were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography. The correlations between 17 environmental factors and 5 bioactive components were analyzed. The results showed that the highest contents of bioactive components were in samples from Deqing, and the lowest in samples from Tianyang, which indicated that the quality of F. multiflora grown in Deqing was superior, while that grown in Tianyang was inferior. Emodin content was negatively correlated with the average temperature in January (p < 0.01) and the accumulated temperature (p < 0.01). Physician content was also negatively correlated with the average temperature in January (P < 0.01), the accumulated temperature (p < 0.05) and the organic matter (p < 0.05). However, emodin was positively correlated with the soil available K (p < 0.05) and Zn (p < 0.01) . The results of stepwise regression showed that the accumulated temperature was the main factor influencing the contents of emodin and physcion. However, none of the environmental factors had significant correlation with 2, 3, 5, 4′-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside, emodin-8- O-β-D-glucoside and physcion-8-O-β-D-glucoside. In conclusion, some environmental factors have significant influence on the content of dissociated anthraquinones, while some have no influence on that of combined anthraquinones.

The Relationship

Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) is the pathogen that caused fusarium wilt diseases on the tomatoes. The rise of the symptom was caused by secondary metabolic produced by F. oxysporum. The associated with the level of secondary metabolic pathogenesis that cause symptoms of wilt on tomatoes, but secondary metabolic excreted by F. oxysporum was not necessarily wilt in a plant. The phenomenon caused F. oxysporum producing secondary metabolic in the different concentration, either its quantity or quality. The nature of physiology being tested, observed by growing 4 isolates using a medium PDA on the temperature of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 °C. The content of secondary metabolic measured on the four isolates using the Notz et al., (2002) and analyzed by using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results of the analysis of the nature of the physiological (colour colonies) were that every isolate planted for 8 days shows the variation of white, white redness, white yellowness until purpleness. Based on Methuen Handbook of Colour (Kornerup & Wanscher, 1978), generally isolates tested shows a bright colour, signaled with A letter at every code. Analysis HPLC on the results of secondary metabolic, either quantity or quality, sequentially were: isolates BAR (3; 1,997 ppm); ENR (3; 5,105 ppm); SID (4; 2,135 ppm) and MAL (5; 2,065 rpm). If it was seen by the relationship between the colour of colonies with the production of the secondary metabolic compound, it seemed that the older or darker colonies’ colour the more secondary compounds formed, but dark or old colonies’ colour does not determine a high quality of acid fusaric produced.

Deadwood quality can be a highly significant factor in determining the occurrence of deadwood-dependent organisms such as saproxylic fungi. Rare deadwood substrates that are produced only after a lengthy senescence such as kelo trees may have unique deadwood qualities. Using high-performance liquid chromatography, we compared the phenolic composition of six types of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) substrates: living mature trees with no fungal sporocarps, living mature trees with Phellinus pini sporocarps, fallen non-kelo trees, soon-to-be kelo (standing), standing kelo, and fallen kelo. The fungal-infected living trees and fallen kelos were found to have more similarities in their phenolic composition when compared with the living and fallen trees and the standing kelos, which gets further pronounced with increasing decay. The results also highlight the uniqueness of the fungal-infected living trees and the fallen kelos and illustrate a possible correlation between fungal infection and the heartwood phenolic composition of Scots pine. However, it remains unclear to what extent the differences in phenolic compositions are caused by fungal infection and fungal decomposition. We also observed a previously undocumented correlation between the phenolic groups and fire scars on the trunks of the trees. The variation in substrate quality warrants further consideration when deadwood restoration activities are planned, as the quality of the deadwood could be as equally important as the quantity.
