AbstractWild-type Arabidopsis L. leaves exposed to low ultraviolet-B (U V B ) conditions contained predominantly kaempferol glycosides, with low levels of quercetin glycosides. The flavonoid level doubled on treatment with UVB and an increase in the ratio of quercetin: kaempferol was observed. These results suggest that flavonols protect Arabidopsis plants from UVB damage, and indicate that the flavonoid 3’-hydroxylase (F3’H) enzyme, which converts dihydrokaempferol to dihydroquercetin, may play a crucial role. The tt7 mutant lacks this gene and, after treatment with sub-ambient UVB, contained kaempferol glycosides exclusively, to a level of total flavonols similar to that in wild-type Arabidopsis. Total flavonols after enhanced UVB treatment were higher in tt7 than in similarly treated wild-type plants, and only kaempferol glycosides were detected. Despite this high level, tt7 plants were less tolerant of UVB radiation than wild-type plants. These observations suggests that kaempferol is a less effective photoprotectant than quercetin. The chalcone isomerase (CHI) mutant (tt5) surprisingly did not accumulate naringenin chalcone, and this suggests that the mutation may not be restricted to the CHI gene alone. The concentration of hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives did not change with UVB treatment in most varieties indicating that their role in UV photoprotection may be subordinate to that of the flavonoids.

Abstract On damage of conifer trees, oleoresin is exuded onto the tree stem. The oleoresin is typically composed of monoterpenes and resin acids. It serves to protect the tree from dehydration and microbial attack. Callus resin, in the traditional German term “Überwallungsharz”, is a resin exuded from the callus tissue formed as the wound is closed by annual growth. These resins can usually be found as nodules or lumps on the rim of the closing wound. Both types of resin, collected from Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris, Larix decidua and Pseudotsuga menziesii, were analyzed separately by GC/GC-MS. Expectedly, the oleoresin samples were composed of resin acids. However, the callus resins were of a completely different composition as they are composed primarily of lignans and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives. In addition, the L. decidua sample contained significant amounts of abietol and abietadiene. The P. abies and L. decidua callus resins were found to be essentially resin acid-free. The components identified in the callus resin samples have previously been identified as minor components in oleoresin and bark samples. The potential for the inadvertent inclusion of callus resin in previously analyzed samples of oleoresin, bark and ingrown (dead) knots is highlighted.
