Abstract

Influence of the aleanolic acid glycosides from Silphium perfoliatum L. (silphioside B, C, E and G) and their progenins on the amylase activity and total protein content in wheat seedlings was studied. Treatment of the Triticum aestivum L. seeds with 1–10 μM water solutions of mono- and diglycosides (mono- and bisdesmosines) elevated the α-amylase and total amylase activities in seedlings. Silphioside E containing three glucose moieties in its molecule did not change α-amylase activity, but it did if bis-triglycoside acetylated carbohydrate (as in silphioside C). Effects of 5–10 μM solutions of the active glycosides was comparable with that of exogenous gibberellin A3 and 6-benzylaminopurine.
