Potato Solatium tuberosum

Because of their marked importance in human nutrition, the analytical techniques employed for the separation of biologically active compounds in potatoes (Solatium tuberosum), tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum) and jimson weed (Datura stramonium) seeds have been reviewed before [260],... 

Gibberellin A3 has been shown to shorten the rest period of certain trees, shrubs, and seeds (5,7,10), and is the only substance known to stimulate elongation of resting epicotyls of tree peony (Paeonia stiffruticosa Haw.) seedlings (I). In the tubers of the potato (Solatium tuberosum L.), the rest period lasts from the time of tuber enlargement to 5 to 17 weeks after harvest, depending upon age,...

Starch is not infrequently mentioned as an addition to paint, either as an adulterant or extender, or as a substrate for dyestuffs. It can be derived from various plant sources such as wheat (Triticum aestivum and T. durum), potato Solatium tuberosum) and rice (Oryza sativa). The so-called Paduan MS Ricetteper Far Ogni Sorte di Colore (late sixteenth or early seventeenth century/cf. and tr. Merrifield, 1849) describes the use of flour as a lake substrate 98. To make fine lake Take lime water in which brazil wood has been infused, and add it to the flour, so that it may become thick, and when the whole is well mixed, let the flour sink to the bottom, make it into a small loaf, dry it in an oven not too hot, then grind it up, and with lime water, make it into pellets, and let them dry in the shade. Carlyle (2001) found various mentions of starch used not directly as a pigment, but to gelatinise oil paint for example, she notes Field s comments that Indeed starch, as prepared by the laundress, has been lately recommended with high encomiums for this purpose (Field, 1841/cf. Carlyle, 2001). Bachhoffner, writing around that...

C. is isolated technically e.g. from the fruits of Artocarpus integri-folius, the poison nut (Strychnos nux-vomica), leaves of the potato plant (Solatium tuberosum), and the latex of Euphorbiaceae. It is present, at least in traces, in all green photosynthetically active plants since it is the first detectable cyclization product of 2,3-epoxysqua-lene in the course of the biosynthesis of cholesterol (and thus all other plant steroids) in plants.
