“…Mustakone, an important compound found in the oil of priprioca (Cyperus articulatus L.) (14), a new commercial essential oil from Pará, was present in a minor quantity, but we are sure that it contributes to the scent of the oil.…”

RESUMENSe estudia la anatomía del sistema de ramificación subterráneo en Cyperus corymbosus Rottb. var. subnodosus (Nees et Meyen) Kük. Se describe la anatomía del rizoma y del tubérculo en este taxón. Se realiza un análisis comparativo de las variaciones observadas en diferentes estadios de desarrollo. Las características anatómicas de rizoma y tubérculos están asociadas al típico sistema caulinar subterráneo, a la forma de crecimiento de la especie y a su modo de propagación vegetativa.Palabras clave: Histología, rizoma, tubérculo, Cyperus corymbosus, Cyperaceae. ABSTRACTThe anatomy of the underground branching systems in Cyperus corymbosus Rottb. var. subnodosus (Nees et Meyen) Kük. was examined. The anatomy of the rhizome and tuber of this taxon. A comparative analysis of the variations observed in different development stages was also performed. The anatomical characteristics of the rhizome and tubers are associated with the typically underground shoot system, the growth form of the species and its mode of vegetative propagation.

“…Other inhibitory bioassays demonstrated that the essential oil from C. kyllingia, which is rich in the sesquiterpenes a-cyperone, a-selinene and b-humulene, was more active than the essential oil of C. brevifolius, rich in paraffins (C 17 -C 25 ) (Komai & Tang 1989). The essential oil of C. articulatus, which is rich in a-pinene, mustakone, caryophyllene oxide and other compounds (Zoghbi et al 2006), completely inhibited the seed germination of Mimosa pudica Mill., Senna obtusifolia (L.) Irwin & Barneby and Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth.…”

“…and Cyperus rotundus L. (Silva et al 2008). Other species, such as Cyperus articulatus L. are used in the perfume industry (Zoghbi et al 2006). A study on the essential oils from C. rotundus collected in different places (Hawaii, Japan, Thailand and Philippines) exhibited inhibitory activity on the radicle and hypocotyl growth of Avena sativa L., and the highest inhibition values were observed in the essential oils rich in oxygenated sesquiterpenes, such as cyperotundone, cyperol and a-cyperone (Komai et al 1991).…”

Chemical investigation of the rhizomes of Cyperus distans (Cyperaceae) led to the identification of α-ciperone, cyperotundone and scabequinone, besides other common constituents. Complete assignment of the (13)C NMR data of scabequinone is being published for the first time. The inhibitory effects of C. distans extracts and scabequinone on the seed germination and seedling growth of Mimosa pudica, Senna obtusifolia and Pueraria phaseoloides were evaluated. Seed germination inhibition bioassay revealed that S. obtusifolia (52-53%) was more sensitive to the hexane and the methanol extracts at 1% than M. pudica (0-10%). Scabequinone at 250 mg L⁻¹ displayed seed germination inhibitions more than 50% and radicle growth reduction of more than 35% of the test species S. obtusifolia and P. phaseoloides, while the hypocotyl growth of M. pudica was significantly affected (>50%) by the quinone at the same concentration. These results demonstrate that scabequinone contributes to the overall inhibitory activities of C. distans.
