The process of silicification in plants and the biochemical
effects of silica in plant tissues are largely unknown. To
study the molecular changes occurring in growing cells
that are exposed to higher than normal concentration of
silicic acid, Raman spectra of germinating pollen grains of
three species (Pinus nigra, Picea omorika, and Camellia
japonica) were analyzed in a multivariate classification
approach that takes into account the variation of biochemical
composition due to species, plant tissue structure,
and germination condition. The results of principal
component analyses of the Raman spectra indicate differences
in the utilization of stored lipids, a changed mobilization
of storage carbohydrates in the pollen grain bodies,
and altered composition and/or structure of cellulose of
the developing pollen tube cell walls. These biochemical
changes vary in the different species.
The driving forces triggering the formation of co-crystals under milling conditions were investigated by using a set of multicomponent competitive milling reactions. In these reactions, different active pharmaceutical ingredients were ground together with a further compound acting as coformer. The study was based on new co-crystals including the coformer anthranilic acid. The results of the competitive milling reactions indicate that the formation of co-crystals driven by intermolecular recognition are influenced and inhibited by kinetic aspects including the formation of intermediates and the stability of the reactants.
