A survey of 170 Australian species of Cyperaceae belonging to 35 genera has confirmed that this family has a highly characteristic flavonoid pattern in leaf and inflorescence. Aurone pigments, the most distinctive family constituents, were found in the leaves of 25% of the sample and in the inflorescences of 40%. Sulphuretin was found for the first time in the family, in Carex appressa. Flavones, such as tricin and luteolin, are very common; in addition, a variety of methyl ethers were detected. Luteolin 5-methyl ether was found in further genera, while luteolin 7-methyl ether, diosmetin and acacetin were detected for the first time in the Cyperaceae. Flavonols and their methyl ethers occurred in over one-third of the species, particularly in the leaves, being especially well represented in the genera Fuirena, Gahnia, Lepidosperma and Mesomelaena. Myricetin was found only twice, in two Baumea species. The 3-desoxyanthocyanidin carexidin was found in the inflorescences of eight species, i.e. in 5% of the sample. Taxonomically, the results are mainly of interest at the generic and specific level, where the patterns sometimes show useful correlations with morphology. At the tribal level, the Sclerieae are the most distinctive, with higher than average frequency of flavone C-glycosides, flavonols, proanthocyanidins and aurones, and lower than average frequency of flavones. 相似文献

Anthocyanins, variously identified in inflorescence, fruit, leaf or petiole of 59 representative species of the Araccae, are of a simple type. The most common pigment is cyanidin 3-rutinoside, while pelargonidin 3-rutinoside and cyanidin 3-glucoside are regularly present. Two rare pigments are: cyanidin 3-gentiobioside in Anchomanes and Rhektophyllum, both in the subfamily Lasioideae; and delphinidin 3-rutinoside in Schismatoglottis concinna. In a leaf survey of 144 species from 58 genera, flavone C-glycosides (in 82%) and proanthocyanidins (in 35–45%) were found as the major flavonoids. In the subfamily Calloideae, subtribe Symplocarpeae, flavonols replace glycoflavones as the major leaf components but otherwise flavonols are uncommon in the family (in 27% of the sample) and more usually co-occur with flavone C-glycosides. Two new flavonol glycosides were characterized from Lysichiton camtschatcense: kaempferol 3-(6-arabinosylgalactoside)and kaempferol 3-xylosylgalactoside. Simple flavones, luteolin and chrysoeriol (in 6%) were found only in the subtribes Arinae and Cryptocoryninae, subfamily Aroideae. Flavonoid sulphates were identified in only four taxa: glycoflavone sulphates in two Culcasia species and Philodendron ornatum and a mixture of flavone and flavonol sulphates in Scindapsus pictus. Caffeic ester sulphates were more common and their presence in Anthurium hookeri was confirmed. These results show that the Araceae are unusual amongst the monocots in their simple and relatively uniform flavonoid profile; no one subfamily is clearly distinguished, although at tribal level some significant taxonomic patterns are observed. The best defined groups are the subfamilies Lasioideae and Monsteroideae, and the tribes Symplocarpeae and Arophyteae, and the subtribe Arinae. The greatest chemical diversity occurs in Anthurium and Philodendron, but this may only reflect the fact that these are the two largest genera in the family. The origin and relationship of the Araccae to other monocot groups are discussed in the light of the flavonoid evidence. 相似文献

Sullivantia species were found to produce quercetin 3-O-glycosides, several of which contain glucuronic acid, as well as pedalitin (6-hydroxy-7-O-methyl luteolin), pedalitin 6-O-glycosides, and small amounts of luteolin. Sullivantia has a unique combination of compounds that distinguishes it from other genera in the Saxifraginae for which flavonoid data are available. The nature of the flavonoid compounds is in accordance with a general trend within the Saxifragaceae of reduction and replacement of flavonols by flavones. 相似文献

In a leaf survey of 168 species of the Liliaceae, most of the major flavonoid classes were found to be represented in the family. Flavonols occurred most frequently: quercetin and kaempferol were detected in 40% and 42% of the sample respectively, while the flavones luteolin and apigenin were present in only 24% and 20% of the sample. Methylated derivatives, i.e. isorhamnetin, diosmetin and tricin were rare. Procyanidins were present in 17 species, flavonoid sulphates in only one species and flavone C-glycosides in only three species. Anthraquinone pigments were identified in species of Aloe Asphodeline and Asphodelus. Three new flavonoid glycosides were characterised during the course of the survey: diosmetin 7-diglucoside in Colchicum byzanthinum and tricin 7-fructosylglucoside and tricin 7-rutinoside-4′-glucoside in Hyacinthus orientalis cv. ‘Quean of the Pinks’. On the basis of the flavonoid survey, the subfamilies of the Liliaceae may be grouped into those containing flavonols only, those with flavones only or those having both flavonols and flavones. Members of the related families: Amaryllidaceae (17 species), Agavaceae (1 species) and Xanthorrhoeaceae (1 species) contained only flavonols. The subfamilies Scilloideae, Asphodeloideae and Melanthioideae show the most chemical variation whilst the Wurmbaeoideae and Lilioideae are the most homogeneous groups. The tribe Scilleae is unusual in that both flavone- and flavonol-containing genera occur and a wide variety of flavonoid types are represented. A comparison of the leaf flavonoids of the Liliaceae with those found in families related to the grasses showed that all except two classes of flavonoid compound (5-methylated flavones and 5-deoxyflavonoids) found in the Juncaceae. Cyperaceae, Palmae and Gramineae are present in the Liliaceae thus supporting the view that all four families could have arisen from Liliaceae-like ancestors. 相似文献

More than 50 collections of 12 species forming the A. ptarmica group have been analysed for their leaf flavonoids. C-Glycosylflavones (iso-orientin and derivatives, vicenins and lucenins) were found to be the main components, whereas flavonol 3-O-glycosides (based on quercetin and kaempferol) and flavone 7-O-glycosides (based on luteolin and diosmetin) were of restricted distribution. Infraspecific variability regarding C-glycosylflavones was observed in most of the taxa investigated. By contrast, flavonol 3-O-glycosides appeared to be stable characters and were sometimes accumulated instead of C-glycosylflavones. In addition to the flavonoids, the geographical distribution patterns and the possible origin of the A. sibirica in Eastern Asia are briefly discussed. 相似文献

In a leaf survey of 142 species from 75 genera of the Orchidaceae, flavone C-glycosides (in 53%) and flavonols (in 37 %) were found to be the most common constituents. However, since these compounds are not found uniformly and their distribution shows a strong correlation with plant geography, it is not possible to represent the Orchidaceae by a single flavonoid profile. Thus, flavone C-glycosides are most common in tropical and subtropical species of the Epidendroid and Vandoid tribes (in 63%) and flavonol glycosides are more characteristic of temperate species of the Neottioid tribes (in 78%). By contrast 6-hydroxyflavones (in 6 species), luteolin (in 2 species) and tricin as the 5-glucoside (in 1 species) are all rare. Three new glycosides were characterised: scutellarein 6-methyl ether 7-rutinoside from Oncidium excavatum and O. sphacelatum, pectolinarigenin 7-glucoside from 0. excavatutn and Eria javanica, and luteolin 3′,4′-diglucoside from Listera ovata. The xanthones, mangiferin and isomangiferin were found in Mormolyca ringens, Maxillaria aff. luteo-alba and 5 Polystachya species and a mangiferin sulphate tentatively identified in P. nyanzensis. Other unusual phenolic constituents include 6,7-methylenedioxy- and 6,7-dimethoxycoumarins from Dendrobium densiflorum and D. farmeri, formed by the rearrangement during the extraction process from the corresponding O-glucosyloxycinnamic acids. The origin and relationship of the Orchidaceae to other monocot groups are discussed in the light of the flavonoid evidence. 相似文献

External and internal flavonoids were isolated from 12 Uncarina taxa (Pedaliaceae), endemic to Madagascar. Four flavone aglycones, tricetin 7,3′,5′-trimethyl ether, tricetin 7,4′,5′-trimethyl ether, 5,3′-dihydroxy-6,7,4′,5′-tetramethoxyflavone and eupatorin were isolated from leaf wax of seven Uncarina taxa, Uncarina grandidieri, Uncarina decaryi, Uncarina abbreviata, Uncarina turicana, Uncarina platycarpa, Uncarina leandrii var. leandrii and Uncarina peltata, but not Uncarina stellulifera, Uncarina perrieri, Uncarina sakalava, Uncarina leptocarpa and U. leandrii var. rechbergeri. Furthermore, eight flavonoid glycosides were isolated from the leaves. Major glycosides were apigenin and luteolin 7-O-glucuronides and occurred in all the Uncarina taxa examined, except the absence of the former compound in U. peltata. Other glycosides were identified as hispidulin, jaceosidin, chrysoeriol and tricin 7-O-glucuronides, and luteolin 7,4′-di-O-glucuronide and a flavonol, isorhamnetin 3-O-diglucoside. From the results described above, methylated flavone aglycones and glucuronides were chemical characters of the leaves of Uncarina species, and also may be those of the family Pedaliaceae. Besides, an anthocyanin, two flavonols and three flavones were isolated from the flowers of U. grandidieri, and identified as cyanidin 3-O-rutinoside (anthocyanin), quercetin and isorhamnetin 7-O-glucuronides (flavonols) and apigenin, luteolin and jaceosidin 7-O-glucuronides (flavones). 相似文献

Fifteen flavonoids were isolated from flowers and leaves of four species ofWeigela [W. florida (Bunge) A. DC.,W. praecox (Lemoine) Bailey,W. hortensis (Sieb. et Zucc.) K. Koch, andW. subsessilis (Nakai) Bailey] of Korea and one species (W. coraeensis Thunb.) of Japan. The flavonoid data indicated the presence of two distinct chemical groups: the “yellow flower” type producing
flavonols and the “red flower” type producing flavonols and flavones. Two cyanidin 3-O-glycosides (glucoside and glucose-xylose) also occurred in all examined taxa. In the floral color-changing species,W. subsessilis, only quercetin glycosides predominated in floral tissue at first, decreasing in number and quantity with time. Instead,
cyanidin 3-O-glycosides became present predominantly in flower color changing tissue from yellow to mauve.Weigela florida produced apigenin and luteolin glycosides, along with cyanidin 3-O-glycosides, which were also found inW. subsessilis. Within a relatively limited number of individuals (five),W. hortensis was unique in its production of all flavonols, flavones, and anthocyanins, although two individuals lacked flavone compounds
but possessed all flavonols and anthocyanins. In effect, the putative hybrid,W. hortensis of Korea showed additive profiles of the parental marker compounds ofW. subsessilis andW. florida. Pollinator (andrenid bees) non-discrimination betweenWeigela flower-color morphs leading to non-assortive mating was a common, which indicated no breeding barrier among species. This
flavonoid study indicated that species of both sections,Weigela andCalysphyrum appeared in each chemical grouping and it was obvious that the arrangement based on flavonoids cut across the sectional treatment
of Hara. Floral tissues may be directly involved in the evolutionary strategy of pollination mechanisms and hence, their inherent
flavonoids may no longer support taxonomic relationships. The presence of flavone glycosides inWeigela would support that tribe Dievilleae have a closer affinity to tribe Lonicereae within the Family Caprifoliaceae. 相似文献

In a leaf flavonoid survey of 59 specimens of the Winteraceae and related families, representing nine genera, luteolin 7,3′-dimethyl ether (in 77%) and flavonols (in 81%) were found to be major constituents. Indeed the high incidence of luteolin 7,3′-dimethyl ether chemically isolates the family from all other angiosperm groups, including families and genera that have been taxonomically associated with the Winteraceae in the past. Simple flavones (in 16%), on the other hand, were found only in some Drimys s. str., Tasmannia and Pseudowintera species. Similarly, the distribution of flavone C-glycosides was restricted to specimens of T. piperita and one specimen of D. winteri. The frequent occurrence of procyanidin (in 60%) and dihydroquercetin (in 44%) reflects the primitive and woody nature of the family. The combined flavonoid data clearly support previous cytological, morphological and phylogenetic studies in the division of the Winteraceae into three groups of genera: (1) Bubbia, Belliolum, Exospermum and Zygogynum; (2) Drimys s. str. and Pseudowintera and (3) Tasmannia. Some generic variations were found within the Bubbia, Belliolum, Expospermum and Zygogynum group but apart from minor geographic variations within Belliolum the flavonoid results do not appear to provide suitable evidence for subgeneric taxonomy. 相似文献

In a leaf flavonoid analysis of six Fuchsia species and seven Fuchsia hybrids, flavonols were found to be abundant in all taxa except F. procumbens. Flavone glycosides were found in only three species: luteolin 7-glucoside in F. splendens; and luteolin and apigenin 7-glucuronides and 7-glucuronidesulphates, tricin 7-glucuronidesulphate and diosmetin 7-glucuronide from one or both of the New Zealand species F. procumbens and F. excorticata. Luteolin 7- glucuronidesulphate is reported for the first time. Other less common phenolics identified include the flavanone, eriodictyol 7-glucoside from F. excorticata, a galloylglucose from F. triphylla, and a galloylglucosesulphate present in all taxa. Eight of the flavonoid glycosides proved useful as marker substances for particular Fuchsia species: quercetin 3- rhamnoside, 3-glucuronide and 3-rutinoside for F.fulgens; quercetin and kaempferol 3-galactosides for F. boliviana var. luxurians; diosmetin 7-glucuronide for F. excorticata and apigenin 7-glucuronide and 7-glucuronidesulphate for F. procumbens. The chemical results on the hybrids support the view that the cultivar ‘Mary’ is a hybrid of F. boliviana var. luxurians and F. triphylla and that both F.fulgens and F. triphylla are involved as parents of the cultivars ‘Koralle’ and ‘Traudchen Bondstedt’. 相似文献

The conifer genus Phyllocladus is shown by comparative flavonoid chemistry to be remarkably homogeneous and quite distinct from other studied genera in the Podocarpaceae. It is characterized by the accumulation (in the foliage) of a predominance of flavone O-glycosides, and in particular, luteolin 7- and 3′-O-glycosides. Lower levels of flavonol O-glycosides are also evident. Two flavone glycosides are reported for the first time, luteolin 3′-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside and luteolin 7-O-α-L-rhamnoside. 相似文献

Flavone glycosides are the main flavonoid leaf constituents in the related genera Parahebe and Veronica (Scrophulariaceae), in agreement with former chemical studies of the family. In Parahebe there are groups of species in which there are mainly luteolin glycosides, and groups in which 6-hydroxyluteolin dominates. Small amounts of apigenin occur in many taxa. Glycosylation is usually in the 7-position but 4′- and 5-glycosides were also found. In Veronica a larger variety of flavone aglycones was found: e.g. luteolin, apigenin, chrysoeriol, tricin and three different 6-hydroxyflavones. They are often present in the plants in the form of glucuronides. Glycosylation is in the 7-or-5-position. Most species of both genera have a distinctive pattern of flavonoid glycosides in their leaves which can be used for identification. Populations of P. catarractae are an exception in showing three different patterns, but here the variety in flavone profiles corresponds to the pattern of morphological and geographic variation within this taxon. Anthocyanins are responsible for the blue, mauve and pink colours of the flowers in the two genera. In Veronica they are based on delphinidin, whereas in Parahebe catarractae on both delphinidin and cyanidin. 相似文献

A survey of flavonoids in sixteen of the seventeen taxa in the genusPerideridia (Umbelliferae) showed the presence of thirteen glycosides of the flavonols kaempferol, quercetin, and isorhamnetin, and seven glycosides of the flavones apigenin, luteolin and chrysoeriol. An anthocyanin and four other flavonoids also occur, but remain unidentified dueto their low concentration. Several species characteristically produce speciesspecific compounds. The majority of species, however, produce flavonoids common to one or more taxa, but each taxon can be distinguished by its own specific complement of these flavonoids. Based on classes of flavonoids the genus can be divided into three groups: (1) those species which produce only flavonols; (2) those which produce mainly flavonols and a few flavones; and (3) those which produce predominantly flavones with flavonols absent or present only in trace amounts. Geographically, the flavonol-producing species are centered in California, extending northeastward to Idaho and eastward into Arizona. The flavonol/flavone producers are concentrated more towards the Pacific Northwest and eastward through the Rocky Mountains to the midwestern United States. 相似文献

From the aerial parts of the maritime plantLippia nodiflora, 15 flavonoids, 3 flavone aglycones and 12 new flavone sulphates, have been isolated and identified. The new flavone sulphates are mono- and disulphates of nepetin, jaceosidin, hispidulin, 6-hydroxyluteolin and nodifloretin present as the sodium salts. These sulphates are the only flavone conjugates detected in this plant. Flavone trisulphates are additionally present in populations of this species from Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, but lack of plant material prevented their complete characterization. Analysis of the closely related speciesLippia canescens showed that it has the same flavonoid pattern. By contrast, a third speciesL. triphylla showed a flavonoid pattern lacking flavonoid sulphates, but characterized by the presence of 7-glucuronylglucosides of luteolin, diosmetin and apigenin. This is the first finding of flavonoid sulphates in the Verbenaceae. 相似文献

Flavonoid chemistry of the genusMulinum and selected Mulineae taxa was studied. Both flavones and flavonols were identified as C- and O-glycosides. AllMulinum species contain 6,8-di-C-glycosyl chrysoeriol (flavone) and, with the exception of one, quercetin (flavonol). The presence
of both flavones and flavonols in this genus weakens previous generalizations that the mulineae contain only flavonols and
are primitive compared to other Apiaceae tribes. Based on the selected taxa studied,Azorella appears to differ from bothMulinum andGymnophyton in producing more kinds of flavonols, andGymnophyton appears similar toMulinum in the production of both chrysoeriol and quercetin as well as relatively few compounds. The flavonoid profile ofAsteriscium glaucum is reported as well. In general, a more homogeneous flavonoid compound composition for the Apiaceae is suggested. 相似文献

The flavonoid chemistry of Takakia is described for the first time. T. lepidozioides, thought to be amongst the most primitive of extant liverworts, contains a high level and wide variety of flavone C- and O-glycosides, many of which are unique. New flavonoids include the 8-O-glucuronide and 8-O-xylosylglucoside of takakin (8-hydroxyacacetin), luteolin 6-C-arabinoside-8-C-pentoside, kaempferol 3-O-glucoside-7-O-xyloside and a number of tricetin C-glycosides. The only other known Takakia species, T. ceratophylla, contains the same 4 major constituents but significantly lacks flavonols. The often suggested relationship of Takakia with the order Calobryales is not supported by the available flavonoid data. Biochemical affinities of Takakia with all major liverwort orders are noted and the flavonoid data are interpreted as supporting the concept of Takakia as an isolated branch among the ancestors of modern bryophytes. 相似文献

A survey of 50 species of the Fluviales showed that over 50% have either flavone or caffeic acid sulphates present. Flavone sulphates were detected in 16% of the sample and the 7-sulphates of luteolin, apigenin, diosmetin and chrysoeriol and the 7,3′-disulphate of luteolin were identified variously in Thalassia, Zannichellia and Zostera species. Anionic caffeic esters were found in 46% of the sample; preliminary studies indicate the presence of sulphated caffeylquinic acids in these plants. In confirmation of earlier studies, glycoflavones were found to be widespread and flavonols and proanthocyanidins to be rare. The taxonomic and ecological significance of these results are discussed. 相似文献

Phylogenetic relationships within the complex genus Lupinus are estimated from internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the nuclear ribosomal DNA repeat. The molecular data supports Lupinus as a distinct monophyletic group within the tribe Genisteae. Different geographical lineages are revealed within Lupinus, which are each restricted to either the Old or the New World. In the New World, the ITS data support an eastern-western geographic disjunction of the lupines and the recognition of some well-supported clades. In the Old World, almost all the previously recognized taxa are taxonomically well differentiated. The homogeneous African rough-seeded lupines, Scabrispermae, are strongly supported as a monophyletic group, which is distinct from the diverse and heterogeneous circum-Mediterranean smooth-seeded ones. The latter appear to have evolved as two lineages, in which are revealed some intersectional relationships. Also ITS data allow the assessment of the phylogenetic position of the newly discovered species, L. anatolicus (in the Old World) and L. jaimehintoniana (the Mexican tree lupin). The ITS phylogeny suggests a rapid initial radiation of the lupines subsequent to their divergence from a common ancestor. Moreover, the results indicate that the annual and perennial habits have evolved many times in Lupinus and suggest a role for generation time in affecting the evolutionary history of lupines. Data on adaptive processes and character evolution are re-examined and discussed in the light of the ITS phylogeny.These studies were supported by the research unit UMR-CNRS 6553 Ecobio – University of Rennes (France), and by the NSERC of Canada (grant to R.J. Bayer, at the University of Alberta). They are greatfully acknowledged. All the persons that have contributed in different ways to this work on Lupinus, summarized in this presentation, are greatly thanked. Particularly, we would like to mention Malika Aïnouche, Roland Greinwald, André Huon, W.K. Swiecicki, Billie L. Turner and Ludger Witte for their contributions. 相似文献

A leaf survey of 59 tropical (43 African, and 16 South American) Cyperaceae showed that in addition to the expected flavonoid constituents, i.e. glycoflavones and tricin derivatives, a representative number of them (33%) contained luteolin 5-methyl ether. An equal sample of temperate Cyperaceae failed to show any species with this substance. Thus it appears that this rare 5-methylated flavone is restricted to tropical members of the family. In four species of the South American genus, Lagenocarpus, 6-hydroxyluteolin 7-glucoside was identified. This is the first report of this 6-hydroxyflavone in the Cyperaceae and in the monocotyledons. A new glycoside of iso-orientin, the 3'-glucuronide, was identified in Rhynchospora eximia. The new data have been collected in a revised summary of the leaf flavonoid pattern of the Cyperaceae and compared with those of the Gramineae and Juncaceae. The discovery of luteolin 5-methyl ether in the Cyperaceae brings it closer in chemical terms to the Juncaceae, from which family this compound was first isolated 相似文献

Equisetum arvense L. (Equisetaceae-horsetail) accumulates various flavones and flavonols in infertile shoot. Enzyme assays conducted with crude extracts of the green tissue revealed chalcone synthase activity and also three further activities assigned to flavonoid biosynthesis and identified as flavone synthase I, flavanone 3β-hydroxylase and flavonol synthase. The latter three activities were characterized as soluble, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases by their typical cofactor requirements and peculiar inhibition. Notably, this is the first report of flavone synthase I which had been considered to be restricted solely to species of the Apiaceae from a distant plant taxon. 相似文献
