Summary Defence-related epithelial structures of juvenile stems and their phytochemistry were compared between six woody species of Betula from different geographical areas. The shoots of B. pendula, B. papyrifera, B. platypylla and B. ermanii are covered by resin droplets secreted by multicellular peltate glands. The seedlings of B. papyrifera and B. pubescens are covered with long epithelial hairs. Closer topical examination also revealed smaller glands on B. papyrifera and B. pubescens. The glands of B. ermanii are oval while the other species have a round shape. Phenol-specific histochemical staining indicated phenolic compounds in the cells in active glands of the resinous birches, but not in those of the pubescent birches. The epithelial hairs were strongly positive to the phenol stain. Analysis of the triterpenoids (3- and 3-papyriferic acid and pendulic acid) and a phenolic (platyphylloside) deterrent indicated that the morphological differences are accompanied by chemical ones. Pendulic acid was the main triterpene in B. ermanii instead of the 3-papyriferic acid of the other resinous species. Concentrations of the triterpenes ranged from about 0.3 to 12 mg/g, while the platyphylloside level was around 0.5 mg/g in all of them. Some triterpenes were also detected in B. papyrifera, but none in B. pubescens. The former contained only about 0.05 mg/g of platyphylloside, but B. pubescens contained 4 mg/g of this compound. 相似文献

Abstract. Water-soluble extracts of a host crucifer (Brassica oleracea L.) and non-host crucifer (Erysimum cheiranthoides L.) and isolated pure cardenolides and glucosinolates were tested on Pieris rapae L. (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) butterflies in oviposition assays and by electrophysiological recordings from the contact-chemoreceptor sensilla of the prothoracic tarsi. Ten different glucosinolates stimulated oviposition to varying degree when put on non-host plant leaves. The most active compounds were glucobrassiein and gluconasturtiin (methylindole and phenylethyl aglycone), whereas glucocapparin, sinalbin. glucotropaeolin, sinigrin and glucoalyssinin had intermediate activity. Glucocheirolin, glucoerucin and glucoiberin (sulphur-containing aglycone) were significantly less active. Of eight cardenolides applied to host-plant leaves (100 μg each), four glycosides deterred oviposition strongly (erysimoside, erychroside, cymarin and K-strophanthin-β). Erycordin, helveticoside, digitoxin and strophanthidin had little or no deterrent activity. Sensilla located laterally on the prothoracic tarsi of female butterflies contained one receptor cell sensitive to sucrose. None of the tested extracts or pure compounds stimulated any cell in these sensilla. In contrast, the cells in the medial sensilla showed little or no sensitivity to sucrose. One cell was found to be sensitive to cardenolide glycosides. The threshold for one of the most active compounds, erychroside, was about 0.1 μg/ml (1.5 times 10-7 M). Two receptor cells, characterized by spikes of differing amplitude, were sensitive to glucosinolates. One of these, with larger amplitude spikes, seemed to be the same as the cell sensitive to cardenolides. The threshold for the most active glucosinolates, glucobrassicin and gluconasturtiin was estimated to be below 0.1 mg/ml (2 times 10-4 M). The neural activity of both classes of compounds, cardenolides and glucosinolates, was significantly correlated with their behavioural activity as deterrents or stimulants. 相似文献
