Abstract: | The aurone, aureusidin 6-O-glucuronide, has been isolated from the antheridiophores of two liverworts, Marchantia berteroana, M. polymorpha and from Conocephalum supradecompositum. It occurs only in these organs in Marchantia. The appearance of this aurone in bryophyte reproductive structures suggests parallel evolution within the angiosperms and the bryophytes. |
