| Abstract: | The distribution of flavonoid pigments in the leaves of indica and japonica type rice plants was studied by paper chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques. A fluorescent flavoniod compound prominent in the leaves of indica was isolated in a crystalline form and identified as glucotricin (tricin-7-β-glucoside), the structure of which was characterized by Kuwatsuka in 1962. |
