Rm. Giner et al., A TAXONOMICAL STUDY OF THE SUBTRIBE LEONTODONTINAE BASED ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PHENOLIC-COMPOUNDS, Biochemical systematics and ecology, 21(5), 1993, pp. 613-616
Evaluation of the phenolic constituents of five species belonging to t
he subtribe Leontodontinae (family Asteraceae) allowed the identificat
ion of ten flavonoids and eight phenolic acids by means of HPLC and ot
her standard methods. The role of these compounds in relation to the m
orphological characteristics in the systematics of the subtribe is dis
cussed.
