Abstract: | "Volatile components of seven Frullania species (Frullaniaceae) from New Caledonia, including five endemic species (F. bella, F. scalaris, F. mamnmillosa, F. cornita and F. falsicornuta), were analyzed by GC-MS in order to index these plants to known chemotypes. Constituents detected in these Frullania species were mainly sesquiterpenes, as well as the bibenzyl dihydrognetin, and the flavonoid naringinin-5,7,4'-trimethyl ether. These compositions allowed an indexation of Frullania species from New Caledonia to cyclocolorenone, sesquiterpene lactone and bibenzyl chemotypes. In addition, qualitative intraspecies variations of chemical composition were very important and made indexation to known chemotypes very tricky. Moreover, two of the endemic liverworts did not possess any biomarker that linked to a known chemotype" |
