THE PATHWAY OF CHEMICAL EVOLUTION IN BEARDED IRIS SPECIES BASED ON FLAVONOID AND XANTHONE PATTERNS
Four diploid and seven allopolyploid bearded Iris were surveyed for their leaf flavonoid, isoflavonoid and xanthone constituents in order to investigate their phylogeny. Eighteen flavone Cglycosides and eight C-glucoxanthones were identified and proved to be useful evolutionary markers. The phenolic...
