Characterization of the Contents of Oil Bodies from the Liverwort Radula complanata [1]

Abstract:

With a combination of enzymatic treatment and micromanipulation, the contents of oil bodies of Radula complanata were obtained. A GC-MS analysis revealed that 3-methoxybibenzyl is the main constituent of these compartments. Its structure was elucidated by NMR spectroscopy.

Key words:

Radula - Jungermanniales - Radulaceae - liverwort - bibenzyls - micromanipulation
