Kivonat:
The occurrence of volatile compounds in flowers and roots of intact
plants and in vitro hairy root cultures of Tagetes patula L. was
investigated by GC and GC/MS. The flowers oil was dominated by mono-
and sesquiterpenes. The main component was the sesquiterpene
hydrocarbon beta-caryophyllene (50.2%). However, the oils of normal
roots and hairy root cultures were found to contain sulfur-containing
thiophene structures. The following four compounds were identified:
5-(3-buten-1-ynyl)-2,2'-bithiophene (BBT),
5-(3-penten-1-ynyl)-2,2'-bithiophene (PBT), 2,2':5',2"-terthiophene
(alpha-terthiophene) and 5-(4-acetoxy-1-butynyl)-2,2'-bithiophene
(BBTOAc). The main components were BBT (47.0%) and alpha-terthiophene
(19.8%) in the normal root oil and BBT (25.0%), alpha-terthiophene
(14.3%) and BBTOAc (13.7%) in hairy root oil, respectively.
