Polyacetylenes in related thistles of the subtribes centaureinae and carduinae

The distribution of polyacetylenes in eight closely related thistles belonging to the subtribes Centaureinae and Carduinae (Asteraceae) was examined and showed similar patterns among the annuals of each subtribe. The perennial in each subtribe, i.e. Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens) and globe art...

Description
Summary:The distribution of polyacetylenes in eight closely related thistles belonging to the subtribes Centaureinae and Carduinae (Asteraceae) was examined and showed similar patterns among the annuals of each subtribe. The perennial in each subtribe, i.e. Russian knapweed (Acroptilon repens) and globe artichoke (Cynara scolymus) both contained more polyacetylenes than the annuals, and the subtribe Centaureinae had the greatest number of, and the more complex, polyacetylenes.
