Movement of Metals to New Growing Tissue in the MossHylocomium splendens(Hedw.) BSG
1997
To obtainHylocomium splendens(Hedw.) BSG. that varied in metal (K, Mg, Ca and Zn) content, moss samples were collected from six sites around a zinc contaminated area of Latvia; metal contents were artificially lowered by branch excision. The first fully expanded annual segment (mature segments), together with the unexpanded segment (juvenile segment) were grown in the laboratory with watering from below. The contents of K, Mg, Ca and Zn in new growth were correlated with initial contents in the juvenile+mature segments. However, the concentrations of these metals in the new growth were generally not correlated with those in the pre-experimental segments. The excision of branches from the ma…
Über die Verbreitung von Flavonoiden bei pleurokarpen Laubmoosen I. Apigenin-7-rhamnoglucosid bei Hylocomium splendens (Hedw.) Br. eur.
1977
Summary 15 species of pleurocarpous mosses have been investigated as to their content of flavonoids. Flavonoid tests on 14 species have given negative results. Only one species, Hylocomium splendens , contains one flavonoid. It was purified by means of paper chromatography and is by chromatography and absorption spectrum identical with rhoifolin (apigenin-7-neohesperidoside). Partial acid hydrolysis yields apigenin-7-monoglucoside and rhamnose, quantitative hydrolysis apigenin, rhamnose and glucose. They were identified by comparison with authentic samples.
