| the stability of the symbiosis between dioecious figs and their pollinators: a study of ficus carica l. and blastophaga psenes l. | each ficus species depends on a specific mutualistic wasp for pollination. the wasp breeds on the fig, each larva destroying a female flower. it is, however, not known why the wasps have not evolved the ability to use all female flowers. in "dioecious" figs, the wasp can only breed in the female flowers of the "male" trees, so that pollination of a female tree is always lethal. the wasps should therefore be selected to avoid female trees. field data is presented showing that the fruiting phenolo ... | 1987 | 28564365 |
| phenylpropanoid composition in fig (ficus carica l.) leaves. | the leaves of fig (ficus carica l.) have been used for traditional and chinese medicine. we determined the composition of phenylpropanoids (polyphenols and furanocoumarins) as a functional agent in the leaves of 37 cultivars of fig. the most abundant polyphenol was caffeoylmalic acid (12.0-26.6 mg/g dry weight), followed by rutin (4.7-14.6 mg/g dry weight) and isoschaftoside (2.5-6.4 mg/g dry weight). psoralen (3.8-23.0 mg/g dry weight) was dominant in the furanocoumarins. in molar amounts, psor ... | 2017 | 28589249 |
