LECTIN PROSPECTING IN COLOMBIAN LABIATAE. A SYSTEMATIC-ECOLOGICAL APPROACH - II.
PÉREZ GERARDO | VEGA NOHORA | FERNÁNDEZ-ALONSO JOSÉ LUIS
<div>This is the second study of lectin and mucilage detection in Labiatae nutlets from</div><div>Colombia. It was carried out on 31 taxa belonging to 7 genera in which no previous</div><div>studies have been carried out in this field. A differential response was observed</div><div>in the group of genera and species studied in terms of mucilage presence as well</div><div>as lectin activity which consistently increased following extract treatment with</div><div>Pectinex. Lectin activity was detected in 28 species, being important (greater than</div><div>60% activity) in at least 75% of them. Genera such as Hyptis, Scutellaria, Aegiphila</div><div>and Lepechinia, whilst not presenting mucilage, did present lectin activity, having</div><div>high activity in most cases. By contrast, Salvia (in all sections studied) presented</div><div>mucilage and important lectin activity.</div>
