A two-dimensional thin-layer chromatographic study of the phenolics of young leaves provided the means for a numerical chemotaxonomic study of the diploid species of the genus Aegilops L. A great amount of variation in types and concentration of these compounds was found within A. squarrosa. Var. anathera, typica, and meyeri, of the ssp. eusquarrosa, were more related to ssp. strangulata than to each other. However, since the subspecies are morphologically distinct, their present taxonomic position should be retained. A. comosa was distinguishable from all other species by the presence of a violet fluorescing compound, while A. mutica was distinct from the others by the presence of a blue and a yellow fluorescing compound. Members of the Sitopsis section exhibited a high degree of similarity in composition of phenolic compounds. Based on phenolic contrast, A. umbellulata should be placed in a section apart from A. caudata while the rest of the diploid species should remain as presently classified. All Aegilops species were distinctly different from T. aegilopoides and T. monococcum and should be retained as separate generic entities.

Based upon a thin-layer chromatographic study of the phenolics of young leaves of the species of the genus Aegilops, in which affinities both within and among diploid and polyploid groups were compared, the following conclusions were drawn. No new compounds were found in the polyploid Aegilops species. A. ovata must have arisen from A. umbellulata and A. comosa. A. columnaris probably contains genetic material derived from members of the Sitopsis section. A. biuncialis contains parts of the genome of A. comosa and parts from some member of the Sitopsis section. A. variabilis contains an S or modified S genome. A. triuncialis contains the C and Cu genomes. A. cylindrica contains the genomes C and D. A. crassa(4x) has an S genome in its constitution. A. ventricosa seems to contain parts of the A. caudata genome. A. crassa (6x) contains one D genome, probably from A. squarrosa, one from A. bicornis, and the third genome appears to contain parts from the M and S genomes. A. juvenalis and A. triaristata (6x) contain a modified S genome.The present study supports the hypothesis that extensive natural hybridization and introgression has taken place during the evolution of the polyploid species.

Phenolic compounds in <em>Pleurocladula albescens</em> (Hook.) Grolle and <em>Pleurocladuia islandica</em> (Nees) Grolle were studied by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. Consistent differences between both taxa were found.

A thin-layer chromatographic study of fluorescent compounds present in native (L. denticulatus, L. formosissimus, L. micranthus, L. pinnatus, L. purshianus) and introduced (L. corniculatus, L. krylovii, L.pedunculatus, L. tenuis) Canadian species of Lotus has been carried out and relationships of the species have been determined on the basis of the coefficients of association of these compounds. Chemical identification of the compounds was not attempted, but test reagents indicated a number to be phenolics. The analysis supported the general taxonomic relationships of the species based on a morphological and cytological study. Of the native species, L. pinnatus and L. formosissimus were the most closely related, with a coefficient of association of 83.33. Lotus denticulatus, the only native species with a chromosome number of n = 6, in general showed lower coefficients of association with the n = 7 species. Of the introduced species, all of which belong to the L. corniculatus group with a basic chromosome number of 6, L. krylovii and L. tenuis had the highest coefficient of association, 75.86. Based on their coefficients of association, both of these diploid species were more closely related to the tetraploid L. corniculatus than to the diploid L. pedunculatus.

The methanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water extracts were obtained by extraction of marigold flower (Calendula officinalis L). The content of total phenolic compounds, determined by UV spectrophotometric method using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, was 15.12 mg/g. The content of total flavonoids, determined by UV spectrophotometric method according to Markham, was 5.13 mg/g. Qualitative determination of phenolic compounds in the extracts was performed by one- and two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (TLC) procedures. The results of one- and two-dimensional TLC analyses showed that different flavonoids and phenolic acids were present in the investigated extracts. The greatest number of flavonoids (rutin, quercetin and some unidentified flavonoid glycosides) and phenolic acids (chlorogenic, caffeic, coumaric and vanillic acid) were deteminated in methanol extract. The influence of marigold extracts, in concentration range 0.6-1.2 mg/mL, on 2,2?-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals was investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. All extracts showed scavenging activity (SA) in the following order: ethyl acetate > n-butanol > methanol > water > chloroform > petroleum ether. The SA increased with increasing concentration of extracts. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts exibited the most significant SA. These extracts in concentration of 1.2 mg/mL eliminated completely DPPH radicals. The lowest SA had chloroform and petroleum ether extracts (in concentration of 0.6 mg/mL SA=0%). The SA of marigold extracts is attributed to its hydrogen-donating ability and scavenging effect.

Abstract Dye intermediates in arylamine oxidation hair dyes are identified by a two-dimensional thin layer chromatographic method. An initial development in basic solution is followed by development in an acidic solution. The dye intermediates are identified by their color reactions with spray reagents and by their spatial relationships to known intermediates developed on the same plate. The chromatographic study included 30 dye intermediates proposed for use in commercial oxidation-type hair dyes.

The phenolics of young leaves from a hexaploid and three octaploid Triticale lines, and their rye and wheat parents were investigated by two dimensional thin-layer chromatography. Matching coefficients, coefficients of similarity, biochemical distances, and correlation coefficients were calculated to determine the degree of similarity of phenolics between the different groups. Chromatographic patterns and the calculated similarity measures showed a close relationship of phenolics between Triticale and its wheat parent. These patterns were even more closely related if the wheat parent was hexaploid. Two wheat varieties (Prelude and Kharkov) had identical chromatographic patterns while the variety Chinese Spring showed a reduced number of spots. The pattern of Stewart, a durum wheat variety, was intermediate between Chinese Spring and Prelude or Kharkov. Generally, the number of flavonoid compounds increased with the level of ploidy but did not increase proportionally with the number of genomes.
