GC-MS Analysis of Phytochemical Compounds of Normal and Leaf Galls of Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) j.f.Macb.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
Plant galls are manifestations of growth and of differentiation induced on a plant by animal or plant parasite. Madhuca longifolia (Koenig) J.F. Macb.is widely distributed in tropical mixed deciduous forests in India in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Kerala, and Rajasthan. Leaf galls of Madhuca longifolia induced by insects of order diptera and hymenoptera present unique pattern of chemical perturbations which normally do not occur in normal morphogenesis of the involved organ. The plant – pathogen interaction leads to production of increased secondary metabolites owing to the stress conditions. The secondary metabolites are supposed to provide resistance against pathogen. GC-MS analysis of the normal and galled leaf tissue of Madhuca longifolia lead to the finding that under stressed conditions larger number of fatty acids and secondary metabolites were produced. Further studies on the efficacy of these fatty acids and secondary metabolites can result into various findings and discovery of novel and useful secondary metabolites resulting in increased resistance against pathogen to host plant and biomedical importance. The fatty acids (oleic acid and palmitic acid) were found in higher amount in dipteran and hymenopteran galls, So these galls can be widely used in traditional medicines and food industry.
