Abstract

Sexual reproduction in Marchantia berteroana is accompanied by a dramatic change in flavonoid pattern of the plant. During the sexual reproductive phase, acacetin production ceases and the predominant flavonoids are the previously absent 8-hydroxyapigenin and 8-hydroxyluteolin glycosiduronic acids. In contrast, acacetin levels reach their peak during the asexual reproductive phase. The chemotaxonomic significance of these results is discussed.
