The effect of Cuscuta babylonica Aucher (Cuscuta) parasitism on the phenolic contents of Carthamus glaucus Bieb.subsp. glaucus
Abstract
Cuscuta species are holoparazit plants which obtained all need water and organic material from host
plants. The host plants are generally synthesized a variety of phenolic compounds in response to attack of parasitic
plants. In this study, the plant Carthamus glaucus Bieb. subsp. glaucus (Compositae) used as host plant is an
important plant that contains several compounds inhibit the STAT-3 gene is directly related to prostate cancer. In the
study it was investigated that the effect of Cuscuta babylonica parasitism phenolic compounds of C. glaucus. The
phenolic compounds of infected and uninfected C.glaucus plants analysed by LC/MS-MS. The results indicated
a rise in phenolic contents that known as defense chemicals quinic acid, gallic acid, tr-caffeic acid, hyperoside,
quercetin, and naringenin with dodder infestation. Besides in the content of tr-aconitic acid, vanillin, hesperidin,
4-OH-benzoic acid, salicylic acid and kaempferol decreased after dodder infestation.
