Abstract
Valor taxonómico de la micromorfología de la hoja y la fitoqímica
cuantitativa de Jatropha integerrima Jacq. y Jatropha podagrica
Hook. (Euphorbiaceae)-conocidas plantas hortícolas en Nigeria
Se examinó la micromorfología y la fitoquímica cuantitativa de J.
integerrima y J. podagrica para para identificar caracteres útiles
para la delimitación taxonómica, siguiendo protocolos estandarizados,
descritos por autores anteriores. Ambas especies son hipostó-
micas (paracíticas). Los tricomas (multicelulares, no glandulares)
estaban presentes sólo en la superficie adaxial de J. integerrrima y
ausentes en otras superficies epidérmicas. Los análisis fitoquímos
también señalaron pequeñas diferencias en la cantidad de compuestos
bioactivos presentes en ambas especies. El contenido de
fenol es el mayoritario en ambas especies: 37.65% en J. integerrima
y 36.13% en J. podagrica. Las semejanzas y diferencias de los
caracteres epidérmico-foliares y contenidos fitoquímicos pueden
ser empleadas para delimitar taxonomicamente ambas especies.
Abstract: The leaf micro-morphology and quantitative phytochemistry of J. integerrima and J. podagrica were examined to find useful characters for the delimitation of taxa, following standard protocols as described by previous authors. Both species are hypostomatic (paracytic). Trichome (multicellular, non-glandular) are only present on the adaxial surface of J. integerrima and absent in other epidermal surfaces. Phytochemical analysis also showed little differences in the amount of bioactive compounds present in both species. Phenol contents are the highest in the two species: 37.65% in J. integerrima and 36.13% in J. podagrica. The similarities and differences in the foliar epidermal characters and phytochemical content can be used to delimit the two studies species, as taxonomic characters.
