[Effect of different host plants on the volatile components in Taxillus sutchuenensis].

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different host plants on the volatile somponents in Taxillus sutchuenensis. METHODS: Volatile oils of T. sutchuenensis from two different hosts (Magnolia denudata and Camellia oleifera) were obtained by steam distillation. The chemical constituents and relative contents of the volatile oils were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS: There were some similarities of volatile constituents between T. sutchuenensis and the corresponding host plants while the volatile components of T. sutchuenensis isolated from different host plants were not the same. CONCLUSION: Host plants have effect on volatile constituents of T. sutchuenensis apparently.
