Secondary Metabolites of Micromycetes in Plants of the Family Fabaceae Genera Galega, Glycyrrhiza, Lupinus, Medicago, and Melilotus

Аннотация

The component composition and content of mycotoxins in the terrestrial parts of perennial legumes of the genera Medicago (M. falcata L., M. lupulina L., M. sativa L.), Melilotus (M. albus Medik., M. officinalis (L.) Pall.), as well as Caucasian goat’s rue (Galega orientalis Lam.), Spanish licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.), and Washington lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus Lindl.) selected from natural biocenoses within different periods of vegetation, were studied. The intensity of accumulation and the variety of fungal metabolites are most clearly expressed in licorice and lupine and more weakly expressed in goat’s rue; the species of alfalfa and melilot, the contamination of which did not differ noticeably, occupied an intermediate position. The general features and peculiarities of the mycotoxin profile during the period of vegetation in the plants of the genera Medicago and Melilotus are discussed.
