Preliminary Studies of Phenolic and Flavanoid Content in Leaf Galls and Leaves of Pongamia Pinnata (L.) Pierre

Sashirekha S.

Abstract


Plants have been forming galls to ward off the attacks of bacteria, fungi, mistletoe, mites, nematodes, viruses, and insects. Although most galls probably do not harm the host too much, they do involve some form of parasitism and generally do not benefit the host. In the present paper galls found on the leaves of Pongamia pinnata were examined. Investigations were carried out for the presence of flavanoids and phenolics and compared with the ungalled leaf tissues.
