ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The relation of four species of medicinal plants from family Euphorbiaceae and their endophytic fungi was studied to find the source of active substances for developing new pharmaceutical resources.METHOD:
The main fatty acids contained in Sapium sebiferum, Euphorbia pekinensis, Euphorbia helioscopia, Bischofia polycarpam and their 28 strains of endophytic fungi were compared and analysed by GC.RESULT:
The main fatty acids of the plants are alpha-linolenic acid, palmitic acid, linolenic acid and oleic acid. Linolenic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid are the main fatty acids of the endophytic fungi.CONCLUSION:
The fatty acids could be produced by the endophytic fungi, which could be used as a factor for identification. There are great differences at the contents of alpha-linolenic acid between the plants and their endophytic fungi, which were suggested to be related with the nutrition absorption and the relationship between the endophytes and the host plant.
