ABSTRACT
Sesquiterpene esters are the active principle in the medicinal plant Petasites hybridus. Two chemotypes, the petasin chemotype and the furanopetasin chemotype, are known, but only the first one is suitable for pharmaceutical purposes. Experimental crossings were performed within and between plants of both chemotypes to study the genetic basis of the occurrence of these sesquiterpenes. The chemotype was determined by TLC in extracts of a small piece of rhizome in the parent plants and the progenies. A model including the combined action of two genes is proposed to explain the inheritance of the chemotypes where the furanopetasin chemotype is under recessive genetic control.
