Surveys reveal diverse metabolites in Rosaceae plants, suggesting significant ecological interactions.
Modern science considers lower and higher plants as stable associations with communities of microscopic fungi that are capable of synthesizing physiologically active substances. A survey of forest biocenoes plants from the Rosaceae family – cloudberries, stone berries, strawberries and raspberries – showed that the leaves and fruits have a set of 16 analyzed metabolites with the highest accumulation of diacetoxyscirpenol (1970–12800 ng/g), PR toxin (610–11300 ng/g) and background T-2 toxin (60–69 ng/g). For the remaining analytes, a wide range of quantities was found to vary – from units to thousands of ng/g; leaf petioles were distinguished by a reduced content of all components.
