| Research Abstract |
The fresh leaves of the Magnoliaceae have many kinds of the essential oil components more than one hundred. Since the essential oil is generally considered to be a taxonomic character, the fresh leaves of three sections of subgen. Magnolia and Yulania of the genus Magnolia and those of Liriodendrion were collected for the chemotaxonomic study using their essential oils. Essential oils were isolated by the procedure of the steam distillation, and purified with the solvent fractionation using diethyl ether. Each component of the essentialiol was identified with gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results in this study confirmed the taxonomic idea and/or considerations proposed by morphological studies. Furthermore, chemotaxonomic study using the essential oil is especially useful for the recognition of the hybrid that has not been identified by the data resulted from morphological studies.
Using isozyme technique based on naturally occurring enzyme variation, the molecular phylogenetic tree of the Magnoliaceae was proposed. The results supported the idea and/or considerations from the traditional taxonomy.
On the other hand, the study of physiological significance of the essential oil in the Magnoliaceae led to the successful identification of caryophyllene oxide as an inhibitor of cytokinin-induced retardation of oat leaf senescence and auxin- induced elongation of oat coleoptile segments.
