Item Posible rol biológico de metabolitos secundarios en líquenes antárticos(1992) Quilhot, Wanda; Hidalgo, María; Fernández, Ernesto; Peña, Wenceslao; Flores, EvaLos productos secundarios de líquenes tendrían un rol adaptativo en especies que desarrollan su ciclo de vida en climas rigurosos. Se discuten los roles probables: filtros de la radiación ultravioleta, transferencia de energía a los pigmentos fotosintéticos y reservas energéticas a utilizar en períodos de déficit de nutrientes.Item Temporal variation in usnic acid concentration in Usnea aurantiaco-atra (Jaq.) Bory(1991) Quilhot, Wanda; Peña, Wenceslao; Flores, Eva; Hidalgo, María Eliana; Fernández, Ernesto; Leighton, GerardoIn Usnea aurantiaco-atra (Jaq.) Bory, growing in the Antarctica, a monthly variation in the usnic acid content, in individual thalli, was studied by means of scanning densitometry (HPTLC). The higher accumulation rates were quantified from January to May; there was a significant decrease in the concentrations from June to December, during the three years of study. In spite of the thalli were taken from a same location, variations could be observed in the usnic acid concentration in the individuals from within each monthly sample
