Cajas

In processed products of the tropical fruit caja and in some cultivars of persimmons, all-tran P-cryptoxanthin was found to be the major carotenoid, contributing to 31 to 38% of the total carotenoid contents in both fruits (Table...

However, in the case of dietary alkaloids, it would seem that more than only traces of alkaloids, which do not exhibit selective toxicity to antagonist organisms, would be needed for defensive purposes. These trace alkaloids probably have a role in the organism s metabolism, development and behaviour. The traces of alkaloids in the eggs of Arctia caja also suggest a potential participation of these compounds in reproduction. Moreover, attention should be given to the fact that alkaloids are dietary sequestrations acquired from feeding on plants.

It shouid be noted that it is not often that these aikaloids are present in the eggs, as in the case of the Arctia caja. Natural sources are pyrroiizidine alkaloid-rich plant species Senecio spp., Homoptera Senecio and Adenostyles spp., Coleoptera and Senecio, Adenostyles, Petasites, Crotalaria and Heliotropium spp., Lep-idoptera).

The best-studied group of acquired alkaloids are the pyrrolizidines, which are produced by plants, especially in the families Asteraceae and Boraginaceae (502). Some arctiid larvae of Tyria Jacobaea, Cycnia men-dica, Amphicallia bellafrix, Arginia cribaria, and Arctia caja were shown...
