Abstract

The viscotoxin composition of the vegetative part of V. album determined by HPLC was found to be different in the three European subspecies. The characteristic differences in viscotoxin composition were not affected by the host species and by the harvesting seasons investigated. However, host-dependent differences in the total amount of viscotoxins were detected.
