Abstract

The seasonal dynamics of alkaloids of the aerial part ofGenista tinctoria L. growing in the forest-steppe zone of the Bashkortostan Republic (Southern Ural region) was investigated by GC/MS. It was shown, that the content of quinolizidine alkaloids is maximal in the branches of the flowering period. Two alkaloids - baptifoline and ()-cytisine are the major components of the total alkaloids of this plant.
