“…It is the precursor of all types of furanocoumarins formed by dealkylation of (S)-(+)-marmesine by cytochrome P450-type enzymes (Miksch & Boland, 1996). Psoralen is a well known photodynamic active drug that is capable of absorbing radiant energy and responsible for contact dermatitis (Tava, Pecetti, Ricci, Pagnotta, & Russi, 2007).…”

“…These species are easily distinguishable by their flower colour and the smell of the aboveground biomass: B. morisiana has white‐pale purple flowers and no smell and B. bituminosa has purple flowers and bitumen smell. The presence of smell in B. bituminosa may affect the acceptability of its forage to animals (Oldham et al., ; Tava, Pecetti, Ricci, Pagnotta, & Russi, ). In the Canary Islands, natural populations of B. bituminosa var.…”

Perennial forage legumes may be pivotal for improving the sustainability of Mediterranean rainfed farming systems. This study summarizes the outcomes of a study aimed at characterizing morphological and agronomic traits of new germplasm of Bituminaria bituminosa and B. morisiana in Mediterranean environments. Five B. morisiana and three B. bituminosa native populations were evaluated in a small‐plot field experiment in Sardinia (Italy) and compared with seven Spanish accessions of B. bituminosa. The two Bituminaria species differed greatly in morphological traits and the beginning of the flowering stage, and remarkable variations between species were found for forage production and its seasonal distribution, seed yield and persistence. Average cumulative dry‐matter yield was higher in B. bituminosa than in B. morisiana (+7.6%; 297 vs. 276 g per plant). Average 3‐year seed production varied greatly between accessions (from 0.3 to 141 g per plant). Differences for these traits were also found between Sardinian and Spanish germplasm of B. bituminosa. Four clusters were generated by K‐means clustering. Accessions included in cluster III exhibited a positive combination of favourable forage production, high seed yield and satisfactory persistence. Nonetheless, the cluster analysis did not highlight a sharp discrimination between Bituminaria species. The overall results revealed the potential role of Sardinian accessions of B. bituminosa and B. morisiana in extending the forage season and for increased resilience of grasslands in Sardinia and other Mediterranean regions under rainfed conditions.

“…Biosynthetically, they are mainly originated from shikimic acid pathway, with the intermediated of cinnamic acid. In the case of Bituminaria bituminosa, the presence of two furanocoumarins has been reported by different authors as psoralen (linear furanocoumarins) and angelicin (angular furanocoumarins) (Innocenti et al, 1991(Innocenti et al, , 1997Méndez et al, 2001;Tava et al, 2007). However, little information exits concerning the presence of these secondary compounds in the genus Cullen.…”
