Description
Juan Vázquez-Martínez and Jorge Molina-Torres map alkamides in the fruit of Heliopsis longipes in a 2024 study. Alkamides are plant compounds with known effects on taste and nerves, and the pair asked how much of them the cypselae hold and just where they sit.
Gas tools named two alkamides, among them affinin, also called spilanthol. Microscopy with multiphoton fluorescence showed the compounds sit in the cotyledons, stored in lipid bodies. One of them glows on its own in the red range, which the team ties to the double bonds in its chain. The maps are a first for this plant part.
