Information available on the suitability of caffeine and its allies as valuable marker compounds in chemotaxonomy of Paullinia and related genera. Also, an investigation has been conducted to evaluate the possibility of using flavonoids as chemotaxonomic markers in species identification of Dipterocarpaceae family in Sri Lanka.
ON to my opinion most of the secondary metabolites (like Anthraquinones from Polygonaceae,etc.,) achieved through usual plant physiological processes have the capacity to be investigated as chemotaxonomic marker in different studies. but dear as per your query I should suggest you to read the attached papers that might be helpful.. Yours,
various enzymes that don't change under environmental condition are suitable as marker.
Flower volatiles are unique to plant species and even chemo types. They are like a fingerprint, control pollination, fungal, pest and predator attacks, easy to identify, quantify and analyse by GC-MS
