POLAR EPICUTICULAR LIPIDS OF LYCOPERSICON PINNELLII

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0031-9422(00)83879-0

Trichome exudates of Lycopersicon pennellii yielded nine 2,3,4-tri-O-acylglucose esters as α- and β-anomers from the polar fraction of the epiculticular lipid mixture.The esters were primarily derived from 2-methylpropanoic, 2-methylbutanoic, 3-methylbutanoic, 8-methylnonanoic and n-decanoic acids, together with trace quantities of 10-methylundecanoic and n-dodecaonic acids. - Key Word Index: Lycopersicon pennellii; Solanaceae, wild tomato; trichomes; polar epicuticular glucolipids; 2,3,4-tri-O-acylglucose esters.
