	abstract = {Epicuticular and intracuticular waxes from both adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the leaves of Kalanchoe daigremontiana were analyzed. All wax mixtures were found to contain approximately equal amounts of triterpenoids and very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) derivatives. The triterpenoid fraction consisted of glutinol (8-19\% of the total wax) and friedelin (4-9\%), together with smaller amounts of glutanol, glutinol acetate, epifriedelanol, germanicol and beta-amyrin. The VLCFA derivatives comprised C-27-C-35 alkanes (19-37\% of the total wax), C-32-C-34 aldehydes (3-7\%), C-32 and C-34 fatty acids (0.2-3\%), C-26-C-36 primary alcohols (4-8\%), and C-42-C-52 alkyl esters (2-9\%). The wax layers were found to differ in triterpenoid amounts, with the intracuticular wax containing higher percentages of most triterpenoids than the epicuticular wax. Friedelin, the only triterpenoid ketone present, showed the opposite distribution with higher proportions in the epicuticular wax. VLCFA derivatives also accumulated to higher percentages in the epicuticular than in the intracuticular wax layer. Epicuticular wax crystals were observed on both the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {In cuticular waxes from leaves of Pisum sativum, 19 secondary alcohols, 10 primary/secondary alkanediols and three secondary/secondary alkanediols were identified by various chemical transformations with product assignment employing GC-MS. The homologous series Of C-29-C-33 secondary alcohols (1.1 mu g/cm(2)) was dominated by hentriacontanol isomers (94\%). Only octacosanediols and trace amounts of hexacosanediols (< 1\%) were detected in the primary/secondary alkanediol faction (0.7 mu g/cm(2)). The secondary/secondary alkanediols (0.12 mu g/cm(2)) contained a single homologue with chain length C-31. All three compound classes showed characteristic isomer distributions with secondary functional groups predominantly located between C-14 and C-16. Based on the isomer compositions, the sequence of biosynthetic steps introducing the hydroxyl functions is discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},
