Chemical Composition and Morphology of Epicuticular Waxes from Leaves of Solanum tuberosum

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1987
The chemical com position and morphology of leaf surface waxes of Solanum tuberosum were analysed using FT - IR . GLC and MS studies. There is a predominance of saturated and long chained components resulting in a crystalline wax layer in the form of ribbons, n-alkanes are a major constituent with C31 being p rominent.
