In all, 139 compounds belonging to 14 homologous series were detected in the surface extract. They included typical plant wax constituents: alkanes (C-25-C-33), alkyl esters (C-38-C-50), primary alcohols (C-22-C-32), secondary alcohols (C-27 and C-29), ketones (C-27-C-33), aldehydes (C-24-C-34), fatty acids (C-24-C-32), and beta-sitosterol. Additionally, bifunctional C-29 compounds (alpha-diketone, ketols, diols) were identified. Nonacosan-10-one as the most abundant single compound, together with its bifunctional derivatives, is likely to form the wax crystals found on O. regalis fronds. Hence, a new type of wax crystals is defined morphologically and chemically. The occurrence of comparable wax aggregates on surfaces of higher plants is discussed. %Z Cited References Count:32
