Polar epicuticular lipids of Lycopersicon pennellii

Abstract 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 epicuticular 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 -dodecanoic acids.
