Notes:
Individual n-alkalines isolated from the leaf-surface waxes of plants utilizings differing photosynthetic pathways were analysed using gas chromatography/isotope mass spectrometry (GC/IRMS), in order to obtain the ratios of 13C to 12 (δ13). Marked differences in the average 13C-depletion of the n-alkalines relative to whole leaf tissues were observed (C3 = -7.7‰; C4 = -9.9‰; CAM = -11‰). Additionally, all three metabolic types exhibited considerable differences of 13C-depletion between n-alkaline homologues isolated from the same plant.
