Abstract
Leaf waxes from durum wheat varieties Pelissier and Stewart 63 contained hydrocarbons (9%), esters (9%), alcohols (17%), acids (3%), β-diketone (36%), hydroxy β-diketone (9%) and unidentified material (17%). The major hydrocarbon was nonacosane, The C₃₆-C₅₆ esters were esters of C₂₀-C₂₈ alcohols with C₁₆-C₃₀ saturated acids and trans 2-docosenoic and 2-tetracosenoic acids, and the principal alcohol was octacosanol. The β-diketone was hentriacontane-14,16-dione and the hydroxy β-diketone was 25(S)-hydroxyhentriacontane-14,16-dione.
