Abstract
Leaf waxes from Panicum miliaceum, P. texanum and Setaria italica have been analysed; the principal components are hydrocarbons, esters, aldehydes and alcohols. The esters are composed partly of esters of triterpene alcohols. The major free alcohol in dotriacontanol. Free triterpene alcohols are also present, particularly in wax from P. miliaceum. A mixture of unusual triacylglycerols, with 1,3-ditetradecanoyl-2-hexanoylglycerol as principal component, is a minor component (5%) of wax from P. texanum
