Lemongrasses (Cymbopogonspp., Poaceae) are a group of commerciallyimportant C4tropical grasses. Their leaves contain up to 1.5%(d.wt) essential oils with a typical lemon-like aroma, consistingmainly of citral (a mixture of the isomeric acyclic monoterpenealdehydes geranial and neral). To specifically locate the sitesof citral accumulation in lemongrass we employed Schiff's reagent,which reacts with aldehydes and gives a purple-red colorationwith citral. Using this technique, single oil-accumulating cellswere detected in the adaxial side of leaf mesophyll, commonlyadjacent to non-photosynthetic tissue, and between vascularbundles. Cell walls of these oil cells are lignified. Our resultssuggest that citral accumulation takes place in individual oilcells within the leaf tissues.Copyright 1998 Annals of BotanyCompany Lemongrass;Cymbopogon citratus; Poaceae; oil cells; histochemistry; citral; aldehydes; Schiff's-reagent. 相似文献
