| Abstract: | The constituent cutin acids of selected species of gymnosperms, a lycopod and a fern have been determined by GLC-MS of the methyl ester trimethylsilyl ethers. A large number of novel cutin acids has been found. Of particular significance is the occurrence of 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid in certain species. The results suggest that cutin acid composition may be a useful taxonomic and phylogenetic criterion. |
