Abstract
The multilamellar wall secreted by protoplasts isolated from locule tissue of tomato fruit was purified, and an extract was obtained after depolymerization with BF3-methanol. Analysis of this extract using TLC demonstrated the presence of fatty acid methyl esters, fatty alcohols, dicarboxylic acid dimethyl esters and .omega.-hydroxy acid methyl esters. These components were quantified using an Iatroscan TLC-flame ionization detection system. The different chain lengths in each group were identified and quantified using gas chromatography. The results clearly indicated the presence of suberin.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
