Chemistry and micromorphology of compound epicuticular wax crystalloids (Strelitzia type)
Certain non-liliiflorous taxa within the monocotyledons (e.g., Strelitzia, Heliconia, Typha) are characterized by compound epicuticular wax rodlets (Strelitzia type). Similar rodlets are also encountered on the surface of the dicotyledonous plant Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn. Chemical analysis of...

| description | Certain non-liliiflorous taxa within the monocotyledons (e.g., Strelitzia, Heliconia, Typha) are characterized by compound epicuticular wax rodlets (Strelitzia type). Similar rodlets are also encountered on the surface of the dicotyledonous plant Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn. Chemical analysis of the surface wax from both sources showed that the rodlets are chemically distinct. The rodlets of the monocotyledons consist exclusively of aliphatic wax lipids, mainly wax esters. In contrast, the rodlets of Benincasa are chiefly composed of triterpenol acetates and triterpenols. Formation of rodlets is therefore interpreted as ultrastructural convergency. It is concluded that taxonomical studies on wax crystalloids can be misleading when interpreted in terms of micromorphology of crystalloids only. |
