Abstract
The sesquiterpene composition of leaf cuticular neutral lipids of pota to (Solanum tuberosum) varieties was investigated by GC, GC-MS and HPL C. The distribution of sesquiterpenes varied between varieties with th e major components being beta-caryophyllene, trans-beta-farnesene, ger macrene D, beta-sesquiphellandrene and germacrene D-4-ol. cis-beta-Far nesene and bicyclogermacrene were identified in potato for the first t ime. The amount of sesquiterpenes was 1O-60% of the cuticular neutral lipids depending on variety. The sesquiterpenes and alkanes were the m ajor groups of components in the waxes investigated.
