Abstract
The chemical composition of the glue substance that attaches the appre ssoria of Magnaporthe grisea bar artificial leaf wax was investigated. As a percentage of fresh weights, the glue Nas crude lipids 29.0%, pr oteins 12.2%, sugars 7.6%, mater 26.5% and other substances 24.7%. The major fatty acid components of the crude Lipids mere hexadecanoic and octadecanoic acids. Unsaturated fatty acids and branched fatty acids mere also detected as minor components. The protein was abundant in gl ycine, glutamic acid, and serine. Glucose, xylose, and mannose mere th e major monosaccharides.
