Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Plates predominated in epicuticular wax of both C3 and C4 groups except S. plicata.
- Observation Epicuticular wax plates did not melt in C3 plants.
- Observation Total cuticular wax was significantly lower in C4 than C3 plants, except O. undulatifolius.
- Observation Primary alcohols were the most abundant compounds in C3 plants.
- Observation n-Alkanes were relatively most abundant in C4 plants.
- Observation C29 was the most abundant n-alkane in C3 plants except O. undulatifolius.
- Observation C31 or C33 was the most abundant n-alkane in C4 plants.
- Observation n-Alkane average chain length was higher in C4 than C3 plants.
- Observation n-Alkanoic acid average chain length was higher in C3 than C4 plants.
- Method / resource n-Alkane clustering separated C3 and C4 plants except O. undulatifolius.
- Association Wax variation was suggested to relate to C3 and C4 distribution across environments.
