Figure 4. Homolog variation of major wax species.

Carbon atom numbers of aldehydes (a) and primary (1°) alcohols (b), and β-diketones (c) are indicated on the x-axes. Their contents are indicated on y-axes as µg per g dried tissue. The bars indicate standard deviation of the mean calculated from six biological replicates. β-D, β-diketone; and OH-β, hydroxyl-β-diketones.
