Vergleichende Analyse der ätherischen Öle in Blattdrüsenhaaren verschiedener Kultur- und Wildtomatenpflanzen (Lycopersicon spp.)

Abstract

The essential oils in glandular hairs on leaves of Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., L. peruvianum (L.) Mill, and L. pimpinellifolium (Jusl.) Mill. (3 cultivars each) were directly recovered by puncturing the heads of the glandular hairs with glass capillaries and analyzed by GC resp. combined GC-MS techniques.

The 3 Lycopersicon species showed characteristic patterns of oil constituents with species-specific main components, definite proportions of hydrocarbons/oxygen-compounds, terpenoids/nonterpenoids and mono-/sesquiterpenes.

Different cultivars within a single species were found to be homogenous in their essential oil patterns.
