Biosynthetic origin of the saw-toothed profile in d13C and d2Y of n-alkanes and systematic isotopic differences between n-, iso- and anteiso-alkanes in leaf waxes of land plants

Biosynthetic origin of the saw-toothed profile in d13C and d2Y of n-alkanes and systematic isotopic differences between n-, iso- and anteiso-alkanes in leaf waxes of land plants

The n-fatty acids containing an even number of carbons (ECN-n-FAs) in higher plants are iosynthesisedby repetitive addition of a two carbon unit from malonyl-ACP. The n-alkanes containing an odd numberof carbon atoms (OCN-n-alkanes) are generally formed by the decarboxylation of ECN-n-FAs, but it is...
