According to a study from Vancouver, Canada, "Arabidopsis wax components containing secondary functional groups were examined (i) to test the biosynthetic relationship between secondary alcohols and ketols and (ii) to determine the regiospecificity and substrate preference of the enzyme involved in ketol biosynthesis. The stem wax of Arabidopsis wild type contained homologous series of C-27 to C-31 secondary alcohols (2.4 mu g cm(-2)) and C-28 to C-30 ketones (6.0 mu g cm(-2)) dominated by C-29 homologues."
"In addition, compound classes containing two secondary functional groups were identified as C-29 diols (similar to 0.05 mu g cm(-2)) and ketols (similar to ...
