Produktion von 2-Tridecanon durch verschiedene Kultur- und Wildtomatenpflanzen (Lycopersiconspp.)

Abstract

8 cultivars of the commercial tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and 4 species of wild tomato plants (L. hirsutum, L. pimpinellifolium, L. glandulosum, L, peruvianum) were investigated with regard to their production of 2-tridecanone in leaflets, petioles and stems during different stages of development and under different conditions of cultivation. The significance of 2-tridecanone as defence substance against fungal pathogens and pests of Lycopersicon spp. is discussed.
