“…They were found to be complex mixtures, generally containing n-alkanes (Samanta et al, 2013;Cordeiro et al, 2011;Jetter and Schaffer, 2001;Silva et al, 2012), fatty acids, alcohols, alkyl acetates, aldehydes, ketones, and triterpenoids (Jetter and Schaffer, 2001;Schreiber and Schönherr, 2009;Fagerström et al, 2013;Guo et al, 2014;Percy et al, 2009). …”

Removal of trimethylamine (TMA) by 10 different living Sansevieria spp. and their dried leaf materials was studied. The results showed that living Sansevieria kirkii was the most effective plant while Sansevieria masoniana was the least effective in TMA removal. Two major pathways were involved in stomata opening and epicuticular wax on the leaf surface. In the presence of TMA, the stomata opening in Sansevieria spp. was induced, which enhanced TMA removal under light conditions. Dried leaf powders of Sansevieria spp. adsorbed TMA through their waxes. Therefore, both living and non-living Sansevieria spp. can be effectively used for removal of TMA.

“…Em diferentes espécies de Policarpus, também foi encontrado uma série homóloga de alcanos semelhante às espécies deste estudo, compreendendo, de modo geral, homólogos de 21 a 33 carbonos, com os homólogos C31 e C29 aparecendo como majoritários (Skorupa et al, 1998). Outras espécies também apresentaram séries homólogas de alcanos semelhantes com as espécies estudadas, como a Swietenia mahagone, que apresentou como homólogos majoritários o C29, C31 e C33 (Bi et al, 2005) e Litchi chinensis, apresentando como homólogos majoritários o C27, C29, C31 e C33 (Samanta et al, 2013). De acordo com as informações disponíveis, a distribuição de alcanos em Sapindales aparentemente é bastante semelhante, apresentando séries homólogas ímpares com os homólogos C29, C31 e C33 bastante abundantes.…”

Simaba sensu lato was recently splited in two distinct genera, Simaba senso strictu and Homalolepis, both with mainly South American distribution occuring in different environments and morphoclimatic areas. Although their phylogenies are almost fully understood, some species still require attention. Studies with cuticular waxes have showed the usefulness of these characters in some phylogenies. Despite the great number of data concerning the chemical analysis of species of Simaroubaceae related to quassinoid composition, for the best of our knowledge there is no study with the chemical and morphological characterization of the cuticular waxes on this family. Therefore, in the present study, the chemical composition and the morphology of the leaf cuticular waxes of 119 specimens belonging to 20 species of Homalolepis, four from Simaba s.s. and three from related genera were analyzed. The waxes were extracted with dichloromethane and analyzed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. The morphology of the epicuticular waxes was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Seventy compounds were identified in the waxes, comprising fatty acids, alkanes, primary alcohols, steroids and tocopherols. The most abundant classes were the fatty acids and alkanes. While fatty acids were the major class in Homalolepis, alkanes were more abundant in Simaba s.s. This quantitative distinction allowed the differenciation of the two genere. Notwithstanding, the composition of the waxes were very similar, as well as their morphology. Consequently, these data were not helpful in distinguishing the species. Concerning the wax composition in relation to the morphoclimatic areas, the speciemens collected in the Atlantic and Amazonian domains had thiner wax loads than those collected in the Cerrado. However, almost none correlation was found between wax chemical classes and the morphoclimatic area, except for the predominance of alkanes in the specimens collected in the Amazonian domain.

From screening 23 plant species, it was found that Pterocarpus indicus (C3) and Sansevieria trifasciata (crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)) were the most effective in polar gaseous trimethylamine (TMA) uptake, reaching up to 90% uptake of initial TMA (100 ppm) within 8 h, and could remove TMA at cycles 1-4 without affecting photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. Up to 55 and 45% of TMA was taken up by S. trifasciata stomata and leaf epicuticular wax, respectively. During cycles 1-4, interestingly, S. trifasciata changed its stomata apertures, which was directly induced by gaseous TMA and light treatments. In contrast, for P. indicus the leaf epicuticular wax and stem were the major pathways of TMA removal, followed by stomata; these pathways accounted for 46, 46, and 8%, respectively, of TMA removal percentages. Fatty acids, particularly tetradecanoic (C14) acid and octadecanoic (C18) acid, were found to be the main cuticular wax components in both plants, and were associated with TMA removal ability. Moreover, the plants could degrade TMA via multiple metabolic pathways associated with carbon/nitrogen interactions. In CAM plants, one of the crucial pathways enabled 78% of TMA to be transformed directly to dimethylamine (DMA) and methylamine (MA), which differed from C3 plant pathways. Various metabolites were also produced for further detoxification and mineralization so that TMA was completely degraded by plants.
