Özet
The changes in the amount and composition of suberin monomers of Scots pine outer bark, which is grown natively in Turkey, was investigated as a function of growing altitude. Samples were taken from every 100. m to 1300. m which was the highest point of the sampling area. While the total amount of suberin monomers is varied within the range 17.56-47.20. mg/g, there was no correlation between total amount and altitude. Total amount of alkanols of suberin monomers decreased when the altitude increased. Alcohol 24:0 was seen as the dominant constituent and its amount decreased from 100. m to 1300. m. There was not a clear change in the total amount of alkanoic, dioic and hydroxy acids. Acid 1,18-hydroxy-18:1 and acid 1,18-dioic-18:1 were determined as the main compounds in all samples. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
