Abstract

Free p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was not present in appreciable quantity on the surface or in the interior of week-old Sorghum bicolor shoots that had been heated to inactivate hydrolytic enzymes, nor was p-hydroxybenzaldehyde detected in epicuticular wax of greenhouse-grown sorghum ca 4.5 months old.
