Composition of leaf n-alkanes in three Satureja montana L. subspecies from the Balkan peninsula: ecological and taxonomic aspects.

Researchers analyzed the composition of leaf waxes in eight populations of three subspecies of Satureja montana found in the Balkan Peninsula. They identified 15 types of n-alkanes in the leaf waxes, with n-nonacosane (C29) being the most common in all samples. The differences in the levels of three other dominant n-alkanes allowed for the separation of coastal and continental populations. Statistical analyses showed a strong correlation between the leaf-n-alkane pattern and the geographical distribution of the populations. Temperature-related bioclimatic parameters were also found to have a significant impact on the differentiation of coastal and continental populations. These findings may have implications for understanding the evolution and adaptation of S. montana subspecies in different environments.
