Epicuticular wax from mature plants of S. bicolor SD-102 was compared with that from panicles and seedlings of the same variety at the 4th-5th leaf stage of growth. The compositon of wax from SD-102 panicles was quite different from that of mature leaf blades and sheaths. Free fatty alcohols were the dominant class of wax from SD-102 seedlings and C32 was the major homologue of alcohols and aldehydes. For comparison purposes; the epicuticular waxes from whole plants of 2 other S. bicolor varieties, Alliance A and Martin A, grown up to the tasseling stage, were analyzed. The major wax components were free fatty acids. The typical chain lengths of aldehydes, free alcohols and free fatty acids were C28 and C30. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde was not a wax component of the studied varieties of sorghum.
