The main component presents in the epicuticular waxes of needles of Pinus halepensis and the most of conifers, the secondary alcohol nonacosan-10-ol, has been investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The results obtained from these physical techniques permitted to establish a definitive structural model of the molecular arrangement of this wax, basically in good agreement with the model formulated by other authors from theoretical formulations. Biological implications of the proposed structure have been also formulated.
已通过X射线衍射和差示扫描量热法对阿勒颇松针叶以及大多数针叶树的表皮蜡中的主要成分——仲醇二十九烷-10-醇进行了研究。从这些物理技术获得的结果有助于建立这种蜡分子排列的确定结构模型，该模型与其他作者从理论公式得出的模型基本一致。还阐述了所提出结构的生物学意义。
