Abstract
The secretory system of mature leaves of Salvia officinalis L. is made up of capitate glandular trichomes, peltate glandular trichomes and ambrate resinous droplets. The secretions of these glandular trichomes and of the ambrate resinous droplets were sampled by microneedle shuttle analysis and analyzed by GC/MS. The sampled secretions are made up of paraffinic fraction and a terpenic fraction. While the paraffinic fraction is derived from the glandular surface wax, the terpenoid fraction is derived from the inner glandular secretion. The secretions have different qualitative and quantitative compositions depending on the secerning structure; eight compounds were common to the glandular trichome and ambrate resinous droplet secretions: α-pinene, β-pinene, 1,8-cineole, α-thujone, β-caryophyllene, α-humulene, ledene and biformene.
