Cycloartenol methyl ether

Knob (southern Canterbury Administrative Region see Fig. 2.11) and cycloartenol methyl ether [58] was found in plants from Clarke River, whereas four other collections failed to yield any TMEs. Similarly, populations of C. rigida (Raoul) Zotov from eastern South Island do not synthesize TMEs, whereas those from western South Island were shown to accumulate p-amyrin methyl ether [59]. An additional difference between populations from these two sites lies in the capacity of the former to produce short-chain wax components, as opposed to long-chain compounds from the latter (Cowlishaw et al., 1983). Different chemodemes were also described for C. cheesemanii (Hackel ex Cheesem.) Zotov plants from North Island exhibited lupeol methyl ether as the dominant compound along with lesser amounts of arun-doin and two unidentified compounds, whereas populations from the South Island had arundoin as the major compound with lesser amounts of lupeol methyl ether.
