LWCD

LWCD: Leaf wax (C and H) and cellulose (O) Database is develloped by an active research group that focuses on employing compound-specific and position-specific H/C/O isotope signals at natural abundance level to understand plant metabolism and physiology. This research is leading to the development of an isotope database for leaf lipids, amino acids and -cellulose and soluble sugars. Currently the database is composed of carbon and hidrogen isotope data for lipids synthesized via three independent biosynthetic pathways for over 100 species of tropical grasses and 6 species of controlled grown plants and oxygen isotope data from cellulose for more than 200 species across temperate, subtropical and tropic zones.
