| Description |
Thin-layer chromatography of leaf extracts of male and female lines of nutmeg indicated the presence of steroid degradation compound specific for male lines. (b-sitosterol also showed similar degradation. Structural elucidation of this compound was accomplished by IR and MS and was tentatively identified as 1-dimcthyl 2-ethyl butyl methyl ketone with molecular weight as 150. The results of the present study suggest the possible use for identification of sexual characteristics of nutmeg in seedling stage itself.
