Abstract
This is the first study showing that alkaloids are present on the leaf surface of plants. A concentration of 30-230 pmol/cm2 pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA's) was detected in 8 different samples taken from Senecio jacobaea. PA concentration on the leaves was marginally correlated with PA concentration of the total leaf tissues. The PA spectrum on the leaf differed from the PA spectrum of the total leaf.Entities:
