Abstract
Four terminal-N-methylated polyamines, N1-methylputrescine, N1,N4dimethylputrescine, N1-methylhomospermidine and N1,N9-dimethylhomospermidine were detected and identified as a endogenous minor polyamine in the mature root of a Solanum crop plant, tomato, by GC and GC-MS. This is the first report on the natural occurrence of N1,N4-dimethylputrescine and the two N-methylated homospermidine(s).
