The distribution and occurrence of polyisoprenoids (dolichols and polyprenols) in the leaves
and roots of nine true Okinawan mangroves and the leaves of one associate mangrove were analyzed using
two-dimensional thin layer chromatography. In the leaves, the distribution of three types (I, II, and III) of
polyprenols and dolichols were detected. (I) The predominance of dolichols over polyprenols (more than
90%) was observed in Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. gymnorrhiza (yellow leaves), and Rhizophora
stylosa. (II) The occurrence of both polyprenols and dolichols is observed in Excoecaria agallocha, Kandelia
obovata, K. obovata (yellow leaves), Lumnitzera racemosa, Pemphis acidula, and Sonneratia alba. (III) The predominance
of polyprenols over dolichols (more than 90%) is observed in Heritiera littoralis and Hibiscus
tiliaceus. However, in the roots, a type-I distribution was observed in A. marina, B. gymnorrhiza, E. agallocha,
H. littoralis and S. alba. A type-II distribution was observed in K. obovata, L. racemosa, P. acidula, and R. stylosa
with no type-III distribution. The chain-length distribution of dolichols in the leaves and roots was C50–C140
and C60–C120, respectively. A similar chain-length distribution of polyprenols of C45–C140 and C65–C85 was
detected in the leaves and roots respectively. Taken together, sixteen out of twenty-one tissues indicated
that dolichols are more abundant than polyprenols in both leaves and roots. The present study is the first
to clarify the diversity of polyisoprenoids in both the leaves and roots of mangrove, suggesting the chemotaxonomic
significance of polyisoprenoids in the mangrove tree species.
