The minerai content of enzymatically isolated pear leaf cuticles has been determined using a technique allowing a high sensitivity and a wide elemental coverage : the spark source mass spectrometry. About thirty elements have been detected, classified in different classes according to their content : N, K (major) Ca, Si, Al, Na (≥ 1 000 ppm) Fe, Cl, Mg (≥ 100 ppm) P, Cu, Zn, Ti, Ba, Mn, Ni, Co, Sr (≥ 10 ppm) B, Ag, Rb, Cr, Sn, V, Pb, Cd, U etc... (traces). These results are compared with analysis of entire pear leaves effected simultaneously and with those reported in literature concerning isolated tomato fruit cuticles. The problem of their validity for cuticles in situ, is discussed.
