Sorghum cuticular waxes influence host plant selection by aphids
Planta, 2022Quantification of cuticular waxes coupled with insect bioassays and feeding behavior analysis demonstrate that long-chain C32 fatty alcohol impacts host plant selection by aphids. Cuticular waxes constitute the first point of contact between plants and their environment, and it also protect plants from external stresses.

Cuticular wax of Epilachna varivestis
Insect Biochemistry, 1984Abstract Cuticular lipids of larvae, pupae and adults of the Mexican bean beetle (Epilachna varivestis) have been examined using gravimetric and thin layer densitometric techniques. The effects of rearing on different hostplants and of rearing temperature on lipid composition were studied.

Biosynthesis and secretion of plant cuticular wax
Progress in Lipid Research, 2003The cuticle covers the aerial portions of land plants. It consists of amorphous intracuticular wax embedded in cutin polymer, and epicuticular wax crystalloids that coat the outer plant surface and impart a whitish appearance. Cuticular wax is mainly composed of long-chain aliphatic compounds derived from very long chain fatty acids.

Cuticular waxes from potato (Solanum tuberosum) leaves
Phytochemistry, 2006The qualitative and quantitative compositions of leaf cuticular waxes from potato (Solanum tuberosum) varieties were studied. The principal components of the waxes were very long chain n-alkanes, 2-methylalkanes and 3-methylalkanes (3.1-4.6 microg cm(-2)), primary alcohols (0.3-0.7 microg cm(-2)), fatty acids (0.3-0.6 microg cm(-2)), and wax esters (0 ...

A WAX INDUCER1/SHINE transcription factor controls cuticular wax in barley
2022AbstractAll land plants seal their above ground body parts with a lipid-rich hydrophobic barrier called the cuticle that protects tissues from dehydration and other terrestrial threats. Mutational studies in several model species, including barley, have resolved multiple loci regulating cuticular metabolism and development. Of particular importance are

n-Alkanes, esters, aldehydes, free alcohols, β-diketones and hydroxy-β-diketones were found to be the lipid components of the cuticular waxes of common wheat Chinese Spring (Triticum aestivum L.). The ditelosomic lines 7A-L and 7D-S showed a dramatic decrease in the amount of β-diketones and hydroxy β-diketones which are reduced to traces.

Cuticular waxes on eceriferum mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana
Phytochemistry, 2001We present cuticular wax chemical profiles for the leaves and stems of Arabidopsis wildtype Landsberg erecta and eleven isogenic eceriferum mutants: cer5, cer10 to cer15, and cer17 to cer20. These cer mutants have wax profiles that are different from those of wildtype in chemical chain length distribution, amount per chemical class, and/or total wax ...

Studies on plant cuticular waxes-IV
Phytochemistry, 1968Abstract Statistical analyses of the results of gas chromatographic studies of the alkane components of Cupressus leaf waxes show that individual trees and species have highly characteristic minor alkane patterns. Species may be diagnosed by such analyses and hybrids have alkane patterns intermediate between the parent species.

In situ assembly of cuticular wax
Planta, 1976Cytochemical reactions within the primary cuticle (cutinised layer) indicate that the lamellae are formed from polar lipids. The electron microscope shows that the lamellae are involved in wax formation and it is suggested that the polar lipids provide in situ precursors for the synthesis of cuticular wax.
