Evaluation of n-alkanes and their carbon isotope enrichments (d13C) as diet composition markers [PDF]
, 2011 Plant cuticular n-alkanes have been successfully used as markers to estimate diet composition and intake of grazing herbivores. However, additional markers may be required under grazing conditions in botanically diverse vegetation.

CsCER6 and CsCER7 Influence Fruit Glossiness by Regulating Fruit Cuticular Wax Accumulation in Cucumber. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Fruit glossiness is an important external fruit quality trait that greatly affects the marketability of fresh cucumber (Cucumis sativus) fruits. A few reports have suggested that the extent of cuticular wax loading influences the glossiness of the fruit ...

Cuticular wax biosynthesis as a way of inducing drought resistance
, 2011 Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to cope with drought or water deficit conditions, such as stomatal closure, maintenance of root growth and water uptake, and biosynthesis of osmoprotectants. Accumulation of cuticular waxes also contributes

Trade-offs between the accumulation of cuticular wax and jasmonic acid-mediated herbivory resistance in maize. [PDF]
Plants have evolved complex physical and chemical defense systems that allow them to withstand herbivory infestation. Composed of a complex mixture of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and their derivatives, cuticular wax constitutes the first ...

Cuticular wax accumulation is associated with drought tolerance in wheat near-isogenic lines
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Previous studies have shown that wheat grain yield is seriously affected by drought stress, and leaf cuticular wax is reportedly associated with drought tolerance. However, most studies have focused on cuticular wax biosynthesis and model species.
