Environment-Driven Adaptations of Leaf Cuticular Waxes Are Inheritable for Medicago ruthenica [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Cuticular waxes covering the plant surface play pivotal roles in helping plants adapt to changing environments. However, it is still not clear whether the responses of plant cuticular waxes to their growing environments are inheritable.

Various Patterns of Composition and Accumulation of Steroids and Triterpenoids in Cuticular Waxes from Screened Ericaceae and Caprifoliaceae Berries during Fruit Development [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 Cuticular waxes are primarily composed of two classes of lipids: compounds derived from very-long-chain fatty acids and isoprenoids, particularly triterpenoids and steroids. Isoprenoids can occur in cuticular waxes in high amounts, dominating the mixture

Sequestration of Exogenous Volatiles by Plant Cuticular Waxes as a Mechanism of Passive Associational Resistance: A Proof of Concept [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Numerous plant-derived volatile organic compounds (VOCs) induce the expression of resistance-related genes and thereby cause an “associational resistance” in neighbouring plants. However, VOCs can also be sequestered by plant cuticular waxes.
