Frontiers in Plant ScienceUnderstanding the chemical drivers of plant flammability is essential for predicting fire behavior in fire-prone ecosystems. While previous research has largely focused on the role of terpenes, the contribution of cuticular waxes to foliar flammability ...

New Insights into Biosynthesis of Cuticular Wax
The FASEB Journal, 2015 The outer epidermal cell walls of plant shoots are covered with a cuticle, a continuous lipid structure that protects plants from desiccation, UV‐light, pathogens, and insects. The cuticle is composed of cutin polymer matrix embedded and coated with waxes.

Sexual selection on song and cuticular hydrocarbons in two distinct populations of Drosophila montana [PDF]
, 2011 Sexual selection has the potential to contribute to population divergence and speciation. Most studies of sexual selection in Drosophila have concentrated on a single signaling modality, usually either courtship song or cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Composition of the Cuticular Waxes ofPicea abies andP. sitchensis
Phytochemical Analysis, 1996 The chemical compositions of the cuticular lipids of the needles of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) and Sitka spruce (P. sitchensis) (Bong.) Carr.) were investigated by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Fractionation of the wax extracts was carried out using column chromatography.

Molecular and chemical characterization of genes involved in maize cuticular wax biosynthesis [PDF]
, 2005 The primary surfaces of the arial parts of plants, and the surfaces of reproductive organs are covered by an extra cellular layer called the cuticle.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

, 2012 In wheat, cooler canopies have been associated with yield under high temperature stress. The objectives of this study were, i) to understand the role of leaf cuticular waxes as physiological adaptive mechanisms during reproductive stage high temperature ...

How to coexist with fire ants: The roles of behaviour and cuticular compounds [PDF]
, 2013 tBecause territoriality is energetically costly, territorial animals frequently respond less aggressively toneighbours than to strangers, a reaction known as the “dear enemy phenomenon” (DEP).
