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.

Fruit cuticular waxes as a source of biologically active triterpenoids [PDF]
Phytochemistry Reviews, 2012 The health benefits associated with a diet rich in fruit and vegetables include reduction of the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, that are becoming prevalent in the aging human population. Triterpenoids, polycyclic compounds derived from the linear hydrocarbon squalene, are widely distributed in edible and ...

Will the climate of plant origins influence the chemical profiles of cuticular waxes on leaves of Leymus chinensis in a common garden experiment? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Cuticular wax covering the leaf surface plays important roles in protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stresses. Understanding the way in which plant leaf cuticles reflect their growing environment could give an insight into plant resilience to ...

Cuticular Waxes of Arabidopsis thaliana Shoots: Cell-Type-Specific Composition and Biosynthesis [PDF]
Plants, 2017 It is generally assumed that all plant epidermis cells are covered with cuticles, and the distinct surface geometries of pavement cells, guard cells, and trichomes imply functional differences and possibly different wax compositions. However, experiments
