An investigation of sugar‐cane cuticular wax
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1957AbstractThe saponified cuticular wax from sugar cane (N.Co 310 variety) was found to consist of an acid fraction (containing some triene‐unsaturated acids), small amounts of hydrocarbons in the C27–C31 range, and of lower and higher molecular weight substances made up of aliphatic alcohols (of which n‐octacosanol was identified as the main component ...

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.

Phototransformation of the Herbicide Sulcotrione on Maize Cuticular Wax
Environmental Science & Technology, 2006Vegetation plays a key role in environmental cycling and the fate of many organic pollutants. This is especially the case for pesticides because plant leaves are their first reaction environment after application. It is commonly accepted that photochemical reactions of pollutants on plants predominantly take place in the cuticular wax coating of the ...

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 ...

Effects of cuticular wax on the postharvest quality of blueberry fruit
Food Chemistry, 2018The blueberry fruit has a light-blue appearance because its blue-black skin is covered with a waxy bloom. This layer is easily damaged or removed during fruit harvesting and postharvest handling. We investigated the effects of wax removal on the postharvest quality of blueberry fruit and their possible mechanisms.

A WAX INDUCER1/SHINE transcription factor controls cuticular wax in barley
2022Abstract All 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 ...

Arabidopsis cuticular waxes: Advances in synthesis, export and regulation
Progress in Lipid Research, 2013Cuticular waxes and cutin form the cuticle, a hydrophobic layer covering the aerial surfaces of land plants and acting as a protective barrier against environmental stresses. Very-long-chain fatty acid derived compounds that compose the cuticular waxes are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum of epidermal cells before being exported to the ...

Planta, 1976
The water permeability of astomatous cuticular membranes isolated from Citrus aurantium L. leaves, pear (Pyrus communis L.) leaves and onion (Allium cepa L.) bulb scales was determined before and after extraction of cuticular waxes with lipid solvents.

The effect of wax components on cuticular transpiration-model experiments
Planta, 1967The evaporation of water through a plastic membrane coated with plant was (30-70 μg cm(2)) from grape berries or fractions thereof was determined. The hydrocarbon, alcohol and aldehyde fractions caused the highest reduction of evaporation. Their effect was identical to the complete wax or to mineral paraffin wax.

Composition of Cuticular Waxes on Osmunda regalis Fronds
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2000The chemical composition of rodlet-shaped wax crystals on fronds of Osmunda regalis was analyzed. In all, 139 compounds belonging to 14 homologous series were detected in the surface extract. They included typical plant wax constituents: alkanes (C25–C33), alkyl esters (C38–C50), primary alcohols (C22–C32), secondary alcohols (C27 and C29), ketones ...
