Cuticular wax of wheat

Planta, 1980
n-Alkanes, esters, aldehydes, free alcohols, β-diketones and hydroxy-β-diketones were found to be the lipid components of the cuticular waxes of common wheat Chinese Spring (Triticum aestivum L.). The ditelosomic lines 7A-L and 7D-S showed a dramatic decrease in the amount of β-diketones and hydroxy β-diketones which are reduced to traces.

Cuticular waxes on eceriferum mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana

Phytochemistry, 2001
We present cuticular wax chemical profiles for the leaves and stems of Arabidopsis wildtype Landsberg erecta and eleven isogenic eceriferum mutants: cer5, cer10 to cer15, and cer17 to cer20. These cer mutants have wax profiles that are different from those of wildtype in chemical chain length distribution, amount per chemical class, and/or total wax ...

Studies on plant cuticular waxes-IV

Phytochemistry, 1968
Abstract 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.

In situ assembly of cuticular wax

Planta, 1976
Cytochemical reactions within the primary cuticle (cutinised layer) indicate that the lamellae are formed from polar lipids. The electron microscope shows that the lamellae are involved in wax formation and it is suggested that the polar lipids provide in situ precursors for the synthesis of cuticular wax.

Epicuticular Wax and Cuticular Resistance in Rice

Physiologia Plantarum, 1979
AbstractHigh leaf cuticular resistance has been reported as a component adaptation of plants to drought prone regions, Experiments were conducted to evaluate and characterize the role of epicuticular wax as a component of cuticular resistance to water vapor loss from rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaves.

Esters of Picea abies needle cuticular wax

Phytochemistry, 1995
Abstract A new class of wax ester has been isolated from the needle cuticular wax of Picea abies . Identification of 2-methyl-but-1-en-4-yl triacontanoate, -dotriacontanoate, -tetratriacontanoate and -hexatriacontanoate was carried out by gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, 1 H NMR and chemcial studies.

Sealing Plant Surfaces: Cuticular Wax Formation by Epidermal Cells

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2008
The vital importance of plant surface wax in protecting tissue from environmental stresses is reflected in the huge commitment of epidermal cells to cuticle formation. During cuticle deposition, a massive flux of lipids occurs from the sites of lipid synthesis in the plastid and the endoplasmic reticulum to the plant surface.

An investigation of sugar‐cane cuticular wax

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1957
AbstractThe 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 ...

Arabidopsis cuticular waxes: Advances in synthesis, export and regulation

Progress in Lipid Research, 2013
Cuticular 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 ...

Composition of Cuticular Waxes on Osmunda regalis Fronds

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2000
The 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 ...
