Duvatrienediols in cuticular wax of Burley tobacco leaves

Journal of Lipid Research, 1976
4, 8, 13-Duvatriene-1, 3-diol diastereoisomers have been identified in the cuticular wax of fresh Burley tobacco leaves. Their structures were determined by gas-liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy. Butylboronic acid derivatives of the alpha, beta-isomers were separated by gas-liquid chromatography and ...

Changes in wax composition but not amount enhance cuticular transpiration

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2023
AbstractThis study focuses on the role of the qualitative leaf wax composition in modulating the cuticular water loss using a Populus × canescens cer6 mutant line, which accumulates C34–C46 wax ester dimers and is reduced in wax monomers >C24. The two literature‐based hypotheses to be tested were the importance of the amount of wax esters and the ...

Tubular epicuticular wax is an important trait for limiting non-stomatal water loss from leaves in several Dianthus species

Ornamental Plant Research, 2022
Cuticular wax plays an important role in plant drought tolerance by limiting non-stomatal water loss and has a diverse micromorphology and composition.

Cuticular wax composition of ‘Celeste’ and ‘Somerset’ cherry fruit [PDF]

Acta Horticulturae, 2017
The cuticular layer plays an important role in protecting fruits against water loss and invasive microorganisms and insects, both during on-tree development and postharvest storage. There is also experimental evidence that cuticle composition and structure may be a relevant factor accounting for firmness and other textural attributes.

Mechanically Mutable Matrices: A Hierarchical Investigation of Decellularized Sea Cucumber Collagen as an Adaptable Scaffold Material

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sea cucumber mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) is a remarkable collagen‐based material which can rapidly undergo large changes in stiffness through transiently bound effector proteins. Here, we investigate the hierarchical structure and mechanical response of MCT from Cucumaria frondosa across length scales with a wide range of methods, also exploring ...

Cuticular wax biosynthesis as a way of inducing drought resistance [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011
Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to cope with drought or water deficit conditions, such as stomatal closure, maintenance of root growth and water uptake, and biosynthesis of osmoprotectants. Accumulation of cuticular waxes also contributes to drought resistance.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Advances in Biosynthesis, Regulation, and Function of Apple Cuticular Wax

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
A layer of cuticular wax is deposited on the surface of terrestrial plants, which reduces the damage caused by environmental stress and maintains growth in a relatively stable internal environment. Apple cuticular wax is an important part of the fruit epidermis that plays an essential role in apple development, storage, and adaptation to environmental ...

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
