Cuticular Waxes and Flavonol Aglycones of Mistletoes
Abstract Cuticular waxes of Viscum album subspecies and of V. cruciatum have been examined for their micromorphology and chemical composition. Wax crystalloids occur preferably as irregular platelets and rodlets, while deviant structures are found in small areas. Among the triterpenoids forming the wax layer, oleanolic acid is prevailing

Wax Analysis of Stem and Rosette Leaves in Arabidopsis thaliana
The primary aerial surfaces of all land plants are coated by a lipidic cuticle, which restricts non-stomatal water loss and protects the plant from pathogens, herbivores, and ultraviolet radiation.

The plant cuticle, as a lipid membrane covering aerial plant surfaces, functions primarily against uncontrolled water loss. Herein, the cuticle chemical composition and the transpiration of wampee fruit (Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels) at the green ...

In vivo chemical and structural analysis of plant cuticular waxes using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy. [PDF]
The cuticle is a ubiquitous, predominantly waxy layer on the aerial parts of higher plants that fulfils a number of essential physiological roles, including regulating evapotranspiration, light reflection, and heat tolerance, control of development, and ...

Increased cuticular wax deposition does not change residual foliar transpiration [PDF]
AbstractThe effect of contrasting environmental growth conditions (in vitro tissue culture, ex vitro acclimatisation, climate chamber, greenhouse and outdoor) on leaf development, cuticular wax composition, and foliar transpiration of detached leaves of the Populus × canescens clone 84 K were investigated.

The impact of drought on wheat leaf cuticle properties [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The plant cuticle is the outermost layer covering aerial tissues and is composed of cutin and waxes. The cuticle plays an important role in protection from environmental stresses and glaucousness, the bluish-white colouration of plant ...

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