Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Waxes are critical in limiting non-stomatal water loss in higher terrestrial plants by making up the limiting barrier for water diffusion across cuticles. Using a differential extraction protocol, we investigated the influence of various wax fractions on

Cuticular Waxes and Flavonol Aglycones of Mistletoes
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2003 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
Bio-Protocol, 2013 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.

Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2021 Fruit extracts of the Chaenomeles species are a rich source of compounds having health-promoting properties, while their distribution between the species and cultivars varies significantly depending on both genotype and environmental threats.

Cholesterol in the Cuticular Wax of Boophilus microplus [PDF]
Nature, 1969 TRACES of substances giving colour reactions typical of sterols have been found in the cuticle and cuticular wax of several arthropods1–6, but they have not been reported from ticks7,8. I have now shown that both free and esterified cholesterol occur in the wax of Boophilus microplus, and I have measured the quantity of each present.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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 ...

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 ...

The morphology and chemical composition of cuticular waxes in some Brazilian liverworts and mosses
, 2021 The cuticle, by ensuring protection against water loss, was a key innovation in plant terrestrialisation. This layer is characterised by the cutin matrix embedded and covered with cuticular waxes.

A role for the cuticular waxes in the environmental control of stomatal development [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2002 SummaryThe mechanism of guard cell development is currently attracting much interest. The recent use of Arabidopsis mutant plants has shed new light on the pathways that regulate the development and patterning of specialized cells such as guard cells, trichomes and roots hairs within the plant epidermis.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Pivotal barrier properties of the hydrophobic plant cuticle covering aerial plant surfaces depend on its physicochemical composition. Among plant species and organs, compounds of this boundary layer between the plant interior and the environment vary ...
