Variation in the impact of stem scar and cuticle on water loss in highbush blueberry fruit argue for the use of water permeance as a selection criterion in breeding [PDF]
The role of fruit scar on water loss from fresh harvested, fully blue highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit was studied on three germplasm lines from each of three half-sib families at University of Talca, Chile. The stem scar of half of the

Cholesterol in the Cuticular Wax of Boophilus microplus [PDF]
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.

Drought stress modulates cuticular wax composition of the grape berry [PDF]
AbstractDrought events are a major challenge for many horticultural crops, including grapes, which are often cultivated in dry and warm climates. It is not understood how the cuticle contributes to the grape berry response to water deficit (WD); furthermore, the cuticular waxes and the related biosynthetic pathways are poorly characterized in this ...

Duvatrienediols in cuticular wax of Burley tobacco leaves
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 ...

Waterproofing in Arabidopsis: Following Phenolics and Lipids In situ by Confocal Raman Microscopy [PDF]
Waterproofing of the aerial organs of plants imposed a big evolutionary step during the colonization of the terrestrial environment. The main plant polymers responsible of water repelling are lipids and lignin, which play also important roles in the ...

Reaction of Coniferous Forest Vegetation to Particulate Deposition Under Alkaline Pressure [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine direction, rate and character of the changes in coniferous forest communities caused by anthropogenic stress factors (alkaline emission and imission) changing with time.
