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 ...

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.

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.

Scratching the surface: The diversity and roles of triterpenoids in plant cuticular waxes [PDF]
The cuticle and cuticular waxes play vital roles as the interface between a plant and its environment. Cuticular waxes are composed of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and their derivatives as well as triterpenoids, which are specialized metabolites.

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.

Function of Cuticular Waxes in Plant Response to Wounding [PDF]
, 2022 Neutral lipids, such as triacylglycerol (TAG) and wax are essential metabolites for plants. TAG is the most abundant storage compound in all eukaryotes. It plays an important role in plant germination but also in lipid homeostasis upon stress. Wax is a mixture of aliphatic compounds, which all together form a hydrophobic film, covering all aerial parts
