Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Present‐day angiosperm plants produce a plethora of metabolites including pigments that serve for important functions such as photosynthesis, protection against light, attraction of pollinators, and defense against microbes and herbivores. However, little is known about phytochemical constituents of ancient angiosperms, their distribution in ...

Cuticle Structure in Relation to Chemical Composition: Re-assessing the Prevailing Model [PDF]
, 2015 The surface of most aerial plant organs is covered with a cuticle that provides protection against multiple stress factors including dehydration. Interest on the nature of this external layer dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and since then,

Memory in the wall: expanding our understanding of the roles of plant cell walls
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 56-72, January 2026.Summary The plant cell wall, while providing mechanical support to cells, also dynamically adjusts its composition and structure in response to cellular and environmental cues. Recent findings indicate that plants exposed to cold stress alter the composition of cell wall polysaccharides and that this altered status primes the plants to overcome future,
