Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8014-8033, November 2026.ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.ABSTRACT Introgression between genetically distinct populations generates variation that may promote adaptation to diverse environmental conditions. In the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the forest‐associated subspecies Aedes aegypti formosus (Aaf) underwent a domestication process approximately 5000 years ago, giving rise to the globally invasive, human ...
