Changes in cuticle compositions and crystal structure of ‘Bingtang’ sweet orange fruits (Citrus sinensis) during storage

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Properties, 2018
Changes in composition and structure of orange cuticle during storage at 4°C or 25°C for 40 days were investigated. The total epicuticular wax content of fruits increased during storage at 4°C for 30 days and then decreased as storage time prolonged to ...

Epicuticular Wax and Cuticular Resistance in Rice

open access: yes
High leaf cuticular resistance has been reported as a component adaptation of plants to drought prone regions, Experiments were conducted to evaluate and characterize the role of epicuticular wax as a component of cuticular resistance to water vapor loss

A simple method for determination of abaxial and adaxial epicuticular wax loads in intact leaves of Sorghum bicolor L.

open access: yes, 1993
A vise-grip was modified to make a simple device to extract epicuticular wax separately from adaxial and abaxial surfaces of sorghum leaf blades. Epicuticular wax load was estimated at three leaf positions in two sorghum lines using this method and the ...

Aliphatic components of the epicuticular wax of developing saskatoon (Amelanchier alnifolia) fruit

open access: yes, 1996
The epicuticular wax of saskatoon fruit (Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt. cv. Smoky) was analyzed at four stages of maturity. Total wax per unit surface area varied during fruit development, with a net decline from the youngest to the most ripe stage ...

Effect of terminal water stress on leaf epicuticular wax load, residual transpiration and grain yield in barley

open access: yes, 2010
The effect of drought on barley leaf epicuticular wax load (EWL), residual transpiration rates (RTR) and grain yield was examined by subjecting 12 barley genotypes to controlled irrigation and terminal water stress conditions.

Nanoscale Structural Organization of Plant Epicuticular Wax Probed by Atomic Force Microscope Infrared Spectroscopy

open access: yes, 2019
The cuticle covers external surfaces of plants, protecting them from biotic and abiotic stress factors. Epicuticular wax on the outer surface of the cuticle modifies reflectance and water loss from plant surfaces and has direct and indirect effects on ...
