Epicuticular wax variation in ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana

Phytochemistry, 1997
Quantification of the epicuticular wax from the stems of 40 ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana showed a two-fold range in total wax load that was not correlated to known abiotic characteristics of the ecotype's origin of collection. Chemical analysis of these ecotypes revealed similar epicuticular wax profiles for all ecotypes except CT-1.

Leaf Epicuticular Waxes

Science, 1967
The external surface of the higher plants comprises a cuticular layer covered by a waxy deposit. This deposit is believed to play a major part in such phenomena as the water balance of plants and the behavior of agricultural sprays. The wax contains a wide range of organic compounds.

Epicuticular waxes of Sedum series Rupestria

Phytochemistry, 1994
Epicuticular waxes from 55 plants of the seven species of Sedum series Rupestria and four artificial hybrids have been examined by GC and GC-MS. The taxa were S. amplexicaule, S. forsterianum, S. montanum ssp. montanum, S. montanum ssp. orientale, S. ochroleucum, S. pruinatum, S. rupestre ssp. erectum, S. rupestre ssp. rupestre, S.

Analysis of Epicuticular Waxes

1991
The plant surfaces which are exposed to the atmosphere, such as leaves, stems, fruits, and petals, are covered with a hydrophobic, water repellent substance called wax, of which the leaf waxes have received most attention. The outer surface of leaf epidermis is covered with a substance called cutin which is usually impregnated with wax; together they ...

Epicuticular wax of olive leaves

Phytochemistry, 1992
Abstract The main components of the chloroform-soluble epicuticular waxes from olive tree leaves (Olea europaea cvs Coratina and Cipressino), were triterpene oleanolic and betulinic acids and triterpenols sitosterol, α- and β-amyrin, uvaol and erythrodiol. The waxes of both cultivars contain the ubiquitous wax classes of alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes,

Epicuticular Wax Ultrastructure

1998
Over the past decades, systematically relevant information on structure and composition of the plant cuticle based on SEM studies have been published (survey in Barthlott 1990). The cuticles of the majority of higher plants are covered with epicuticular wax secretions. They often cause a glaucous appearance.

Epicuticular wax of Juniperus scopulorum

Phytochemistry, 1981
Abstract Epicuticular wax from Juniperus scopulorum contains hydrocarbons (16%), esters (11%), free acids (1%), nonacosan-10-ol (27%), nonacosane-diols (7%) and estolides (16%). The major hydrocarbon is tritriacontane; the principal esters are C 34 –C 46 , mainly octyl and decyl esters of C 28 -C 36 acids; and the diols consist of nonacosane-4,10 ...

Epicuticular wax of Panicum virgatum

Phytochemistry, 1980
Abstract Leaf and stem wax of Panicum virgatum contains hydrocarbons (4%), esters (3%), free acids (2%), free alcohols (1%), triterpene alcohols (2%), β-diketones (69%) and hydroxy β-diketones (6%). Principal free alcohols range in chain length from C 26 to C 32 .

Ultrastructure and origin of epicuticular wax tubes

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1974
Coiled wax ribbons have been found intermingled among the long, thin tubes characteristic of some barley and wheat cuticles. An analysis of the structure of these wax ribbons and their relationship to the tubes has led to the following hypothesis to explain the origin of the broad spectrum of observed epicuticular wax structures.
