Project ChemicalBlooms: Collaborating with citizen scientists to survey the chemical diversity and phylogenetic distribution of plant epicuticular wax blooms [PDF]

Plant Direct
Plants use chemistry to overcome diverse challenges. A particularly striking chemical trait that some plants possess is the ability to synthesize massive amounts of epicuticular wax that accumulates on the plant's surfaces as a white coating visible to ...

Molecular genetic and biochemical evidence for adaptive evolution of leaf abaxial epicuticular wax crystals in the genus Lithocarpus (Fagaceae) [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Leaf epicuticular wax is an important functional trait for physiological regulation and pathogen defense. This study tests how selective pressure may have forced the trait of leaf abaxial epicuticular wax crystals (LAEWC) and whether the ...

Do the edge effects influence epicuticular wax production in Vismia guianensis (Aubl.) Choisy (Hypericaceae)?

Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável, 2023
Forest fragmentation leads to various environmental problems. It causes edge effects that can decrease biodiversity, promote the growth of lianas, and affect the production of epicuticular wax.

Response of photosynthesis, the xanthophyll cycle, and wax in Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata L.) seedlings and saplings under high light conditions [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
In order to understand the adaptative changes of the Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidate L.) to high light conditions, this study investigated gas-exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll, and the impact of epicuticular wax on the gas-exchange and ...

Leaf Cuticular Transpiration Barrier Organization in Tea Tree Under Normal Growth Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle plays a major role in restricting nonstomatal water transpiration in plants. There is therefore a long-standing interest to understand the structure and function of the plant cuticle.

Estimation of the solubility parameters of model plant surfaces and agrochemicals: a valuable tool for understanding plant surface interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Background Most aerial plant parts are covered with a hydrophobic lipid-rich cuticle, which is the interface between the plant organs and the surrounding environment.

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]

, 2020
The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.
