Toward in Vivo Chemical Imaging of Epicuticular Waxes   [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2010
Abstract Epicuticular waxes, which are found on the outer surface of plant cuticles, are difficult to study in vivo. To monitor the growth, development, and structural alterations of epicuticular wax layers, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) might be used.

A viscoelastic deadly fluid in carnivorous pitcher plants [PDF]

, 2007
Background : The carnivorous plants of the genus Nepenthes, widely distributed in the Asian tropics, rely mostly on nutrients derived from arthropods trapped in their pitcher-shaped leaves and digested by their enzymatic fluid. The genus exhibits a great

What was a mortarium used for? Organic residues and cultural change in Iron Age and Roman Britain. [PDF]

, 2011
The Romans brought the mortarium to Britain in the first century AD, and there has long been speculation on its actual purpose. Using analysis of the residues trapped in the walls of these ‘kitchen blenders’ and comparing them with Iron Age and Roman ...

Changes in Cuticle Components and Morphology of ‘Satsuma’ Mandarin (Citrus unshiu) during Ambient Storage and Their Potential Role on Penicillium digitatum Infection

Molecules, 2020
To elucidate the role of fruit cuticle in fungal infection, changes in cuticle composition and morphology of ‘Satsuma’ mandarin during ambient (at 25 °C) storage and their role in Penicillium digitatum infection were investigated ...

Resistance mechanisms in collard green genotypes to Plutella xylostella: role of physical and morphological traits. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Resistance to Plutella xylostella in collard greens is mediated by antixenosis and antibiosis, associated with traits such as leaf wax, hardness, and color. Genotypes showed strong resistance potential, supporting their use in breeding and integrated pest management strategies. Abstract BACKGROUND The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera:

371 TRITERPENES IN GRAPEFRUIT EPICUTICULAR WAX [PDF]

HortScience, 1994
The purpose of this study was to identify compounds in the wax of fruit obtained from different canopy positions for possible relationships to chilling injury development. Both exterior and interior canopy grapefruit wax extracts were separated by thin layer chromatography into four lipid classes: alkanes, aldehydes, linear alcohols and triterpenes ...

Effect of Drought Stress on Epicuticular Wax Load in Peanut Genotypes [PDF]

, 2015
The changes in epicuticular wax load (EWL) and the leaf temperature in two peanut genotypes such as JL-24 (drought susceptible) and K-9 (drought tolerant) was studied under drought stress and its recovery. The drought stress was induced at different soil
