Reflectance Spectroscopy for Non-Destructive Measurement and Genetic Analysis of Amounts and Types of Epicuticular Waxes on Onion Leaves

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Epicuticular waxes on the surface of plant leaves are important for the tolerance to abiotic stresses and plant–parasite interactions. In the onion (Allium cepa L.), the variation for the amounts and types of epicuticular waxes is significantly ...

Effects of Different Shade Treatments on the Epidermal Wax Deposition of Hosta Genotypes with Different Glaucousness of Leaf Surface

open access: yesHorticulturae
Epidermal wax is strategically situated at the interface between plants and air; therefore, it plays a key role in plants’ interactions with their surroundings. It is also unstable and susceptible to light intensity.

Chemical investigation of epicuticular wax obtained from Euphorbia milii leaves

open access: yesSN Applied Sciences, 2022
Epicuticular wax analysis was performed on the leaves of chloroform extract obtained from the plant Euphorbia milii (‘Christ’s plant’). Aim of the study is to identify the chemical constituents and to discover how they were distributed within the cuticle.

Amounts and Types of Epicuticular Leaf Waxes among Onion Accessions Selected for Reduced Damage by Onion Thrips

open access: yesJournal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2019
Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) is the main insect pest of onion (Allium cepa), and feeding damage routinely causes serious yield losses. Lower amounts of epicuticular waxes on onion leaves have been associated with fewer onion thrips and less feeding ...

Analysis of a Blumeria graminis-Secreted Lipase Reveals the Importance of Host Epicuticular Wax Components for Fungal Adhesion and Development

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009
The biotrophic powdery mildew fungus Blumeria graminis releases extracellular materials to the surface of fungal infection structures that facilitate anchoring them to hydrophobic plant surfaces prior to infection; however, the chemistry of fungal ...

Identification and Characterization of Reduced Epicuticular Wax Mutants in Rice

open access: yesRice Science, 2015
Epicuticular wax forms the outermost protective barrier of the aerial surfaces of land plants, working in concert with other components of the plant cuticle to prevent uncontrolled loss of water and to provide protection against an array of external ...

Surfactant-induced enhancement of droplet adhesion in superhydrophobic soybean (Glycine max L.) leaves

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2017
This study performed with soybean (Glycine max L.), one of the most important crops for human and animal nutrition, demonstrates that changes in the leaf surface structure can increase the adhesion of applied droplets, even on superhydrophobic leaves, to
