Absorption and translocation of 14C‐propiconazole associated with two adjuvants in young coffee plants

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Experimental workflow evaluating 14C‐propiconazole absorption and translocation in Coffea arabica with two biodegradable adjuvants, quantified at six post‐application time points using radioscanner and liquid scintillation spectrometry. Abstract BACKGROUND This study evaluated the absorption, translocation and distribution of 14C‐propiconazole applied ...

Genetics and drought reaction of epicuticular wax mutants in Sorghum bicolor

, 1996
Epicuticular wax has long been associated with drought tolerance in sorghum. Chemical mutagenesis of two drought resistant sorghum cultivars was used to develop sets of isogenic epicuticular wax lines. These include bloomless mutants with no visible wax,

Effect of Sodium Carbonate Pretreatment on Drying Characteristics and Cuticular Wax of Lycium barbarum L. [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to investigate the effects of Na2CO3 pretreatment on the drying time, cuticular wax micromorphology and wax composition of mature goji ...

Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

Flowering Plant Species Differ in Their Suitability for Orius strigicollis (Poppius): Effects on Plant Preference, Longevity and Oviposition Under Laboratory Conditions

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering plant species can support pest control by providing resources for natural enemies. Polyphagous predatory species of the genus Orius occur in many parts of the world and are widely used as biological control agents. They feed on several common pest species and can additionally utilize plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

Fine mapping of a novel wax crystal-sparse leaf3 gene in rice

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
Cuticular wax plays an important role in protecting plants against water loss and pathogen infection and in the adaptations to environmental stresses. The genetic mechanism of the biosynthesis and accumulation of epicuticular wax in rice remains largely ...

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

Molecules, 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 ...

The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

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

Horticulturae
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.

MICROMORPHOLOGICAL ASPECTS REGARDING THE LEAVES ON SOME ROSES WITH EMPHASIS ON SECRETORY GLANDS [PDF]

Journal of Plant Development, 2010
The multicellular glands, the epicuticular wax and the tector hairs observed on the leaves are influenced usually by genetic constitution.The paper investigating 8 genetically related varieties: ‘Foc de Tabara’, ’Luchian’ ‘Paprika’, ‘Coup De Foudre ...
