Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade‐Offs in Plant Drought Responses

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

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 ...

Sclerophyllous structural and chemical traits of mite‐induced galls on Crinodendron patagua (Elaeocarpaceae) leaves

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...

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

Journal 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 ...

Chemical investigation of epicuticular wax obtained from Euphorbia milii leaves

SN 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.

Efficacy of Zeolite and Kaolin in the Control of Cacopsylla pyri (L.) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) and Compatibility With Its Natural Antagonist Anthocoris nemoralis (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1080-1087, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri is a major pest of European pear orchards, responsible for significant yield losses. Its management is increasingly challenged by restrictions on synthetic active ingredients, resistance development, and the shift towards sustainable production systems.

Coinoculation of Bradyrhizobium and Azospirillum to Mitigate the Effects of Drought Stress in Soybean Plants

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum have been used to mitigate negative effects of drought stress. Since there is few information on interaction of new strains of A. brasilense and soil water status, we evaluated the effects of coinoculation of A. brasilense strains (Ab‐V5/Ab‐V6 and HM053) on soybean plants grown either with (40% of field capacity) or ...

Evaluating the efficacy of tagging adhesives for insect tracking

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 515-521, August 2026.
Two‐part epoxy resin delivered the strongest RFID tag adhesion on carabid beetles, exceeding polyvinyl acetate, cosmetic latex and cyanoacrylate adhesives. Adhesive performance was consistent across Harpalus, Leistus and Poecilus; species effects were non‐significant, supporting a broadly applicable protocol for carabid RFID tagging studies.
