ABSTRACT The synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients in medicinal plants are distributed in specific organs, tissues, and cell types, which are important for the exploitation of medicinal plants. However, the fine distribution of active ingredients is difficult to know. Here, the system of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) integrated with single‐

Cuticle Structure in Relation to Chemical Composition: Re-assessing the Prevailing Model [PDF]
The surface of most aerial plant organs is covered with a cuticle that provides protection against multiple stress factors including dehydration. Interest on the nature of this external layer dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and since then,

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 ...

Chemical composition and water permeability of fruit and leaf cuticles of Olea europaea L. [PDF]
The plant cuticle, protecting against uncontrolled water loss, covers olive (Olea europaea) fruits and leaves. The present study describes the organ-specific chemical composition of the cuticular waxes and the cutin and compares three developmental ...

BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

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

Hydrophobic trichome layers and epicuticular wax powders in Bromeliaceae [PDF]
The distinctive foliar trichome of Bromeliaceae has promoted the evolution of an epiphytic habit in certain taxa by allowing the shoot to assume a significant role in the uptake of water and mineral nutrients. Despite the profound ecophysiological and taxonomic importance of this epidermal structure, the functions of nonabsorbent trichomes in remaining

AaSIZ1‐Mediated SUMOylation of AaMYB31 Positively Regulates Freezing Tolerance in Actinidia arguta
ABSTRACT Several studies revealed that wax accumulation enhances plant tolerance to cold stress. However, the molecular regulation mechanism of wax synthesis under cold stress is still unclear in Actinidia arguta, a hardy kiwifruit species. Here, we found that cold stress significantly induces wax accumulation in Actinidia arguta leaves, which is ...

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.

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 ...
