Ecological drivers and phylogenetic patterns of leaf minimum conductance variability in vascular plants

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

Direct Depolymerization Coupled to Liquid Extraction Surface Analysis-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for the Characterization of the Surface of Plant Tissues [PDF]

, 2019
The cuticle, the outermost layer covering the epidermis of most aerial organs of land plants, can have a heterogeneous composition even on the surface of the same organ.

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

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 ...

New insights into the properties of pubescent surfaces: peach fruit as model [PDF]

, 2011
The surface of peach (Prunus persica ‘Calrico’) is covered by a dense indumentum, which may serve various protective purposes. With the aim of relating structure to function, the chemical composition, morphology, and hydrophobicity of the peach skin was ...

Hydrophobic trichome layers and epicuticular wax powders in Bromeliaceae [PDF]

American Journal of Botany, 2001
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

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
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

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.
