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.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Tcrit (critical temperature) may reflect early, adaptive photoprotective downregulation of PSII in Quercus ilex, whereas in Acer campestre and Fraxinus ornus, it may more closely correspond to the onset of thermal PSII vulnerability. Abstract Increasing temperatures impair photosynthetic apparatus by damaging photosystem II (PSII) efficiency.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Plant epicuticular waxes play vital roles in mitigating environmental stressors. This study chemically and morphologically characterises foliar epicuticular waxes across monocot and dicot grain crops, identifying broad inter‐ and intra‐species differences in wax biosynthetic strategies.

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Winterkill is a major challenge on golf course putting greens in climates that support cool‐season turfgrass species, including annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). The cuticle is a critical protective outer layer of above‐ground plant organs, but its role in the winter resistance of cool‐season grasses ...

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8014-8033, November 2026.ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...
