Laguncularia racemosa leaves indicate the presence of potentially toxic elements in mangroves
Scientific Reports, 2023 Brazilian mangroves have been severely impacted by metallurgical, petrochemical, pyrometallurgical smelters and other industrial activities. In Rio de Janeiro, mangroves are part of the Atlantic Rainforest now under the stress of high levels of ...

Wax Lipids from Leaf Surfaces of Some Common plants of Malaysia [PDF]
, 1998 Epicuticular wax lipids from leaves of some common plant species found in the Klang Valley, Malaysia were extracted into dichloromethane for analysis. Extracts were separated into hydrocarbon, carboxylic acid, ketone and alcohol fractions. The fractions

Identification and Characterization of Reduced Epicuticular Wax Mutants in Rice
Rice Science, 2015 Epicuticular wax forms the outermost protective barrier of the aerial surfaces of land plants, working in concert with other components of the plant cuticle to prevent uncontrolled loss of water and to provide protection against an array of external ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 243-253, March 2026.ABSTRACT Previous studies on Cydia pomonella eggs have demonstrated reliable egg adhesion to the leaves and fruits of various apple cultivars. In contrast to biological substrates, this study is focused on standardised synthetic substrates to measure egg pull‐off forces and determine adhesive strength, allowing for an unbiased comparison with other ...

The effect of shade on leaf characteristics of Mikania micrantha (Compositae) and their influence on retention of Imazapyr [PDF]
, 1995 Shading led to changes in the leaf histological characteristics of Mikania micrantha H.B.X., leaves at higher light intensity being thicker than those at lower light intensity. There was a significant increase in the area of spread of imazapyr droplets

Transcriptomic prey‐capture responses in convergently evolved carnivorous pitcher plants
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2559-2573, March 2026.Summary The Australian pitcher plant Cephalotus and the Asian pitcher plant Nepenthes exhibit striking morphological and functional similarities, serving as compelling examples of convergent evolution. Although trapping pitchers in both lineages represent some of the most elaborate leaf structures in angiosperms, it remains unknown whether their ...

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1778-1792, March 2026.ABSTRACT Kalmia procumbens (K. procumbens), a ubiquitous alpine dwarf shrub, thrives at high elevations, particularly on wind‐exposed sites. Plants on contrasting north‐ and southeast‐facing slopes at ~2237 m elevation exhibit differences in leaf colour and growth, suggesting acclimative strategies.
