Epicuticular Wax on Goldenweed (Isocomaspp.) Leaves: Variation with Species and Season

open access: yes, 1981
Large quantities of viscous, non-crystalline epicuticular waxes were observed on leaves of three goldenweed (Isocoma) species. Based on weights of residues from single 15-s chloroform extractions, wax on leaves of field-grown plants of the least ...

Analysis of the Compositional Variation in the Epicuticular Wax Layer of Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

open access: yes, 2013
Epicuticular waxes form a layer on the outer surface of all land plants and play a fundamental role in their interaction with the environment. Development of a rapid and accurate method for the characterization of these waxes could allow the use of wax ...

Anti-botrytis activity in epicuticular waxes of young grape berries of Vitis vinifera (Pinot noir)

open access: yesOENO One, 1996
The susceptibility of the grape berries against Botrytis cinerea was known as a relation with their phenological state : young grapes are resistant while mature grapes are highly sensible.

Wax Patterns, Textural Properties, and Quality Attributes of Two Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Cultivars during Storage

open access: yesHortScience
Two eggplant cultivars (Brigitte and Dalong) were stored under ambient conditions for 8 days to examine the postharvest quality and shelf life. Results indicated that the respiration rate, firmness and springiness, and nutritional quality of both ...

Impact of cell shape in hierarchically structured plant surfaces on the attachment of male Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata)

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2012
Plant surfaces showing hierarchical structuring are frequently found in plant organs such as leaves, petals, fruits and stems. In our study we focus on the level of cell shape and on the level of superimposed microstructuring, leading to hierarchical ...
