Epicuticular Wax Crystals of Wollemia nobilis: Morphology and Chemical Composition [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 The morphology of the epicuticular leaf waxes of Wollemia nobilis (Araucariaceae) was studied with special emphasis on the relationship between the microstructure of epicuticular wax crystals and their chemical composition. Wollemia nobilis is a unique coniferous tree of the family Araucariaceae and is of very high scientific value as it is the sole ...

The impact of drought on wheat leaf cuticle properties [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2017 Background The plant cuticle is the outermost layer covering aerial tissues and is composed of cutin and waxes. The cuticle plays an important role in protection from environmental stresses and glaucousness, the bluish-white colouration of plant surfaces

Cuticle Structure in Relation to Chemical Composition: Re-assessing the Prevailing Model [PDF]
, 2016 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,

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]
, 2020 The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

Equisetum species show uniform epicuticular wax structures but diverse composition patterns [PDF]
AoB PLANTS, 2011 Only few data on the epicuticular waxes (EWs) of horsetails are available. This contribution therefore focuses on the wax micromorphology and chemical composition of Equisetum species of the subgenera Equisetum and Hippochaete.Distribution patterns and structural details of EW on the shoots were studied by scanning electron microscopy. After extraction
