Epicuticular Wax Compositions of Predominant Conifers of Western North America

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1999
The compositions of epicuticular waxes from conifers constituting the predom inant species of western North America were determined by GC and GC-MS. The primary components identified include alkanes, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, phytosterols, triterpenoids and wax esters.

Amounts and Types of Epicuticular Leaf Waxes among Onion Accessions Selected for Reduced Damage by Onion Thrips

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 ...

Response of Acer saccharum seedlings to elevated O3 and CO2 concentrations [PDF]

, 2005
The effects of three times ambient [O3] (3x) and high [CO2] (650 µL L-1 CO2) alone and in combination were studied on 2-yr-old sugar maple (Acer saccharum) seedlings for 86 days in open top chambers.
