What was a mortarium used for? Organic residues and cultural change in Iron Age and Roman Britain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The Romans brought the mortarium to Britain in the first century AD, and there has long been speculation on its actual purpose. Using analysis of the residues trapped in the walls of these ‘kitchen blenders’ and comparing them with Iron Age and Roman ...

Wettability and interception in relationship with the seasonal changes on the Fagus sylvatica leaf surface

open access: yesLeśne Prace Badawcze, 2017
Interception is the amount of water held on the canopy at the end of a rainfall event. Rainfall interception and contact angle of raindrops on the surface of plants has a significant meaning in ecohydrology.

Assessing Moisture Content of Coolstored Blueberries During Water Loss Scenarios Using Hyperspectral Imaging

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Water loss is a key factor affecting the postharvest quality and shelf life of blueberries, and storage conditions (humidity and time) play an important role in regulating water retention capacity of stored berries. This study aims to explore the variation of moisture content (MC) in blueberries under different storage humidity and storage time ...

Waterproofing in Arabidopsis: Following Phenolics and Lipids In situ by Confocal Raman Microscopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Waterproofing of the aerial organs of plants imposed a big evolutionary step during the colonization of the terrestrial environment. The main plant polymers responsible of water repelling are lipids and lignin, which play also important roles in the ...

Morphology and chemical composition of Taiwan oil millet (Eccoilopus formosanus) epicuticular wax

open access: yesPlanta
Taiwan oil millet has two types of epicuticular wax: platelet wax composed primarily of octacosanol and filament wax constituted essentially by the singular compound of octacosanoic acid. Taiwan oil millet (TOM-Eccoilopus formosanus) is an orphan crop cultivated by the Taiwan indigenous people.

Seasonal Variation In The Composition Of Epicuticular Waxes Of Quevcus Robur Leaves

open access: yesZeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1992
The epicuticular leaf waxes of Quercus robur were analyzed continuously over a two years vegetation period with preparation every week from April to November. The folded leaflets in buds have waxes quite different in yield and composition from those of mature leaves.

Ustilago maydis Phosphatidic Acid and Phosphatidylserine‐Targeting Secreted Lipase Lip3 Is Involved in Pathogenesis

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ustilago maydis secreted lipase, Lip3 targets PA and PS and alkalinises the host apoplast, thus promoting virulence. Loss of Lip3 results in reduced apoplastic pH and decreased pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Lipases constitute important virulence factors. By targeting specific lipids involved in various cellular processes, lipases regulate growth, development,
