Reflectance Spectroscopy for Non-Destructive Measurement and Genetic Analysis of Amounts and Types of Epicuticular Waxes on Onion Leaves [PDF]
Molecules, 2020 Epicuticular waxes on the surface of plant leaves are important for the tolerance to abiotic stresses and plant–parasite interactions. In the onion (Allium cepa L.), the variation for the amounts and types of epicuticular waxes is significantly ...

Vicariance Between Cercis siliquastrum L. and Ceratonia siliqua L. Unveiled by the Physical–Chemical Properties of the Leaves’ Epicuticular Waxes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Classically, vicariant phenomena have been essentially identified on the basis of biogeographical and ecological data. Here, we report unequivocal evidences that demonstrate that a physical–chemical characterization of the epicuticular waxes of the ...

Expression of ovate family protein 8 affects epicuticular waxes accumulation in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Botanical Studies, 2018 Background Transcription factors could regulate multiple aspects of plants growth and development, which is significant to plants. Ovate family proteins (OFPs) that are named due to contain OVATE domain, a 70-AA C-terminal conserved domain from the ...

The maize glossy13 gene, cloned via BSR-Seq and Seq-walking encodes a putative ABC transporter required for the normal accumulation of epicuticular waxes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Aerial plant surfaces are covered by epicuticular waxes that among other purposes serve to control water loss. Maize glossy mutants originally identified by their "glossy" phenotypes exhibit alterations in the accumulation of epicuticular waxes.

Classification and terminology of plant epicuticular waxes [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1998 Plant cuticles are covered by waxes with considerable ultrastructural and chemical diversity. Many of them are of great systematic significance. Waxes are an essential structural element of the surface and of fundamental functional and ecological importance for the interaction between plants and their environment.

Plant Epicuticular Waxes: Chemistry, Form, Self-Assembly and Function
Natural Product Communications, 2006 Plant epicuticular waxes represent the outermost boundary layer of the majority of land plants. Based on their micromorphology and chemical composition they form a multifunctional surface.

Inhibition of Epicuticular Wax Deposition on Cabbage by Ethofumesate [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1978 The weight of epicuticular wax on the surface of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. Capitata ;Market Prize') leaves was reduced by soil treatments of ethofumesate (2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranyl methanesulfonate) and EPTC (S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate).

Perinaphthenone phototransformation in a model of leaf epicuticular waxes [PDF]
Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 2013 Perinaphthenone (1H-phenalen-1-one, PN) is a reference photosensitizer producing singlet oxygen with a quantum yield close to one in a large variety of solvents. It is also the basic structure of a class of phototoxic phytoalexins. In this work, the PN photoreactivity was studied for the first time in a paraffinic wax, used as model of leaf ...

Drought induced metabolic shifts and water loss mechanisms in canola: role of cysteine, phenylalanine and aspartic acid [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceDrought conditions severely curtail the ability of plants to accumulate biomass due to the closure of stomata and the decrease of photosynthetic assimilation rate. Additionally, there is a shift in the plant’s metabolic processes toward the production of
