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.

Leaf Cuticular Transpiration Barrier Organization in Tea Tree Under Normal Growth Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle plays a major role in restricting nonstomatal water transpiration in plants. There is therefore a long-standing interest to understand the structure and function of the plant cuticle.

Response of Commelina erecta L. to glyphosate formulations, and role of starch and waxes in glyphosate sensitivity

Ecología Austral, 2022
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two formulations of glyphosate on adult plants and seedlings of Commelina erecta L., and to determine whether stem starch storage and epicuticular waxes of leaves are involved in plant sensitivity to ...

Cuticular wax composition of mature leaves of species and hybrids of the genus Prunus differing in resistance to clasterosporium disease

Biosystems Diversity, 2020
The interaction of a host plant with pathogen implies an extremely complex process involving the outer waxy layer of the cuticle, cutin, cell membrane, and intracellular structures. However, the initial contact between plants and pathogens takes place in

Physical and Chemical Traits of Grape Varieties Influence Drosophila suzukii Preferences and Performance

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle-covered surface forms the interface between plant parts, including fruits, and their environment. The physical and chemical properties of fruit surfaces profoundly influence plant-frugivore interactions by shaping the susceptibility and ...

Monitoring the damage to epicuticular waxes at silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) in the changing air pollution spectrum of the Ore Mountains

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2011
The paper deals with the study of damage to the assimilatory apparatus of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) using the study of changes of epicuticular waxes in the period 1997 to 2009. During the period, changes in the air pollution spectrum occurred in

Identities of and Phenotypic Variation for Epicuticular Waxes among Leaves and Plants from Inbred Onion Populations

HortScience, 2020
The amounts and types of epicuticular waxes on onion (Allium cepa) leaves affect feeding damage by onion thrips (Thrips tabaci). This study used gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) to establish the identities of waxes and measure over time wax ...
