Epicuticular wax of olive leaves

Phytochemistry, 1992
Abstract The main components of the chloroform-soluble epicuticular waxes from olive tree leaves (Olea europaea cvs Coratina and Cipressino), were triterpene oleanolic and betulinic acids and triterpenols sitosterol, α- and β-amyrin, uvaol and erythrodiol. The waxes of both cultivars contain the ubiquitous wax classes of alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes,

Epicuticular Wax Ultrastructure

1998
Over the past decades, systematically relevant information on structure and composition of the plant cuticle based on SEM studies have been published (survey in Barthlott 1990). The cuticles of the majority of higher plants are covered with epicuticular wax secretions. They often cause a glaucous appearance.

Analysis of Epicuticular Waxes

1991
The plant surfaces which are exposed to the atmosphere, such as leaves, stems, fruits, and petals, are covered with a hydrophobic, water repellent substance called wax, of which the leaf waxes have received most attention. The outer surface of leaf epidermis is covered with a substance called cutin which is usually impregnated with wax; together they ...

Leaf epicuticular waxes.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 1969
The external surface of the higher plants comprises a cuticular layer covered by a waxy deposit. This deposit is believed to play a major part in such phenomena as the water balance of plants and the behavior of agricultural sprays. The wax contains a wide range of organic compounds.
