Nanostructure of epicuticular plant waxes: Self-assembly of wax tubules
Surface Science, 2009Abstract A “surface science approach” is used to investigate the growth process of tubular wax structures on plant leaves: natural epicuticular wax from nasturtium leaves, mainly consisting of (S)-nonacosan-10-ol, has been recrystallized on artificial substrates of different structure and polarity, namely HOPG, glass and silicon oxide, and the growth

Epicuticular waxes of four eragrostoid grasses
Phytochemistry, 1984Abstract The major components of Sporobolus airoides wax were hydrocarbons (37%, C 27 –C 33 ), those of Bouteloua curtipendula and Eragrostis trichoides waxes esters (28% and 31%, respectively) and those of Muhlenbergia wrightii wax free alcohols (57%, almost entirely C 28 ). Free alcohols formed 22% of the wax from B. curtipendula , 19 % of

Epicuticular wax of four species of Chionochloa
Phytochemistry, 1983Abstract Shoot epicuticular wax of four species of Chionochloa contained esters (21–38 %); alkanes (15–29%); aldehydes (4–13%); alcohols (8–16%) and acids (1–5%). The major carbon chain lengths ranged from C 24 to C 32 in the acids, alcohols and aldehydes and C 29 and/or C 31 in the alkanes.

Rainfall Removes Epicuticular Waxes from Isocoma Leaves
Botanical Gazette, 1987Amounts of epicuticular waxes on leaves of common goldenweed (Isocoma coronopifolia) and Drummond's goldenweed (I. drummondii) were determined gravimetrically before and after natural rainfall in a nursery and simulated rainfall in the glasshouse. In the nursery, fall rains of 3.3-4.1 cm after a summer with little rainfall removed almost half of the ...

Epicuticular wax of Agropyron smithii leaves
Phytochemistry, 1976Abstract Wax on the leaves of Agropyron smithii contains hydrocarbons (3%, C 27 –C 33 ), esters (4%, C 26 –C 56 ), free acids (5%, C 14 –C 36 ), hentriacontane-14,16-dione (17%), 25-oxohentriacontane-14,16-dione (3%), 25-hydroxyhen-triacontane-14,16-dione (30%), 26-hydroxyhentriacontane-14,16-dione (18%) and unidentified material (20%).

Epicuticular Wax Ultrastructure and Systematics
1994Based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques a vast amount of systematically relevant information on the structure and composition of cuticular surfaces has been accumulated (Behnke and Barthlott 1983; Juniper and Jeffree 1983; Barthlott 1990).

Epicuticular wax of Poa ampla leaves
Phytochemistry, 1978Abstract Leaf wax of a glaucous variety of Poa ampla contains hydrocarbons (5%, C 23 –C 35 ), esters (9%, C 36 –C 56 ), free acids (3%, C 16 –C 34 ), free alcohols (6%, mainly C 26 ); hentriacontane-14,16-dione (14%), 5-oxohentriacontane-14,16-dione (1%); hydroxy β-diketones (56%) and unidentified material (6%).
