Estimation of the solubility parameters of model plant surfaces and agrochemicals: a valuable tool for understanding plant surface interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Background Most aerial plant parts are covered with a hydrophobic lipid-rich cuticle, which is the interface between the plant organs and the surrounding environment.

Amounts and Types of Epicuticular Leaf Waxes among Onion Accessions Selected for Reduced Damage by Onion Thrips

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2019
Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) is the main insect pest of onion (Allium cepa), and feeding damage routinely causes serious yield losses. Lower amounts of epicuticular waxes on onion leaves have been associated with fewer onion thrips and less feeding ...

Integrated Metabolomics, Transcriptomics, and Ultrastructural Assessment of the Myco‐Heterotrophic Plant, Monotropa uniflora [PDF]

Plant Direct
ABSTRACT A systems biology approach was used to characterize Monotropa uniflora, a nonhotosynthetic, myco‐heterotrophic plant. In contrast to autotrophic plants, myco‐heterotrophic plants obtain carbon and other nutrients by connecting roots to fungi, which establish the physical connection to a photosynthetic host, and thereby source required ...

Direct Depolymerization Coupled to Liquid Extraction Surface Analysis-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for the Characterization of the Surface of Plant Tissues [PDF]

, 2019
The cuticle, the outermost layer covering the epidermis of most aerial organs of land plants, can have a heterogeneous composition even on the surface of the same organ.

Reaction of Coniferous Forest Vegetation to Particulate Deposition Under Alkaline Pressure [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of this study was to determine direction, rate and character of the changes in coniferous forest communities caused by anthropogenic stress factors (alkaline emission and imission) changing with time.

Use of portable devices and confocal Raman spectrometers at different wavelength to obtain the spectral information of the main organic components in tomatoes (Solanum Lycopersicum) fruits [PDF]

, 2013
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit samples, in two ripening stages, ripe (red) and unripe (green), collected from a cultivar in the North of Spain (Barrika, Basque Country), were analyzed directly, without any sample pretreatment, with two different ...

Influence of surfactant HLB values and commercial agricultural adjuvants on pesticide mimic penetration in plant leaves. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Penetration of a pesticide mimic into a spring onion leaf due to the presence of a surfactant additive. Abstract BACKGROUND Effective pesticide action is crucial for optimizing efficacy and minimizing environmental impact, particularly with the increasing reliance on systemic pesticides.

Preparation and characterization of epicuticular wax films [PDF]

Heliyon, 2019
Dipping films from epicuticular wax (EW) were prepared as model systems of epicuticular wax films found in plants. In these films, the growth uniformity, surface morphology, and hydrophobicity were examined. It was observed growth uniformity (linear growth) only from the fifth layer onwards because of the influence of substrate.

Toward in Vivo Chemical Imaging of Epicuticular Waxes   [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2010
Abstract Epicuticular waxes, which are found on the outer surface of plant cuticles, are difficult to study in vivo. To monitor the growth, development, and structural alterations of epicuticular wax layers, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) might be used.

Abscisic Acid Deficiency Alters Epicuticular Wax Metabolism and Morphology That Leads to Increased Cuticle Permeability During Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) Fruit Ripening

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Citrus fruit ripening is coupled with the synthesis and deposition of epicuticular waxes, which reduces water loss during fruit postharvest storage.
