Vicariance Between Cercis siliquastrum L. and Ceratonia siliqua L. Unveiled by the Physical–Chemical Properties of the Leaves’ Epicuticular Waxes

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 ...

Spruce budworm feeding and oviposition are stimulated by monoterpenes in white spruce epicuticular waxes [PDF]

, 2015
Monoterpenes, source of the distinctive odor of conifers, are generally considered plant defensive compounds. However, they are also known to act as long‐range insect attractants, as they are volatile and permeate forest airspaces.

Genetic Analyses of Epicuticular Waxes Associated with the Glossy Foliage of ‘White Persian’ Onion

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2019
Onion (Allium cepa) plants with lower amounts of epicuticular waxes on foliage suffer less damage from the insect pest Thrips tabaci (onion thrips). Glossy onion accumulates significantly less epicuticular wax compared with wild-type “waxy” onion, and a ...
