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

371 TRITERPENES IN GRAPEFRUIT EPICUTICULAR WAX [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to identify compounds in the wax of fruit obtained from different canopy positions for possible relationships to chilling injury development. Both exterior and interior canopy grapefruit wax extracts were separated by thin layer chromatography into four lipid classes: alkanes, aldehydes, linear alcohols and triterpenes ...

Infrared and Raman spectroscopic features of plant cuticles: a review [PDF]
The cuticle is one of the most important plant barriers. It is an external and continuous lipid membrane that covers the surface of epidermal cells and whose main function is to prevent the massive loss of water. The spectroscopic characterization of the
