Optical Properties of Berry Epicuticular Waxes in Four Georgian Grape Cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) [PDF]
, 2016 The epidermis of plant shoot organs is generally covered by epicuticular waxes. The role of this layer isrelated mainly to the protection of the inner tissues from biotic and abiotic stresses.

Birch Leaves as a Minefield: Do Trichomes Mediate Neonate Caterpillar Site Selection?
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated whether neonate Drepana arcuata caterpillars select leaf sites based on trichome distribution. Specifically, we assessed where larvae establish on leaves, quantified trichome distribution on leaves, and tested whether neonates avoid leaf trichomes. Neonates preferentially established and fed on areas with fewer trichomes, especially the

Are epicuticular waxes a surface defense comparable to trichomes? A test using two Solanum species and a specialist herbivore. [PDF]
, 2023 Although plants possess a suite of structural defenses, most studies have focused on trichomes. Trichomes can have both pre- and post-ingestive effects and have been consistently found to reduce herbivory. Along with trichomes, a few studies have focused

EPICUTICULAR WAXES AND THE ENERGY BALANCE OF SORGHUM [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] [PDF]
, 2019 Epicuticular waxes are hypothesized to enable plants to cope with drought. There is evidence that waxes alter the energy balance of plants through increase in reflectivity of solar radiation and through decrease in conductance of water vapor from the ...

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Natural vegetable waxes in general and the epicuticular in particular, present on the surface of many horticultural products (fruits, vegetables), confer upon them two distinct competences: controlled permeability for water transfer, and respectively for

Developmental Changes in Composition and Morphology of Cuticular Waxes on Leaves and Spikes of Glossy and Glaucous Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The glossy varieties (A14 and Jing 2001) and glaucous varieties (Fanmai 5 and Shanken 99) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were selected for evaluation of developmental changes in the composition and morphology of cuticular waxes on leaves and spikes. The

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Flowering plant species can support pest control by providing resources for natural enemies. Polyphagous predatory species of the genus Orius occur in many parts of the world and are widely used as biological control agents. They feed on several common pest species and can additionally utilize plant resources such as nectar and pollen.

The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

, 2013 Two Brassica napus genotypes with different resistances to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were used to clarify whether or not the epicuticular wax is involved in the defence mechanism of B. napus to S. sclerotiorum.
