Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade‐Offs in Plant Drought Responses
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell‐level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention.

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Eriophyid mites reprogram the structural and biochemical traits of sclerophyllous leaves in Crinodendron patagua, promoting the formation of nutrient‐rich and protective gall tissues. Abstract Sclerophyllous plants present a suite of traits, including small, leathery leaves with thick cuticles, dense trichomes and sclerified tissues, which are often ...

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1080-1087, September 2026.ABSTRACT The pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri is a major pest of European pear orchards, responsible for significant yield losses. Its management is increasingly challenged by restrictions on synthetic active ingredients, resistance development, and the shift towards sustainable production systems.

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 1996 Espécies de cerrado e mata foram analisadas quanto à sua composição em ceras foliares epicuticulares e de seus componentes hidrocarbonetos. Observou-se nas espécies de cerrado uma tendência a teores de ceras pouco maiores que os de espécies de mata ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.Bacteria of the genus Azospirillum have been used to mitigate negative effects of drought stress. Since there is few information on interaction of new strains of A. brasilense and soil water status, we evaluated the effects of coinoculation of A. brasilense strains (Ab‐V5/Ab‐V6 and HM053) on soybean plants grown either with (40% of field capacity) or ...
