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.

Tcrit (critical temperature) may reflect early, adaptive photoprotective downregulation of PSII in Quercus ilex, whereas in Acer campestre and Fraxinus ornus, it may more closely correspond to the onset of thermal PSII vulnerability. Abstract Increasing temperatures impair photosynthetic apparatus by damaging photosystem II (PSII) efficiency.

The origin of multiple DSC melting peaks of Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes [PDF]
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 157-163).The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses of the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) hard waxes display multiple melting peaks, the origin of which is unknown. The phenomenon is sometimes

ABSTRACT Winterkill is a major challenge on golf course putting greens in climates that support cool‐season turfgrass species, including annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). The cuticle is a critical protective outer layer of above‐ground plant organs, but its role in the winter resistance of cool‐season grasses ...
