Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8014-8033, November 2026.
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, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 8697-8711, November 2026.
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.

Evidence for regulation of transpiration in nonstomatal plants: insights from bryophyte gametophytes

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 54-68, October 2026.
Kinetics of cell wall water vapor potential (Ψcw) and resistance of cell wall and plasmatic membrane to water flux in response to cytoplasmic water potential (Ψcyt) during dehydration. Ψcyt was calculated from the WC at any moment of the dehydration curve by using the relationship between −1/Ψw and WC of pressure volume curves and assuming Ψw = Ψcyt ...

Overexpression of ß-Ketoacyl Co-A Synthase1 Gene Improves Tolerance of Drought Susceptible Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Cultivar K-6 by Increased Leaf Epicuticular Wax Accumulation

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Drought is one of the major environmental constraints affecting the crop productivity worldwide. One of the agricultural challenges today is to develop plants with minimized water utilization and reduced water loss in adverse environmental conditions ...

Sclerophyllous structural and chemical traits of mite‐induced galls on Crinodendron patagua (Elaeocarpaceae) leaves

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 2039-2053, October 2026.
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 ...

The Eucalyptus Cuticular Waxes Contribute in Preformed Defense Against Austropuccinia psidii

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, is a biotrophic pathogen whose growth and development depends on the host tissues. The uredospores of A.

Plant stress biology and climate‐resilient crop improvement: Integrating physiology, genomics, and breeding

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Global agricultural systems are increasingly threatened by abiotic and biotic stresses, including drought, heat, salinity, flooding, pathogens, insect pests, and weeds, all of which substantially reduce crop productivity and yield stability.

Epicuticular waxes and glaucousness of Encephalartos leaves

, 1996
The epicuticular leaf waxes from four glaucous and four non-glaucous species of Encephalartos were examined by GC-mass spectrometry and SEM techniques. The four glaucous-leaved species, E. horridus, E. lehmannii, E. princeps and E.
