Optical Properties of Berry Epicuticular Waxes in Four Georgian Grape Cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.)
, 2012 The epidermis of plant shoot organs is generally covered by epicuticular waxes. The role of this layer is related mainly to the protection of the inner tissues from biotic and abiotic stresses.

Isolation and recrystallization of epicuticular waxes from Sorbus and Cotoneaster leaves
Open Life Sciences, 2015 Wax morphology and chemical composition are widely accepted to be important for the protective properties of the leaf’s surface and also valuable characteristics in plant systematics. The leaves of Sorbus domestica L.

Leaf epicuticular waxes effects egg parasitoid’s response to host adult footprint contact kairomone
, 2009 Chemical footprints left behind by true bugs are perceived as a contact kairomones by scelionid egg parasitoids. In the system Nezara viridula and its egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis, previous studies have shown that the kairomone mediating such ...

Response to Selection for Unique Epicuticular Wax Profile on the Semi-glossy Foliage of Onion
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural ScienceEpicuticular waxes on onion (Allium cepa) foliage offer protection against water loss, pathogens, and pests. Onion leaves with a light green color are referred to as “glossy” and have less total wax compared with that of darker blue-green (“waxy ...
