Phenotypic Cuticle Plasticity at High Elevation: Is Microstructure and Microchemistry Related to Water Permeability? [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Kalmia procumbens (K. procumbens), a ubiquitous alpine dwarf shrub, thrives at high elevations, particularly on wind‐exposed sites. Plants on contrasting north‐ and southeast‐facing slopes at ~2237 m elevation exhibit differences in leaf colour and growth, suggesting acclimative strategies.

Influence of surfactant HLB values and commercial agricultural adjuvants on pesticide mimic penetration in plant leaves. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Penetration of a pesticide mimic into a spring onion leaf due to the presence of a surfactant additive. Abstract BACKGROUND Effective pesticide action is crucial for optimizing efficacy and minimizing environmental impact, particularly with the increasing reliance on systemic pesticides.

Exploring Plant Surface Chemical Variability: Lettuce Leaf as Model. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT The plant cuticle has been traditionally believed to be a continuous lipophilic layer covering most aerial plant surfaces, but recent methodological advances based on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) enabled mapping the distribution of hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas in the papillae and pavement cells of rose petals and olive leaf trichomes ...

Composition differences between epicuticular and intracuticular wax substructures: How do plants seal their epidermal surfaces? [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2010
The protective wax coating on plant surfaces has long been considered to be non-uniform in composition at a subcellular scale. In recent years, direct evidence has started to accumulate showing quantitative compositional differences between the epicuticular wax (i.e. wax exterior to cutin that can be mechanically peeled off) and intracuticular wax (i.e.

First line of defence: Eucalyptus leaf waxes influence infection by an aggressive fungal leaf pathogen. [PDF]

Plant Biol (Stuttg)
Leaf wax compounds of Eucalyptus modulate the germination and infection of the leaf blight pathogen Teratosphaeria destructans. Abstract Leaf epicuticular waxes provide important anatomical and chemical defences against fungi that infect leaves. In this study we analysed the leaf wax composition of Eucalyptus grandis × Eucalyptus urophylla hybrids with

Project ChemicalBlooms: Collaborating with citizen scientists to survey the chemical diversity and phylogenetic distribution of plant epicuticular wax blooms. [PDF]

Plant Direct
Abstract Plants use chemistry to overcome diverse challenges. A particularly striking chemical trait that some plants possess is the ability to synthesize massive amounts of epicuticular wax that accumulates on the plant's surfaces as a white coating visible to the naked eye.

Modification of the epicuticular waxes of plant leaves due to increased sunlight intensity

Biosystems Diversity, 2020
Climatic changes observed around the world in recent years are associated with an increase in the solar radiation intensity and temperature and reduction in the humidity.

Localization of the Transpiration Barrier in the Epi- and Intracuticular Waxes of Eight Plant Species: Water Transport Resistances Are Associated with Fatty Acyl Rather Than Alicyclic Components [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2015
Plant cuticular waxes play a crucial role in limiting nonstomatal water loss. The goal of this study was to localize the transpiration barrier within the layered structure of cuticles of eight selected plant species and to put its physiological function into context with the chemical composition of the intracuticular and epicuticular wax layers.

An overview of food lipids toward food lipidomics

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 22, Issue 6, Page 4302-4354, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Increasing evidence regarding lipids’ beneficial effects on human health has changed the common perception of consumers and dietary officials about the role(s) of food lipids in a healthy diet. However, lipids are a wide group of molecules with specific nutritional and bioactive properties.

Arabidopsis DREB26/ERF12 and its close relatives regulate cuticular wax biosynthesis under drought stress condition. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY Land plants have evolved a hydrophobic cuticle on the surface of aerial organs as an adaptation to ensure survival in terrestrial environments. Cuticle is mainly composed of lipids, namely cutin and intracuticular wax, with epicuticular wax deposited on plant surface.
