Wettability, polarity and water absorption of Quercus ilex leaves: effect of leaf side and age [PDF]
, 2014 Plant trichomes play important protective functions and may have a major influence on leaf surface wettability. With the aim of gaining insight into trichome structure, composition and function in relation to water-plant surface interactions, we analyzed

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 664-681, February 2024.Abstract Despite decades of research resulting in a comprehensive understanding of epicuticular wax metabolism, the function of these almost ubiquitous metabolites in plant–herbivore interactions remains unresolved. In this study, we examined the effects of CRISPR‐induced knockout mutations in four Nicotiana glauca (tree tobacco) wax metabolism genes ...

Isolation and Biophysical Study of Fruit Cuticles
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2012 The cuticle, a hydrophobic protective layer on the aerial parts of terrestrial plants, functions as a versatile defensive barrier to various biotic and abiotic stresses and also regulates water flow from the external environment.1 A biopolyester (cutin ...

Discovering the cover: molecular imaging of Populus trichocarpa leaf surface by FT-IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry techniques [PDF]
, 2015 All terrestrial plants are covered by cuticle and its most outer layer is called epicuticular waxes (EWs). This layer forms an actual leaf surface, therefore is a first line of defence against any environmental stress.
