Major evolutionary trends in hydrogen isotope fractionation of vascular plant leaf waxes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Hydrogen isotopic ratios of terrestrial plant leaf waxes (δD) have been widely used for paleoclimate reconstructions. However, underlying controls for the observed large variations in leaf wax δD values in different terrestrial vascular plants are still ...

Lipids, 1973 AbstractLeaf wax of oats (Kelsey variety) consists of hydrocarbons (5%), esters (10%), free alcohols (45%), free acids (2.5%), β‐diketone (5.5%), hydroxy‐β‐diketones (2.5%), and unidentified (29%). Wax on leaf blades contains more free alcohols than wax on leaf sheaths, and wax on the flag leaf sheath contains more β‐diketone than wax on the rest of ...

The effects of leaf litter chemistry and anatomical traits on the litter decomposition rate of Quercus frainetto Ten. and Quercus cerris L. in situ [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2020 This paper presents the results of a one-year decomposition experiment on Quercus frainetto Ten. and Quercus cerris L. leaf litter in natural conditions. The decomposition rate constant was 0.831 yr−1 (Q. frainetto) and 0.458 yr−1 (Q. cerris).

Leaf Wax Lipid Extraction for Archaeological Applications [PDF]
Current Protocols in Plant Biology, 2020 AbstractPlant wax lipid molecules, chiefly normal (n‐) alkanes and n‐alkanoic acids, are frequently used as proxies for understanding paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic change. These are regularly analyzed from marine and lake sediments and even more frequently in archaeological contexts, enabling the reconstruction of past environments in direct ...

Ecological Indicators, 2022 Plant leaf waxes are used as vegetation biomarkers in several archives (i.e. soils, lake and marine sediments), study of these compounds in modern plants is needed to makes their application and interpretation more robust.

Developmental Changes in Composition and Morphology of Cuticular Waxes on Leaves and Spikes of Glossy and Glaucous Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The glossy varieties (A14 and Jing 2001) and glaucous varieties (Fanmai 5 and Shanken 99) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were selected for evaluation of developmental changes in the composition and morphology of cuticular waxes on leaves and spikes. The

Phenotypic Diversity in Leaf Cuticular Waxes in Brassica carinata Accessions
Plants, 2023 Brassica carinata has received considerable attention as a renewable biofuel crop for semi-arid zones due to its high oil content and polyunsaturated fatty acids contents. It is important to develop new drought-resistant cultivars of B.

Procedures for extraction and purification of leaf wax biomarkers from peats [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2011 Palaeoecological and palaeoclimate reconstruction, using leaf wax biomarkers, is a relatively new sub-discipline of peatland science. The ability to process large numbers of samples rapidly for biomarkers makes this type of analysis particularly ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The plant cuticle is the major barrier that limits unrestricted water loss and hence plays a critical role in plant drought tolerance. Due to the presence of stomata on the leaf abaxial surface, it is technically challenging to measure abaxial cuticular ...
