A study of quantitative genetics on some characters of the meadowfoam plant (Limnanthes alba Benth.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Applied Science degree in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
The meadowfoam plant is a moisture-loving native of the west coast of the North American continent near the borders of USA and Canada. It has recently stirred great interest in the chemical oil industry due to the potential of its seed oil to substitute ...

Ontogenic variations in n-alkanes during somatic embryogenesis of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) [PDF]
Hypocotyl segments of flax seedlings germinated in vitro, were used to induce indirect somatic embryogenesis on solid medium. The composition and distribution of n-alkanes in flax tissues collected at different developmental stages were studied by GC and

Utilizing molecular engineering for network design, three pesticide‐loaded organogels (PLOs) carriers exhibiting varying degrees of flexibility were prepared. The mechanical properties of these carriers, tunable via their network molecular structures, enhance their structural adaptability and retention stability at biological interfaces, thereby ...

Effect of Surfactant on Ion Penetration Through Leaf Wax and a Wax Model1
Abstract Leaves of nonglaucous cotton and tomato absorbed Mn whether or not a surfactant was added to a MnSO 4 spray solution, whereas the leaves of glaucous cabbage and onion absorbed Mn only when a surfactant was added.

Infrared and Raman spectroscopic features of plant cuticles: a review [PDF]
The cuticle is one of the most important plant barriers. It is an external and continuous lipid membrane that covers the surface of epidermal cells and whose main function is to prevent the massive loss of water. The spectroscopic characterization of the
