Leaf Epicuticular Waxes of the Eceriferum Mutants in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
Wild-type Arabidopsis leaf epicuticular wax (EW) occurs as a smooth layer over the epidermal surface, whereas stem EW has a crystalline microstructure. Wild-type EW load was more than 10-fold lower on leaves than on stems. Compared with the EW on wild-type stems, EW on wild-type leaves had a much higher proportion of their total EW load in the form of ...

Leaf Cuticular Transpiration Barrier Organization in Tea Tree Under Normal Growth Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle plays a major role in restricting nonstomatal water transpiration in plants. There is therefore a long-standing interest to understand the structure and function of the plant cuticle.

Perinaphthenone phototransformation in a model of leaf epicuticular waxes [PDF]

Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, 2014
Perinaphthenone (1H-phenalen-1-one, PN) is a reference photosensitizer producing singlet oxygen with a quantum yield close to one in a large variety of solvents. It is also the basic structure of a class of phototoxic phytoalexins. In this work, the PN photoreactivity was studied for the first time in a paraffinic wax, used as model of leaf ...

Design of a biomimetic, small-scale artificial leaf surface for the study of environmental interactions

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2022
The cuticle with its superimposed epicuticular waxes represents the barrier of all aboveground parts of higher plant primary tissues. Epicuticular waxes have multiple effects on the interaction of plants with their living and non-living environment ...

Cuticular wax composition of mature leaves of species and hybrids of the genus Prunus differing in resistance to clasterosporium disease

Biosystems Diversity, 2020
The interaction of a host plant with pathogen implies an extremely complex process involving the outer waxy layer of the cuticle, cutin, cell membrane, and intracellular structures. However, the initial contact between plants and pathogens takes place in

Identification of In-Chain-Functionalized Compounds and Methyl-Branched Alkanes in Cuticular Waxes of Triticum aestivum cv. Bethlehem. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
In this work, cuticular waxes from flag leaf blades and peduncles of Triticum aestivum cv. Bethlehem were investigated in search for novel wax compounds. Seven wax compound classes were detected that had previously not been reported, and their structures

Variation in Petal and Leaf Wax Deposition Affects Cuticular Transpiration in Cut Lily Flowers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The vase life of cut flowers is largely affected by post-harvest water loss. Cuticular wax is the primary barrier to uncontrolled water loss for aerial plant organs.

Heritability of the Structures and 13C Fractionation in Tomato Leaf Wax Alkanes: A Genetic Model System to Inform Paleoenvironmental Reconstructions

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017
Leaf wax n-alkanes are broadly used to reconstruct paleoenvironmental information. However, the utility of n-alkanes as a paleoenvironmental proxy may be modulated by the extent to which biological as well as environmental factors influence the ...

Multiple plant surface signals are sensed by different mechanisms in the rice blast fungus for appressorium formation. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2011
Surface recognition and penetration are among the most critical plant infection processes in foliar pathogens. In Magnaporthe oryzae, the Pmk1 MAP kinase regulates appressorium formation and penetration.

Changes in leaf epicuticular wax with age of Chenopodium album L. and Abutilon theophrasti Medik [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society
Epicuticular wax comprises a complex mixture of diverse organic compounds. The predominant class of compounds consists of long-chain n-alkanes. Chenopodium album and Abutilon theophrasti are cosmopolitan weed species, both of economic importance due to ...
