Environment-Driven Adaptations of Leaf Cuticular Waxes Are Inheritable for Medicago ruthenica
Cuticular waxes covering the plant surface play pivotal roles in helping plants adapt to changing environments. However, it is still not clear whether the responses of plant cuticular waxes to their growing environments are inheritable.

Radiocarbon Dating of Leaf Waxes in the Loess-Paleosol Sequence Kurtak, Central Siberia [PDF]
Loess-paleosol sequences (LPS) are valuable archives for Quaternary climate and environmental changes. So far, LPS are generally dated using luminescence, with ~10% uncertainties, or radiocarbon (14C) analyses in the rare cases that charcoal or ...

EROSION OF WAXES FROM LEAF SURFACES BY SIMULATED RAIN [PDF]
SummaryEffects of simulated rain on the epicuticular wax of glaucous leaves have been studied. Droplets (250 to 400 μm) travelling at low or medium velocity (0.25 to 5 m s−1) fractured the dendrites and tubes on leaves of Brassica spp., the tubes on Eucalyptus globulus Labillardere and the ribbons on the adaxial surfaces of Pisum sativum L.

The origin of multiple DSC melting peaks of Fischer-Tropsch hard waxes [PDF]
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 157-163).The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses of the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) hard waxes display multiple melting peaks, the origin of which is unknown. The phenomenon is sometimes

Isolation and Identification of the Wax Esters from the Cuticular Waxes of Green Tobacco Leaf [PDF]
Abstract Recent studies in our laboratory on the cuticular chemicals of green tobacco leaf have revealed the presence of wax esters, composed of fatty acids bound to fatty alcohols. Cuticular components of young green NC 2326 tobacco leaves were removed with methylene chloride, and partitioned between hexane and ...
