Epicuticular Leaf Wax of Euphorbia dendroides L., Euphorbiaceae
Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1987 Quantity and composition of epicuticular leaf wax of Euphorbia dendroides L. was examined. The wax contained rt-alkanes, wax esters, aldehydes, fatty acids and primary alcohols. In addition to these common epicuticular wax constituents several triterpenoids and benzoic acid esters were found.

Distinct Phyllosphere Bacterial Communities on Arabidopsis Wax Mutant Leaves [PDF]
, 2013 The phyllosphere of plants is inhabited by diverse microorganisms, however, the factors shaping their community composition are not fully elucidated. The plant cuticle represents the initial contact surface between microorganisms and the plant.

Tribological application and mechanism of epicuticular wax
Friction, 2018 The plant cuticle is a complex mixture of omnipresent, commonly monofunctional, fatty acid derivatives and taxon-specific, generally bifunctional, specialty compounds. This study explored expanded applications for these substances.

Leaf Optical Responses to Light and Soil Nutrient Availability in Temperature Deciduous Trees [PDF]
, 2005 Leaf optical parameters influence light availability at the cellular, leaf, and canopy scale of integration. While recent studies have focused on leaf optical responses to acute plant stress, the effects of changes in plant resources on leaf optics ...

Infrared and Raman spectroscopic features of plant cuticles: a review [PDF]
, 2014 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

Effect of Surfactant on Ion Penetration Through Leaf Wax and a Wax Model1
Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1972 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.
