Frontiers in Plant ScienceCuticular waxes coating leaf surfaces can help plants tolerate drought events by reducing non-stomatal water loss. Despite their role in drought tolerance, little is known about how cuticular wax composition has changed during breeding in Canadian bread ...

Wax Lipids from Leaf Surfaces of Some Common plants of Malaysia [PDF]
, 1998 Epicuticular wax lipids from leaves of some common plant species found in the Klang Valley, Malaysia were extracted into dichloromethane for analysis. Extracts were separated into hydrocarbon, carboxylic acid, ketone and alcohol fractions. The fractions

Ontogenic variations in n-alkanes during somatic embryogenesis of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) [PDF]
, 2001 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

Analysis of n-alkanes in the cuticular wax of leaves of Ficus glomerata Roxb. [PDF]
, 2013 Leaf cuticle was covered by epicuticular wax consisting mainly of straight chain aliphatic hydrocarbons with a variety of substituted groups. The studies of cuticular characters of leaves had played an important role in chemotaxonomy. An n-hexane extract

Microbial production of long-chain n-alkanes: Implication for interpreting sedimentary leaf wax signals [PDF]
, 2018 Relative distributions as well as compound-specific carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios of long-chain C-25 to C-33 n-alkanes in sediments provide important paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental information. These compounds in aquatic sediments are generally

Drought and high heat stresses modify Brassica napus L. leaf cuticular wax
Plant StressBrassica napus L. is dual-purpose oilseed crop for food, feed and biofuel. Breeding for cultivars adapted to environmental stresses, especially drought and high heat stresses, is one of the strategies that has the attention of breeders.

Nutritional quality and calorific value of Amazonian forest litter
, 1974 A study on the nutritional quality of litter from an Amazon terra firme forest was carried out to supplement quantitative data on litter production previously published by KLINGE and RODRIGUES (1968).
