Uptake and Storage of PCBs by Plant Cuticles
Environmental Science & Technology, 2007The uptake kinetics and storage of PCBs by isolated cuticles and cuticular waxes from Hedera helix, Prunus laurocerasus, and Ilex aquifolium were studied. Small chambers were used, allowing variation in plant uptake parameters to be studied by having the same air boundary layer in each chamber.

STUDIES ON PLANT CUTICLE: THE COMPOSITION OF THE CUTICLE OF APPLE LEAVES AND FRUITS
Annals of Applied Biology, 1959The levels of deposition of the waxy and cutin components of the cuticles of the mature leaves and developing fruits of the Merton Worcester and Cox's Orange Pippin varieties of apple over a period of 4 months are reported. The waxy materials on the leaves remain approximately constant at 20 μg./cm.2, and the cutin at about 100 μg./cm.2 of surface. The

Biomechanics of Isolated Plant Cuticles
Botanica Acta, 1998Abstract:The mechanical properties of isolated cuticles of leaves (Yucca aloifolia, Clusia fluminensis, Nerium oleander, Hedera helix) and one fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum) were investigated by means of a tensile test. Samples of the leaves and the fruit were cut to identical size (12.5 × 50 mm) and the cuticles were enzymatically isolated, cleaned ...

Transformation of Plant Cuticles in Soil
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2006Plant cuticular materials play an important role in sorption of polar and nonpolar pollutants in soils. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of decomposition and transformation of plant cuticles on their sorption behavior with triazine herbicides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Gas permeability of plant cuticles
Planta, 1982Cuticles from the adaxial surface of Citrus aurantium L. leaves and from the pericarp of Lycopersicon esculentum L. and Capsicum annuum L. were isolated enzymatically and their oxygen permeability was determined. Isolated cuticles were mounted between a gaseous and an aqueous compartment with the physiological outer side of the membrane facing the ...

Freeze-fractured cuticles of plants
Plant Science Letters, 1980Abstract When the cuticles of plants are freeze-fractured for electron microscopy, fracture occurs in the plane of the cuticular lamellae such that internal surfaces of the lamellae are revealed. The appearance of cuticular structures revealed in this way corresponds with previous descriptions obtained using thin-sectioning for electron microscopy ...
