Nectar and oleiferous trichomes as floral attractants in Bulbophyllum saltatorium Lindl. (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
, 2017 Although many Orchidaceae have deceit flowers that produce no reward, the most common reward, when present, is nectar. Bulbophyllum, however, is unusual in that the labellar secretions of most species investigated to date lack sugars, and, therefore ...

The Complex Architecture of Plant Cuticles and Its Relation to Multiple Biological Functions
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Terrestrialization of vascular plants, i.e., Angiosperm, is associated with the development of cuticular barriers that prevent biotic and abiotic stresses and support plant growth and development.

Barnyardgrass shows sensitivity to reduced doses of topramezone at different growth stages [PDF]
, 2019 Using less than the labelled dose of herbicides depends mostly on weed spectrum and growth stage of target weeds. The aim of the greenhouse experiment was to determine the efficacy of recommended (67.2 g a.i. ha-1) and reduced doses (44.8, 33.6, 22.4, 16.

Atmospheric CO2 from fossil plant cuticles [PDF]
Nature, 2002 Plants respond to changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by regulating the number of stomata in their leaves. In his reconstruction of a continuous, 300-million-year record of atmospheric CO2, Retallack bases his curve on stomatal counts of fossil plant cuticles taken from published micrographs.

Foliar lead uptake by lettuce exposed to atmospheric fallouts [PDF]
, 2010 Metal uptake by plants occurs by soil−root transfer but also by direct transfer of contaminants from the atmosphere to the shoots. This second pathway may be particularly important in kitchen gardens near industrial plants.
