Epicuticular wax crystals of Wollemia nobilis: morphology and chemical composition.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The morphology of the epicuticular leaf waxes of Wollemia nobilis (Araucariaceae) was studied with special emphasis on the relationship between the microstructure of epicuticular wax crystals and their chemical composition. Wollemia nobilis is a unique coniferous tree of the family Araucariaceae and is of very high scientific value as it is the sole living representative of ...
متن کاملChemical composition of the epicuticular and intracuticular wax layers on adaxial sides of Rosa canina leaves.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The waxy cuticle is the first point of contact for many herbivorous and pathogenic organisms on rose plants. Previous studies have reported the average composition of the combined wax extract from both sides of rose leaves. Recently, the compositions of the waxes on the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of Rosa canina leaves were determined separately. In this paper, a first repo...

The chem ical com position and m orphology of leaf surface waxes of Solanum tuberosum were analysed using FT -IR . G L C and MS studies. T here is a predom inance of sa tu rated and long chained com ponents resulting in a crystalline wax layer in the form of ribbons, n -alkanes are a m ajo r constituen t with C 3I being p rom inen t. Wax esters and 5-alcohols form the o th e r m ajor com ponent...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Epicuticular Wax in Canola
U ltrastructure of the epicuticular wax of four commercially grown Canadian cultivars of canola (Brassica campestris cvs. Tobin and Candle, B. napus cvs. Altex and W estar) was investigated. Freeze-drying and air-drying methods of specimen preparation for scanning electron microscopy were compared. The freeze-drying method resulted in disruption and possible washing away of wax crystals, wherea...
متن کاملChemical composition of the epicuticular and intracuticular wax layers on the adaxial side of Ligustrum vulgare leaves.
Previous research has shown that cuticular triterpenoids are exclusively found in the intracuticular wax layer of Prunus laurocerasus. To investigate whether this partitioning was species-specific, the intra- and epicuticular waxes were identified and quantified for the glossy leaves of Ligustrum vulgare, an unrelated shrub with similar wax morphology. Epicuticular wax was mechanically stripped...
