DOI: 10.1016/j.postharvbio.2017.05.006
Abstract: Abstract Certain apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars develop a greasy surface when overripe and the wax changes are considered to be responsible for this disorder, but the contributing wax composition for skin greasiness remains unclear.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpx045
Abstract: Cuticular wax layer is the first barrier against the outside environment and the first defense encountered by herbivores and pathogens. The effects of environmental factors on cuticular chemistry, and on the formation of glandular trichomes… read more here.

Cuticular wax coverage and its transpiration barrier properties in Quercus coccifera L. leaves: does the environment matter?

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpz0110
Abstract: Plants prevent uncontrolled water loss by synthesizing, depositing and maintaining a hydrophobic layer over their primary aerial organs-the plant cuticle. Quercus coccifera L. can plastically respond to environmental conditions at the cuticular level. When exposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1105/tpc.17.00338
Abstract: A ketoacyl CoA synthase (PotriKCS1) is key to the biosynthesis of alkenes in the cuticular waxes of poplar leaves. Alkenes are linear hydrocarbons with one or more double bonds. Despite their potential as biofuels and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13765-019-0441-5
Abstract: Time-dependent permeation characteristics of two fungicides azoxystrobin and chlorothalonil into apples were investigated in the presence and absence of the cuticular waxes. Either apple samples which were subjected to wax-removing treatment or not (raw) were… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2018.01978
Abstract: Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, is a biotrophic pathogen whose growth and development depends on the host tissues. The uredospores of A. psidii infect Eucalyptus by engaging in close contact with the… read more here.
