Effects of drought acclimation on drought stress resistance in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes (2016, background): “A study with maize by Ristic and Jenks (2002) revealed an inverse relationship between the epidermal water loss and cuticle thickness where a maize line with lower rates of shoot and detached leaf water loss had thicker cuticlular layer than a line with higher rates of shoot and detached-leaf water…”
Anatomical adaptations to salinity in cogon grass [Imperata cylindrica (L.) Raeuschel] from the Salt Range, Pakistan (2009, background): “Drought- and salt-tolerant species are generally equipped with a thick epidermis (Ristic and Jenks 2002) and this is perhaps the most effective mechanism against water loss through the leaf surface during limited moisture availability (Jenks and Ashworth 1999; YuJing et al. 2000).”
Regulation of Transpiration to Improve Crop Water Use (2009, background): “Ristic et al . (2002) showed that the maize line ZPL 389 had higher concentrations of C 32 aldehydes and C 32 primary alcohols and had increased transpirational water loss from detached leaves in the dark.”
