• 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).”
• Effects of drought acclimation on drought stress resistance in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) genotypes (2016, background): “The cuticular layer is known to be important in preventing additional water loss from transpiration (Jenks and Ashworth 1999).”
• Application of Nano-Silicon Dioxide Improves Salt Stress Tolerance in Strawberry Plants (2019, background): “Epicuticular wax accumulation is linked to plant water use efficiency and the regulation of the amount of moisture evaporation through the leaf [18,19].”
• Leaf wax n-alkane distributions in arid zone South African flora: Environmental controls, chemotaxonomy and palaeoecological implications (2014, background): “They are hypothesised to serve various specific functions, including internal water retention, external water repellence and protection from UV radiation and pathogens (Jenks and Ashworth, 1999; Shepherd and Griffiths, 2006).”
• The Formation and Function of Plant Cuticles1 (2013, unknown): “Wax Biosynthesis Wax composition can vary substantially with species, ontogeny and environmental growth conditions (Jenks and Ashworth, 1999).”
• Effect of terminal water stress on leaf epicuticular wax load, residual transpiration and grain yield in barley (2010, background): “…to grain yield in sorghum (Jordan et al. 1984), wheat (Richards et al. 1986) and barley (Febrero et al. 1998), Epicuticular waxes are deposited in different ways and with different structures, forming an interface between the plant aerial organs and the environment (Jenks and Ashworth 1999).”
• Transgenic Plants for Abiotic Stress Resistance (2010, background): “The cuticle is one of the most important barriers for all terrestrial plants and mitigates damage to above-ground biomass caused by low humidity and other biotic and abiotic stresses (Jenks and Ashworth 1999).”
