• Influence of temperature and C4 abundance on n-alkane chain length distributions across the central USA (2015, background): “Plants allocate a large portion of lipid synthesis to cuticular wax lipids (Samuels et al., 2008).”
• Acyl-Lipid Metabolism (2013, background): “Molecular genetic studies in Arabidopsis have identified many genes involved in cuticular wax synthesis and deposition (Samuels et al., 2008).”
• Effect of Salinity on Growth, Xylem Structure and Anatomical Characteristics of Soybean (2011, background): “By this mechanism, the cuticle is thought to play a critical role in plant tolerance through its ability to postpone the onset of cellular dehydration during stress (Kosma and Jenks, 2007; Samuels et al., 2008).”
• Ongoing Growth Challenges Fruit Skin Integrity (2017, background): “Cuticular waxes comprise complex mixtures of long-chain C20–C40 alcohols, aldehydes, fatty acids, alkanes, and terpenoids (Hamilton, 1995; Kunst and Samuels, 2003; Samuels et al., 2008).”
• Production of n-alkyl lipids in living plants and implications for the geologic past (2011, background): “Ontogenetic variation in n-alkane production within plants is complicated and presently not well described (Lockheart et al., 1997; Jetter and Schaffer, 2001; Samuels et al., 2008; Sachse et al., 2009).”
• The MYB96 Transcription Factor Regulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis under Drought Conditions in Arabidopsis[W] (2011, background): “The C16 and C18 fatty acids synthesized in the plastids are exported to the cytoplasm, where they are further elongated to VLCFAs through sequential addition of two-carbon units in a reaction catalyzed by fatty acid elongase complexes at the endoplasmic reticulum (Millar et al., 1999; Hooker et al.,”
• Plant cell membrane as a marker for light-dependent and light-independent herbicide mechanisms of action. (2011, background): “In addition to the plasma membrane and organelles, lipids also protect plants from dehydration and biotic attacks by sealing the aerial plant organs within a layer of waxes deposited over the epidermal cell walls [6,7].”
