• Extracting the most from terrestrial plant-derived n-alkyl lipids and their carbon isotopes from the sedimentary record: A review (2017, methodology): “…are then elongated through repeated additions of acetyl CoA. n-Alkanoic acids are then converted to n-alkanes by enzymatic decarboxylation or to n-alkanols by reduction (Eglinton and Hamilton, 1967; Kolattukudy et al., 1976; Kolattukudy, 1996; Kunst and Samuels, 2003; Chikaraishi et al., 2004b).”
• n-Alkane distributions and concentrations in algae, submerged plants and terrestrial plants from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (2016, background): “Introduction 62 n-Alkanes are biosynthesized from long chain fatty acids via the decarboxylation 63 pathway (Kunst and Samuels, 2003).”
• Acyl-Lipid Metabolism (2013, background): “…predictions for GPAT5, GPAT4, and HTH (Schwacke et al., 2003) and subcellular localization of FAE components tagged with green fluorescent proteins (GFP; Kunst and Samuels, 2003; Zheng et al., 2005; Bach et al., 2008) imply that the bulk of suberin monomer biosynthesis takes place at the ER.”
• Transgenic Plants for Abiotic Stress Resistance (2010, background): “The important physiological and ecological functions of the cuticle (which include control of transpiration and leaching and facilitation of foliar penetration of pesticides) are related to the presence of cuticular waxes that are embedded in or deposited on the cutin matrix (Kunst and Samuels 2003)”
• Production of n-alkyl lipids in living plants and implications for the geologic past (2011, methodology): “The underlying mechanisms for moving n -alkyl lipids from the epidermal cells, where they are formed, to the epicutic-ular layer is uncertain (Kunst and Samuels, 2003).”
• The MYB96 Transcription Factor Regulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis under Drought Conditions in Arabidopsis[W] (2011, background): “…by intracuticular waxes and overlaid with epicuticular waxes, which consistmainly of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs; C20 to C34) and their derivatives, such as alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, ketones, and wax esters (Post-Beittenmiller, 1996; Kunst and Samuels, 2003; 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).”
• The SHINE Clade of AP2 Domain Transcription Factors Activates Wax Biosynthesis, Alters Cuticle Properties, and Confers Drought Tolerance when Overexpressed in Arabidopsis w⃞ (2004, background): “Wax most often consists of homologous series (>18 carbons in length, typically 24 to 34) of saturated, straight very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, ketones, and esters (Kunst and Samuels, 2003).”
• Uptake of Hydrophilic Solutes Through Plant Leaves: Current State of Knowledge and Perspectives of Foliar Fertilization (2009, background): “Current research focuses on the biosynthesis and transport of cuticular components as well as the underlying genetic control mechanisms (Heredia, 2003; Kunst and Samuels, 2003; Tanaka et al. 2004; Nawrath, 2006; Heredia-Guerrero et al., 2008).”
• Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic plant surfaces: an inspiration for biomimetic materials (2009, neutral): “Plant waxes are mixtures of aliphatic and cyclic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, and several reviews have addressed the chemical composition of plant waxes (Kunst & Samuels 2003; Jeffree 2006; Jetter et al. 2006).”
• Secondary transport as an efficient membrane transport mechanism for plant secondary metabolites (2008, background): “Accumulation and related membrane transport are not well elucidated for quinines, but among benzo-, naphtho-, and anthraquinone compounds, the secretion of lipophilic red naphthoquinone shikonin derivatives has been characterized, where a vesicle trafficking-like mechanism was reported (Kunst and Sa”
