Acyl-Lipid Metabolism (2013, background): “One of the largest biological interfaces in nature, the cutin-based cuticle is a major barrier against water loss and the first physical barrier encountered by most phytopathogens (Jetter et al., 2006).”
The Formation and Function of Plant Cuticles1 (2013, unknown): “In some species, various lipophilic secondary metabolites such as pentacyclic triterpenoids, flavonoids and tocopherols can also be substantial components (Jetter et al., 2006).”
Uptake of Hydrophilic Solutes Through Plant Leaves: Current State of Knowledge and Perspectives of Foliar Fertilization (2009, background): “, long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives), and other compounds, such as triterpenoids and phenylpropanoids (Jetter et al., 2006; Nawrath, 2006).”
Molecular Paleohydrology: Interpreting the Hydrogen-Isotopic Composition of Lipid Biomarkers from Photosynthesizing Organisms (2012, background): “Other studies, however, indicate continued synthesis and rapid replacement of epicuticular waxes on mature leaves, especially during periods of stress, suggesting the potential for seasonally integrated isotopic signatures ( Jetter et al. 2006, Pedentchouk et al. 2008, Sachse et al. 2009).”
Natural and biomimetic artificial surfaces for superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, low adhesion, and drag reduction (2011, background): “The chemical structure of the epicuticular waxes has been studied extensively by plant scientists and lipid chemists in recent decades [6,96].”
Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic plant surfaces: an inspiration for biomimetic materials (2009, unknown): “Surface properties in plants include the provision of mechanical stability (Bargel et al. 2006), provision of an efficient water transpiration barrier and minimizing the leaching of molecules from the inside of the living cells (Kerstiens 1996a,b; Riederer & Müller 2006).”
Leaf wax composition and carbon isotopes vary among major conifer groups (2015, background): “…physiochemical properties of leaf waxes, especially with respect to crystal structure, morphology, chemical behavior, plasticity, and permeability (Riederer and Schneider, 1990; Müller and Riederer, 2005; Jetter et al., 2006). n-Alkane concentrations vary among the major conifer lineages (Figs.”
Leaf wax n-alkane distributions in and across modern plants: Implications for paleoecology and chemotaxonomy (2013, background): “temperature, aridity, or ablation by wind, are relatively unknown (Jetter et al., 2006).”
