• Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic plant surfaces: an inspiration for biomimetic materials (2009, unknown): “The chemical composition of plant waxes is highly variable among plant species, the organs of one species (e.g. different leaves) and during organ ontogeny (Jeffree 2006; Jetter et al. 2006).”
• Uptake of Hydrophilic Solutes Through Plant Leaves: Current State of Knowledge and Perspectives of Foliar Fertilization (2009, background): “While the CL contains substantial amounts of cell wall polysaccharides, the CP is by definition free of polysaccharides (Jeffree, 2006), as confirmed by a number of microscopic studies (Norris and Bukovac, 1968; Sargent, 1976; Singh and Hemmes, 1978).”
• Leaf structural changes associated with iron deficiency chlorosis in field-grown pear and peach: physiological implications (2008, unknown): “The structure and composition of the cuticle varies substantially among plants, organs and growth stages, but is basically composed by a cutin matrix with waxes embedded in (intracuticular waxes) and deposited on the surface (epicuticular waxes) (Heredia 2003; Jeffree 2006).”
• Ongoing Growth Challenges Fruit Skin Integrity (2017, background): “Cutan, a nonhydrolysable polymethylene polymer, is an additional constituent in some cuticles but its composition is largely unknown (Jeffree, 2006; Bargel et al., 2006).”
• The Formation and Function of Plant Cuticles1 (2013, unknown): “1B; Jeffree, 2006), while transmission electron microscopy shows the distinct patterning of interior layers of the cuticle, although this approach does not allow the visualization of wax structures (Fig.”
• Epicuticular wax content and morphology as related to ethylene and storage performance of ‘Navelate’ orange fruit (2010, background): “Introduction Epicuticular wax plays important protective roles against biotic nd abiotic stresses and is involved in reduction in transpiration nd maintenance of water balance as well as in regulation of gas xchange in plants (Jeffree, 2006).”
