Effect of terminal water stress on leaf epicuticular wax load, residual transpiration and grain yield in barley (2010, background): “The waxes embedded in the cutin are known as intracuticular waxes while those deposited on the surface of the leaf are known as epicuticular waxes (Jetter et al. 2000), and may be an adaptation to adverse environmental conditions such as drought.”
The effects of stress on plant cuticular waxes. (2006, background): “Using published crystallographic (Small, 1984) and density data for alkanes (Le Roux, 1969), Jetter et al. (2000) estimated that the cuticular wax of Prunus laurocerasus consisted of an alkane layer 130–160 nm thick, similar to a value of < 200 nm based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM)…”
Production of n-alkyl lipids in living plants and implications for the geologic past (2011, background): “The cuticle is divided into several layers, including the cuticle proper, an epicuticular wax layer, and an epicuticular wax crystal layer (Eglinton et al., 1962; Eglinton and Hamilton, 1967); each with discrete chemical compositions (Jetter et al., 2000).”
Environmental gradients and population divergence contribute to variation in cuticular wax composition in Juniperus communis (2003, background): “The epicuticular waxes that form the true boundary layer (Jetter et al., 2000), are likely to function in light reflectance (Barnes and Cadoso-Vilhena, 1996) and to provide a contact surface that functions in a variety of biotic and abiotic relationships such as specialist ant symbionts (Markstädter”
Extracting the most from terrestrial plant-derived n-alkyl lipids and their carbon isotopes from the sedimentary record: A review (2017, background): “Plant wax n-alkyl lipids The cuticular wax of terrestrial vascular plant leaves is composed of long chain n-alkyl compounds, including n-alkanes, nalkanoic acids, n-alkanols and n-esters (Eglinton et al., 1962; Eglinton and Hamilton, 1967; Kolattukudy et al., 1976; Jetter et al., 2000).”
Protecting against water loss: analysis of the barrier properties of plant cuticles. (2001, background): “cuticular wax with highly divergent chemical composition (Jetter et al., 2000).”
