Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Cutin matrix area density did not vary with leaf age or side.
- Observation Only young leaves incorporated new carbon into their cutin matrix.
- Method / resource Collodion sampling effectively discriminated epicuticular and intracuticular wax.
- Observation Epicuticular wax differed in composition from intracuticular wax.
- Observation New wax was deposited in intracuticular wax before epicuticular wax.
- Observation Young and mature leaves synthesized both intracuticular and epicuticular wax.
- Mechanism Faster wax dynamics in young leaves were attributed to lower wax coverage rather than faster synthesis.
- Observation Longer-chain alkanes were preferentially deposited on the abaxial stomatous leaf side.
