Other claims from this paper (5)
- Mechanism Leaf cuticular wax deposit patterns are mainly related to wax chemical composition.
- Mechanism Wax probably reaches the cuticular surface in a solvent that then evaporates.
- Mechanism Surface diffusion across the cuticle is not believed to contribute substantially to wax growth.
- Observation Most wax compounds formed plates or sheet-like structures on crystallization from solution.
- Observation Natural tubular waxes probably contain mixed non-polar compounds.
