T. C. CHAMBERS; I. M. RITCHIE; MARGARET A. BOOTH New Phytologist 1976. doi:10.1111/j.1469-8137.1976.tb01499.x
Other claims from this paper (5)
- 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.
- Association Plate waxes in eucalypt leaves appear associated with polar wax constituents.
- Observation Natural tubular waxes probably contain mixed non-polar compounds.
