Not only leaves but also other plant organs and structures typically considered as carbon
sinks, including stems, roots, flowers, fruits and seeds, may exhibit photosynthetic activity …

Cuticular wax covers the surface of fleshy fruit and plays a protective role in fruit
development and postharvest storage, including reducing fruit water loss, resisting biotic …

To investigate the roles of Harvista (a sprayable 1-methylcyclopropene, 1-MCP, available
component is 150 g· hm-2) and Ethephon (1 mL· L-1) applied at preharvest in apple (Malus …

The cuticle is composed of cutin and cuticular waxes, and it is the first protective barrier to
abiotic and biotic stresses in fruit. In this study, we analysed the composition of and changes …

The cuticular wax of fruit is closely related to quality, storability, and pathogen susceptibility
after harvest. However, little is known about the cuticular wax of goji berry (Lycium barbarum …

Fungal pathogens can invade not only the fruit peel but also the outer part of the fruit
mesocarp, limiting the efficacy of fungicides. In this study, the relationships between …

Fleshy fruits represent a valuable resource of economic and nutritional relevance for
humanity. The plant cuticle is the external lipid layer covering the nonwoody aerial organs of …

In this study, cuticular wax load, its chemical composition, and biosynthesis, was studied
during development of wild type (WT) bilberry fruit and its natural glossy type (GT) mutant …

In the present study, the cuticular wax morphology, composition and the relationship with
storage quality in three plum cultivars of Prunus salicina 'Kongxin'(KXL), Prunus salicina …

Wettability of coating-forming systems (CFS) based on starch-gellan (80: 20) blends,
containing or not, emulsified/lecithin-encapsulated thyme essential oil (EO), was analysed in …
