With the global climate anomalies and the destruction of ecological balance, the water
shortage has become a serious ecological problem facing all mankind, and drought has …

In the past, there have been drought events in different parts of the world, which have
negatively influenced the productivity and production of various crops including wheat …

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important legume forage crop. However, its genetic
improvement for salt tolerance is challenging, as alfalfa's response to salt stress is …

Wax accumulation on the sorghum surface plays an important role in drought tolerance by
preventing non-stomatal water loss. Thereby, the effect of post-flowering drought stress …

The hydrophobic cuticle of plant shoots serves as an important interaction interface with the
environment. It consists of the lipid polymer cutin, embedded with and covered by waxes …

Cuticular waxes are a mixture of hydrophobic very-long-chain fatty acids and their
derivatives accumulated in the plant cuticle. Most studies define the role of cuticular wax …

Foliar absorption of zinc (Zn) is limited by several barriers, the first of which is the leaf cuticle.
In this study, we investigated the absorption of Zn from Zn oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) in …

Nanoparticles (NPs) interact with living organisms through different pathways. These
interactions depend on chemical nature of NPs, capping, and size, among others. In the last …

Foliar fertilization delivers essential nutrients directly to plant tissues, reducing excessive soil
fertilizer applications that can lead to eutrophication following nutrient leaching. Foliar …

The objective of this research was to investigate the differences between glaucous and non‐
glaucous near‐isogenic lines (NILs) of winter rye (Secale cereale L.) in terms of epicuticular …
