Annual Plant Reviews, Biology of the Plant Cuticle
Riederer, Markus / Muller, Caroline
A much clearer picture is now emerging of the fine structure of the plant cuticle and its surface, the composition of cuticular waxes and the biosynthetic pathways leading to them. Studies assessing the impact of UV radiation on plant life have emphasized the role of the cuticle and underlying epidermis as optical filters for solar radiation. This volume details the major developments of recent years in this important interdisciplinary area. I...
