Cuticular wax

Ebook "Biology of the plant cuticle" 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. The field concerned with the diffusive transport of lipophilic organic non-electrolytes across the plant cuticle has reached a state of maturity. A new paradigm has recently been proposed for the diffusion of polar compounds and water across the cuticle. In the context of plant ecophysiology, cuticular transpiration can now be placed in the perspective of whole-leaf water relations.

Cuticular wax plays important role in protecting plants from drought stress. In Arabidopsis WRI4 improves drought tolerance by regulating the biosynthesis of fatty acids and cuticular wax. Cyperus esculentus (yellow nutsedge) is a tough weed found in tropical and temperate zones as well as in cooler regions.

Brassica napus L. is one of the most important oil crops in the world. However, climate-changeinduced environmental stresses negatively impact on its yield and quality. Cuticular waxes are known to protect plants from various abiotic/biotic stresses.

Cuticular wax production on plant surfaces confers a glaucous appearance and plays important roles in plant stress tolerance. Most common wheat cultivars, which are hexaploid, and most tetraploid wheat cultivars are glaucous; in contrast, a wild wheat progenitor, Aegilops tauschii, can be glaucous or non-glaucous.

Simple non-isoprenoid hydrocarbons accumulate in discrete regions of the biosphere, including within bacteria and algae as a carbon and/or energy store, and the cuticles of plants and insects, where they may protect against environmental stresses.

Very long chain fatty acids (C20 and longer) are synthesized via fatty acid elongases at ER. Plastid generated C16 and C18 fatty acids and malony CoA are substrates for these elongases. The cuticular waxes are a mixture of mostly aliphatic very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) and variable amount of triterpenoids and phenyl propanoids. Cuticle is composed of inter-esterification of ω and mid chain hydroxy and epoxy C16 and C18 fatty acids and glycerol, and cuticular waxes.

The cuticular wax layer covers the aerial surface of plants and acts as a barrier between plants and the environment. The cuticle plays a key role in the protection of plants from pathogens, UV light, and transpiration. Variation in the wax quality and quantity is influenced by factors like the solvent used for extraction, species, ontogeny, and season.

The first thing to understand about journalists is that most are uncomfortable with numbers. Many journalists are unable to calculate a percentage increase. Many more would find it difficult to explain the difference between a percentage decline and a percentage point decline. Most also find data boring. At the same time, however, journalists know that there are stories somewhere in the data. And they are becoming more aware that there are stories that cannot be told properly without resorting to statistics of one kind or another. ...

Ways of acquiring land vary depending on institutional arrangements. In Russia land is commonly leased but sometimes owned, and in Ukraine, where private land sales are not allowed, all land is leased, usually for 5 years although some operators try to lock in lease contracts at favorable terms for much longer. All over the region, land rents relative to land of comparable quality in other parts of the world are very low.

My examples satisfy some aspects of this requirement, but not others. In each of the examples, there clearly are relations, however simple, between doing and undergoing. I undergo an experience, such as feeling that my hands are cold, and take action in response, warming my hands by caressing the sides of my mug. I adjust what I am doing in response to sensations that indicate the mug is too hot to grasp for any extended period; and I put the mug down once my sensations suggest that my hands have been sufficiently warmed. This...

One of the core tenets of Scrum is that the duration of the Sprint is never extended – it ends on the assigned date regardless of whether the team has completed the work it committed to. If the team has not completed their Sprint Goal, they have to stand up at the end of the Sprint and acknowledge that they did not meet their commitment. The idea is that this creates a very visible feedback loop, and teams are forced to get better at estimating what they are capable of accomplishing in a given Sprint, and then delivering it more...

With the audit market concentrated among the four largest firms, concerns have been raised about the number of choices that companies have when selecting an auditor and the extent of competition in the market. In 2003, we conducted a study (mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) on consolidation that had occurred in the accounting profession. Our study followed the dissolution of one of the then-five largest accounting firms, Arthur Andersen.

On the other hand a model with dynamically inconsistent (quasi-hyperbolic) time preference can explain the decline, for reasonable short-term and long-term discount rates. We also investigate whether households in our sample appear to make an effort at self-control, using a strategy emphasized in the literature: a mental accounting rule that limits borrowing during the pay period and thus puts a cap on overspending. We find that households who are able to borrow, in the sense that they own a credit card, nevertheless exhibit the spending profile characteristic of credit constraints.

Environmental accounting is a term with a variety of meanings. In many contexts, environmental accounting is taken to mean the identification and reporting of environment- specific costs, such as liability costs or waste disposal costs. For the purposes of this analysis, a much more general definition is used. "Environmental accounting" is more than accounting for environmental benefits and costs. It is accounting for any costs and benefits that arise from changes to a firm's products or processes, where the change also involves a change in environmental impacts.

Given the considerable variation in deposit insurance arrangements and the relatively large number of banking crises, it is possible to use this panel to test whether the nature of the deposit insurance system has a significant impact on the probability of a banking crisis once other factors are controlled for. We carry out these tests using the multivariate logit econometric model developed in our previous work on the determinants of banking crises (Demirg†e-Kunt and Detragiache, 1998).

By modelling tags not as text keywords but as RDF resources, we also improve on the ways folksonomies can be grown. In existing implementations of text keyword-based tagging, if two users use the same keyword, the items they tag are “collapsed” under the same branch of the taxonomy. This behavior is undesirable when the two users actually meant different things by the same keyword (e.g., “apple” the fruit and “apple” the computer company).
