Analysis of the Compositional Variation in the Epicuticular Wax Layer of Wheat (Triticum aestivum) (2013-05-08)Epicuticular waxes form a layer on the outer surface of all land plants and play a fundamental role in their interaction with the environment. Development of a rapid and accurate method for the characterization of these ...
