Beskrivning
Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 23A 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. 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. New and unexpected roles have been assigned to the cuticle in plant development and pollen-stigma interactions. Finally, much progress has been made in understanding the cuticle as a specific and extraordinary substrate for the interactions of the plant with microorganisms, fungi and insects. This volume details the major developments of recent years in this important interdisciplinary area. It is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, plant physiology, plant ecology, phytopathology and environmental microbiology, in both the academic and industrial sectors.

"All authors are unmistakably experts in their respective fields, and the editors assembled top quality international representation, adding to the breadth of their volume.""It is a pleasure to study this meticulously edited volume, because each chapter is so well-organized and thoroughly documented with ample references. Research scientists and professionals from diverse disciplines, both academic and from the industrial sectors will derive benefit from this book." Dorothea Bedigian, Research Associate, Missouri Botanical Garden in Plant Science Bulletin, Volume 52, Number 4, 2006 (The Botanical Society of America) "Another instalment from Blackwell Publishing's noteworthy Annual Plant Review Series. As always, it includes chapters on the latest research on us its subject written by experts in the field. This is the first experiment-based comprehensive scientific book devoted the plant cuticle since the 1970's that is not a compilation of conference proceedings...[and] is of interest to ecologists, environmental scientists, entomologists, and phytopathologists. In addition, information for horticultural scientists is included. This volume is excellent and long overdue source of information about the current research on the plant cuticle."Marissa N. Oppel in JournalBotanical Research, Volume 1, Issue 1, 2007
