Composition and structure of Rosaceae leaf cuticles: insights into crystal formation and secondary alcohol biosynthesis
Although preferred biosynthetic mechanisms and wax structures are broadly grouped by subfamily, this organization breaks down at lower taxonomic ranks. In Rosaceae, cuticular biochemistry and structure may be quickly tuned within evolutionary time, reflecting yet unknown functional optimization of the cuticle.
