Competition between diffusion and advection may mediate self-repair of wax microstructures on plant surfaces
Cuticles are extracellular membranes covering the primary aerial parts of vascular plants. They consist of a multifunctional polymeric material with embedded soluble components, called waxes and serve as the interface between plants and their atmospheric environment, first of all protecting them fro...
