In situ analysis of lateral triterpenoid distribution in plant cuticular waxes using Raman microspectroscopy and non-linear optical imaging
The above-ground organs of plants are covered by a protective cuticle, an extracellular membrane performing important physiological and ecological functions, that consists of cuticular wax and the fatty acid-derived polymer cutin. Until the past decade, the cuticular wax was thought to be a homogeno...
