Surface structure, wax and methanol-extractable compounds in Scots pine and Norway spruce needles enhanced UV-B
Abstract Increased amounts of epicuticular waxes and UV-absorbing compounds, such as flavonoids, and smaller leaf/needle surface area are plant defence mechanisms against UV-B radiation. The response of the needle epicuticular waxes of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies...
