Cuticular waxes in alpine grassland plants: Chemical diversity, biosynthesis, and ecological adaptation with biotechnological insights

Abstract Cuticular waxes, complex hydrophobic layers coating alpine grassland plants, are critical for survival in extreme environments characterized by freezing temperatures, intense UV‐B radiation, and physiological drought. This review synthesizes advances in understanding the chemical diversity,...
