“…In this study, high ITV was observed among populations of Arabidopsis thaliana has also shown that the climate histories of the accessions were better predictors of performance than many of life history and growth measures taken during the experiment in a common garden experiment (Rutter & Fenster, 2007). hydrocarbons were proposed as potential chemotaxonomic markers in the classification of tomato and related species (Haliński et al, 2015), and n-alkane distribution was useful for species characterization and establishment of links among Malpighiaceae species (Motta, Salatino, & Salatino, 2009), and cluster analysis based on the pattern of the n-alkane distribution allowed to clearly separate the populations of Plantago major according to the average annual temperature of their habitats (Guo, He, Guo, Gao, & Ni, 2015). However, the cluster based on wax characteristics could not distinguish the L. chinensis populations according to their longitudes, latitudes, annual temperatures, or the sampling transects Besides the climate factors as we obtained, soil water conditions as well as UV-B irradiation in their original places might also influence the wax deposition pattern (Gordon et al, 1998;Schwab et al, 2015), and thus the cluster results.…”

“…This suggested that cuticular wax, as chemotaxonomy indicator, could be used to analyze the phylogenetic diversity of L. chinensis . For example, cuticular hydrocarbons were proposed as potential chemotaxonomic markers in the classification of tomato and related species (Haliński et al, ), and n ‐alkane distribution was useful for species characterization and establishment of links among Malpighiaceae species (Motta, Salatino, & Salatino, ), and cluster analysis based on the pattern of the n ‐alkane distribution allowed to clearly separate the populations of Plantago major according to the average annual temperature of their habitats (Guo, He, Guo, Gao, & Ni, ). However, the cluster based on wax characteristics could not distinguish the L. chinensis populations according to their longitudes, latitudes, annual temperatures, or the sampling transects (Figure ).…”

Cuticular wax covering the leaf surface plays important roles in protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stresses. Understanding the way in which plant leaf cuticles reflect their growing environment could give an insight into plant resilience to future climate change. Here, we analyzed the variations of cuticular waxes among 59 populations of Leymus chinensis in a common garden experiment, aiming to verify how environmental conditions influence the chemical profiles of cuticular waxes. In total, eight cuticular wax classes were identified, including fatty acids, aldehydes, primary alcohols, alkanes, secondary alcohols, ketones, β-diketones, and alkylresorcinols, with β-diketones the predominant compounds in all populations (averaged 67.36% across all populations). Great intraspecific trait variations (ITV) were observed for total wax coverage, wax compositions, and the relative abundance of homologues within each wax class. Cluster analysis based on wax characteristics could separate 59 populations into different clades. However, the populations could not be separated according to their original longitudes, latitudes, annual temperature, or annual precipitation. Redundancy analysis showed that latitude, arid index, and the precipitation from June to August were the most important parameters contributing to the variations of the amount of total wax coverage and wax composition and the relative abundance of wax classes. Pearson's correlation analysis further indicated that the relative abundance of wax classes, homologues in each wax class, and even isomers of certain compound differed in their responses to environmental factors. These results suggested that wax deposition patterns of L. chinensis populations formed during adaptations to their long-term growing environments could inherit in their progenies and exhibit such inheritance even these progenies were exported to new environments.

Micromorphological studies were carried out using multiple microscopic techniques on the leaves and stem bark of Byrsonima sericea DC. (Malpighiaceae), a species popularly known as “murici” and used medicinally, in order to identify both qualitative and quantitative features of leaf and stem anatomy and histochemistry as differential parameters to support both the quality control of its ethnodrugs and the taxonomy of the genus. The study was conducted using traditional techniques of plant anatomy, histochemical tests, and the stomatal index (SI). Byrsonima sericea has hypostomatic leaves, anomocytic stomata, and its epidermal walls are anticlinal and straight on the adaxial and curved on the abaxial faces. T‐shaped trichomes were observed mainly on the abaxial surface. The leaf epidermis showed waxes syntopism on both surfaces, with the occurrence of different crystalloid forms on a single phylloplane. The mesophyll is dorsiventral, with 3‐4 collateral vascular bundles. Phenolic compounds, starch, and proteins were identified in the petiole and stem. The SI was 14.5 ± 0.53% (p < .05), but did not showed significant variations. A set of characters were found to be distinctive for the studied species, however, constituting parameters that could be used to separate B. sericea from other species of the genus.

Epicuticular wax from the leaves of Tillandsia stricta Sol. Sims and Tillandsia usneoides (L.) from Grumari, Marica and Jurubatiba, Rio de Janeiro sandbanks was extracted into chloroform and n-hexane for analyses. The extracts were subjected to gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. In the investigated species, the major n-alkane was found to be C-27. This study has shown that the relation of n-alkanes and fatty acids is a function of the species and the triterpenoids were only observed in the wax of T. usneoides. Phthalates: di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), di isobutyl phthalate (DIBP); Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), benzoic acid, adipic acid derivatives were also detected beyond of DDT in T. stricta from the Conservation Unit of Jurubatiba. The exposure of T. usneoides to vehicular emission resulted in the reversal of the relationship fatty acid: n-alkanes and the triterpenoids suppression. These results reflect the importance of plants in monitoring environmental purposes and their potential for DDT and phthalates indicator.
