Plant Cuticles Are Polyelectrolytes with Isoelectric Points around Three.
The isoelectric points of isolated cuticles from Citrus aurantium L. (3.15), Prunus armeniaca L. (3.45), and Pyrus communis L. (2.90) leaves were determined from membrane potentials. At pH values below the isoelectric point, cuticular membranes carry a net positive charge and are permselective to anions (determined using (82)Br(-)). Above the isoelectric point, they carry a net negative charge ...
متن کاملIsoelectric points of viruses.
Viruses as well as other (bio-)colloids possess a pH-dependent surface charge in polar media such as water. This electrostatic charge determines the mobility of the soft particle in an electric field and thus governs its colloidal behaviour which plays a major role in virus sorption processes. The pH value at which the net surface charge switches its sign is referred to as the isoelectric point...
متن کاملGlassy State in Plant Cuticles during Growth
Cuticles are thin extracellular layers that cover the aerial parts of all higher plants in areas lacking secondary growth. Their chemical and m orpho logical roles as protective barriers between the plant and its environment has been reported (Hol loway, 1982). Plant cuticles are heterogeneous in nature. They consist o f epiand intracuticular wax fractions and, mainly, cutin which is a highly...
متن کاملThe formation and function of plant cuticles.
The plant cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer that covers the aerial epidermis of all land plants, providing protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses. The past decade has seen considerable progress in assembling models for the biosynthesis of its two major components, the polymer cutin and cuticular waxes. Most recently, two breakthroughs in the long-sought m...
متن کاملIsolation of Plant Cuticles With Zinc Chloride-hydrochloric Acid Solution.
rhe cuiticle of plants is a heterogenous memnbranie in which wax, pectin and cellulose in varying l)ro)ortions are contained in a cutin franmework. In the isolation of cuticular membranes from leaves or fruits the wax is nornially removed by extraction xvith ani organic solvent before detachment of the memnbranes from the underlying epidermal cells. Detachnmenit is achieve(d by the use of eithe...
