Studies assessing the impact of UV radiation on plant life have emphasized the role of the cuticle and underlying epidermis as optical filters for solar radiation. The field concerned with the diffusive transport of lipophilic organic non-electrolytes across the plant cuticle has reached a state of maturity. A new paradigm has recently been proposed for the diffusion of polar c 410 0$aAnnual plant reviews ;$vv. 23. 606 $aPlant cuticle 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlant cuticle. 676 $a575.451 676 $a580.5 701 $aRiederer$b Markus$01000254 701 $aMuller$b Caroline$01000255 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910143313803321 996 $aBiology of the plant cuticle$92295903 997 $aUNINA
