• Analysis of composition, morphology, and biosynthesis of cuticular wax in wild type bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and its glossy mutant 

      Trivedi, Priyanka; Nguyen, Nga; Klavins, Linards; Kviesis, Jorens; Heinonen, Esa; Remes, Janne; Jokipii-Lukkari, Soile; Klavins, Maris; Karppinen, Katja; Jaakola, Laura; Häggman, Hely (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-03-09)
      In this study, cuticular wax load, its chemical composition, and biosynthesis, was studied during development of wild type (WT) bilberry fruit and its natural glossy type (GT) mutant. GT fruit cuticular wax load was ...
    • Compositional and morphological analyses of wax in northern wild berry species 

      Trivedi, Priyanka; Karppinen, Katja; Klavins, Linards; Kviesis, Jorens; Sundqvist, Petri; Nguyen, Nga; Heinonen, Esa; Klavins, Maris; Jaakola, Laura; Väänänen, Juha; Remes, Janne; Häggman, Hely (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-21)
      Aerial surfaces of plants are covered by a waxy cuticle protecting plants from excessive water loss and UV light. In the present study, composition and morphology of cuticular waxes of northern wild berry species bilberry ...
    • Temperature has a major effect on the cuticular wax composition of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit 

      Trivedi, Priyanka; Klavins, Linards; Hykkerud, Anne Linn; Kviesis, Jorens; Elferts, Didzis; Martinussen, Inger; Klavins, Maris; Karppinen, Katja; Häggman, Hely; Jaakola, Laura (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-09-20)
      Cuticle is the first layer protecting plants against external biotic and abiotic factors and is responsive to climatic factors as well as determined by genetic adaptations. In this study, the chemical composition of bilberry ...
