We are upgrading the repository! We will continue our upgrade in February 2025 - we have taken a break from the upgrade to open some collections for end-of-semester submission. The MS-GIST Master's Reports, SBE Senior Capstones, IPLP dissertations, and UA Faculty Publications collections are currently open for submission. Please reach out to repository@u.library.arizona.edu with your questions, or if you are a UA affiliate who needs to make content available in another collection.

| dc.description.abstract | Epicuticular wax (EW) forms the outermost layer over aerial portions of a plant. EW has been studied in plants for more than 100 years, yet there is a great deal that is still not known about epicuticular wax. The work in this dissertation has taken a broad view in investigating EW of Arabidopsis thaliana. In this dissertation I examined EW chemistry, EW structure, and mapped positions of existing and novel eceriferum or cer mutants. Additionally, I worked to develop new EW pathway models, establish correlations between EW chemistry and structure, and examine a possible functional role for EW in insect interactions. More specifically this dissertation project has attempted to expand the baseline knowledge of EW and of EW mutants in A. thaliana. | |
