〔植，动〕上角质层，上表皮
Example sentencesExamples
- The waxy epicuticle protects against desiccation.
- With exposure after death, the epicuticle, which is the epibiont attachment surface, has been shown to degrade.
- The thin, soft upper layer of epicuticle is also absent from the surface of C. punctata, possibly due to abrasion or exfoliation, but present on the lower surface of each fungiform structure.
- All possess an extremely thin epicuticle and a thick, massive outer exocuticle.
- The epicuticle is ‘the outermost and thinnest layer of the cuticle’.

Botany Zoology

Striations of thick epicuticular wax are present on both adaxial and abaxial epidermal cells.
Example sentencesExamples
- A layer of epicuticular wax covers the leaves of all terrestrial plants and this layer can be amorphous to crystalline, dense or diffuse.
- For instance, compared with those of seedlings or acclimated plantlets, leaves of in vitro-regenerated plantlets have little epicuticular wax and stoma functioning is often altered.
- There are many other documented changes in shoot morphology which take place in the droughted plant (e.g. changed stomatal differentiation, synthesis of epicuticular waxes, formation of thorns, hairs etc).
- In order to analyse the relevance of the epicuticular wax to the overall transpiration barrier, the epicuticular layer was selectively removed with gum arabic.
