The recent visualization of stomatal nanoparticle uptake ended a 40‐yr‐old paradigm.
Assuming clean, hydrophobic leaf surfaces, the paradigm considered stomatal liquid water …

Air pollution causes the amorphous appearance of epicuticular waxes in conifers, usually
called wax ‘degradation’ or ‘erosion’, which is often correlated with tree damage symptoms, eg…

Adjuvants such as surfactants are commonly incorporated into agrochemical formulations to
enhance the biological efficiency of foliar sprays by improving the wetting behavior of the …
