Micromechanical behavior of the apple fruit cuticle investigated by Brillouin light scattering microscopy
Abstract The cuticle is a polymeric membrane covering all plant aerial organs of primary origin. It regulates water loss and defends against environmental stressors and pathogens. Despite its significance, understanding of the micro-mechanical properties of the cuticle (cuticular membrane; CM) remai...
