Raman imaging reveals in-situ microchemistry of cuticle and epidermis of spruce needles

Abstract Background The cuticle is a protective layer playing an important role in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. So far cuticle structure and chemistry was mainly studied by electron microscopy and chemical extraction. Thus, analysing composition involved sample destruction and...
