    <ns1:title language="en">Structural changes in needle epicuticular waxes of Balkan Abies species in relation to natural weathering</ns1:title>
    <ns1:language>en</ns1:language>
    <ns1:description language="en">ABSTRACT - This study represents the first survey of the structural changes of needle epicuticular waxes of Abies alba Mill., A. x borisii-regis Mattf.
and A. cephalonica Loudon in relation to natural weathering. In all three studied species, epicuticular wax on the adaxial surface of the needles was
in the form of granules, whose amount increased with age of needles, so they were most prominent on the oldest needles. The main wax crystalloids
on the abaxial needle surfaces were tubules with a tendency to concentrate within the stomatal complexes and between them in the stomatal rows.
As the tubules aged they generally tended to agglomerate and fuse, forming amorphous wax crusts. Although we did not find differences in the
micromorphology types of epicuticular wax among the examined species, both the tendency of the amount of granules to increase and the degree
of degradation of tubules into amorphous crusts as the result of the natural aging process were well-documented.</ns1:description>

Este estudo representa o primeiro levantamento das alterações estruturais das ceras epicuticulares das acículas de Abies alba Mill., A. x borisii-regis
Mattf., e A. cephalonica Loudon em relação ao intemperismo natural. Nas três espécies estudadas, a cera epicuticular superfície adaxial das acículas
estava na forma de grânulos, cuja quantidade aumentava com a idade das acículas, de modo que eram mais proeminentes nas acículas mais velhas.
Os principais cristaloides de cera na superfície abaxial da acícula foram túbulos, com tendência a se concentrarem dentro dos complexos estomáticos
e entre eles, nas fileiras estomáticas. À medida que os túbulos envelhecem, geralmente tendem a aglomerarem-se e fundirem-se, formando crostas
de cera amorfas. Embora não tenhamos encontrado diferenças nos tipos de micromorfologia da cera epicuticular entre as espécies examinadas, a
tendência de aumento da quantidade de grânulos e o grau de degradação dos túbulos em crostas amorfas como resultado do processo natural de
envelhecimento foram bem documentados.</ns1:description>
