Journal ArticleDOI
Purity of the sacred lotus, or escape from contamination in biological surfaces
TL;DR: It is shown here for the first time that the interdependence between surface roughness, reduced particle adhesion and water repellency is the keystone in the self-cleaning mechanism of many biological surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and Distribution of Water-repellent, Self-cleaning Plant Surfaces
TL;DR: The importance of roughness and water-repellency, respectively, as the basis of an anti-adhesive, self-cleaning surface, in comparison to other functions of microstructures, is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetting and self-cleaning properties of artificial superhydrophobic surfaces
TL;DR: The wetting and the self-cleaning properties (the latter is often called the "Lotus-Effect") of three types of superhydrophobic surfaces have been investigated: silicon wafer specimens with different regular arrays of spikes hydrophobized by chemical treatment, replicates of water-repellent leaves of plants, and commercially available metal foils which were additionally hydrophobic by means of a fluorinated agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification and terminology of plant epicuticular waxes.
Wilhelm Barthlott,Christoph Neinhuis,David Cutler,Friedrich Ditsch,Iris Meusel,Inge Theisen,Hiltrud Wilhelmi +6 more
TL;DR: A refined classification and terminology of epicuticular waxes is proposed based on high-resolution SEM analysis of at least 13 000 species, representing all major groups of seed plants, and 23 wax types are classified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiosperm phylogeny based on matK sequence information
Khidir W. Hilu,Thomas Borsch,Kai F. Müller,Douglas E. Soltis,Pamela S. Soltis,Vincent Savolainen,Mark W. Chase,Martyn P. Powell,Lawrence A. Alice,Rodger C. Evans,Hervé Sauquet,Christoph Neinhuis,Tracey A. Bodo Slotta,Jens G. Rohwer,Christopher S. Campbell,Lars W. Chatrou +15 more
TL;DR: Combined analyses of matK and other rapidly evolving DNA regions with available multigene data sets have strong potential to enhance resolution and internal support in deep level angiosperms phylogenetics and provide additional insights into angiosperm evolution.
