- who: Edwige Moyroud from the Department University of UK have published the article: Cuticle chemistry drives the development of diffraction gratings on the surface of Hibiscus trionum petals, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of December/19,/2022
- what: The authors show that regulating both cuticle production and epidermal cell growth is insufficient to determine the type of cuticular pattern produced. The authors propose that the Hibiscus petal cuticle could function as a self-organizing material, with chemistry-driven buckling patterning the petal surface at the nanoscale. Specifically, the model proposes that where the amount of cuticle . . .
