Multifunctional Roles of Plant Cuticle During Plant-Pathogen Interactions
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 In land plants the cuticle is the outermost layer interacting with the environment. This lipophilic layer comprises the polyester cutin embedded in cuticular wax; and it forms a physical barrier to protect plants from desiccation as well as from diverse ...

WormBook, 2007 The nematode cuticle is an extremely flexible and resilient exoskeleton that permits locomotion via attachment to muscle, confers environmental protection and allows growth by molting. It is synthesised five times, once in the embryo and subsequently at the end of each larval stage prior to molting. It is a highly structured extra-cellular matrix (ECM),

Current Biology, 2023 The plant cuticle is one of the key innovations that allowed plants to colonize terrestrial ecosystems. By limiting molecular diffusion, the cuticle provides an interface that ensures controlled interactions between plant surfaces and their environments.

Could a cuticle be an active component of plant immunity?
Biologia Plantarum, 2023 The cuticle is the first physical barrier between the plant and the outer environment. The cuticle is no longer viewed as a rigid "inert sealer".

Limnological Review, 2021 Abstract Tardigrades (phylum Tardigrada) are aquatic microecdysozoans that have adapted to survive extreme conditions through the formation of cysts or ametabolic tuns. Their body is covered by a cuticle that plays an important role in their life cycle, including their response and adaptation to environmental challenges.

Structure and Performance of Cuticles Isolated from Wool Fibers Using Different Approaches
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Wool cuticles have a complex hierarchical structure and inherent resistance to general chemicals and enzymes. However, data on the structure and properties of the cuticle, which informs its processing and utilization remains scant.

Effect of sample treatment on the elastic modulus of locust cuticle obtained by nanoindentation
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2022 Cuticle is one of the most abundant, but least studied, biological composites. As a result, it has contributed very little to the field of biomimetics.

Transcriptome analysis of the uterus of hens laying eggs differing in cuticle deposition
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Avian eggs have a proteinaceous cuticle. The quantity of cuticle varies and the deposition of a good cuticle in the uterus (Shell-gland) prevents transmission of bacteria to the egg contents.

The effects of plant cysteine proteinases on the nematode cuticle
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Plant-derived cysteine proteinases of the papain family (CPs) attack nematodes by digesting the cuticle, leading to rupture and death of the worm. The nematode cuticle is composed of collagens and cuticlins, but the specific molecular target(s)
