Direct Evidence for a Radial Gradient in Age of the Apple Fruit Cuticle

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The pattern of cuticle deposition plays an important role in managing strain buildup in fruit cuticles. Cuticular strain is the primary trigger for numerous fruit-surface disorders in many fruit crop species.

A conserved metalloprotease mediates ecdysis in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]

, 2004
Molting is required for progression between larval stages in the life cycle of nematodes. We have identified four mutant alleles of a <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> metalloprotease gene, <i>nas-37</i>, that cause incomplete ...

Live Detection of Intracellular Chitin in Butterfly Wing Epithelial Cells In Vivo Using Fluorescent Brightener 28: Implications for the Development of Scales and Color Patterns

Insects, 2023
Chitin is the major component of the extracellular cuticle and plays multiple roles in insects. In butterflies, chitin builds wing scales for structural colors.

The kunitz domain protein BLI-5 plays a functionally conserved role in cuticle formation in a diverse range of nematodes [PDF]

, 2010
The cuticle of parasitic nematodes performs many critical functions and is essential for proper development and for protection from the host immune response.

Mechanism of Cuticle Hole Development in Human Hair Due to UV-Radiation Exposure

Cosmetics, 2018
Hair is easily damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, bleaching agents or permanent wave treatments, and as damage progresses, hair loses its gloss, develops split ends and breaks.

Genetic variation and potential for genetic improvement of cuticle deposition on chicken eggs

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background The cuticle is an invisible glycosylated protein layer that covers the outside of the eggshell and forms a barrier to the transmission of microorganisms.

Biosynthesis and enzymology of the Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle: identification and characterization of a novel serine protease inhibitor. [PDF]

, 2006
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans represents an excellent model in which to examine nematode gene expression and function. A completed genome, straightforward transgenesis, available mutants and practical genome-wide RNAi approaches provide an ...

The Morphological and Anatomical Traits of the Leaf in Representative Vinca Species Observed on Indoor- and Outdoor-Grown Plants

Plants, 2021
Morphological and anatomical traits of the Vinca leaf were examined using microscopy techniques. Outdoor Vinca minor and V. herbacea plants and greenhouse cultivated V. major and V. major var. variegata plants had interspecific variations.
