Shelf Life Potential and the Fruit Cuticle: The Unexpected Player

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The plant cuticle is an extracellular barrier that protects the aerial, non-lignified parts of plants from the surrounding environment, and furthermore plays important functions in organ growth and development.

Structure‐function analysis of the maize bulliform cell cuticle and its potential role in dehydration and leaf rolling

Plant Direct, 2020
The hydrophobic cuticle of plant shoots serves as an important interaction interface with the environment. It consists of the lipid polymer cutin, embedded with and covered by waxes, and provides protection against stresses including desiccation, UV ...

Revisiting plant cuticle biophysics

New Phytologist
The plant cuticle is located at the interface of the plant with the environment, thus acting as a protective barrier against biotic and abiotic external stress factors, and regulating water loss.

Taxonomic differences between Pinus sylvestris and P. uncinata revealed in the stomata and cuticle characters for use in the study of fossil material [PDF]

, 2009
Taxonomic differences in the needle epidermis characteristics of Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus uncinata Ramond ex DC. from two Iberian populations were sought; such information could help identify these species when pollen analysis and the inspection of ...

Class I TCP transcription factors regulate trichome branching and cuticle development in Arabidopsis.

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020
Trichomes and the cuticle are two specialized structures of the aerial epidermis important for plant organ development and interaction with the environment. In this study, we report that plants affected in the function of the class I TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1,

Transcriptional control of cuticle formation during development. [PDF]

J Exp Bot
The cuticle is a chemically complex, lipid-rich seal covering aerial tissues in land plants. Secreted by the outer epidermis, cuticles protect against desiccation, organ fusion, pathogen attack and UV radiation exposure.

Transcriptomic network analyses shed light on the regulation of cuticle development in maize leaves

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance Plant cuticles provide barriers to water loss and arose as aquatic plants adapted to the dry terrestrial environment. The cuticle components, waxes and the fatty acid-based polymer cutin, are synthesized in the plant epidermis, exported ...

The cuticle micromorphology of extant and fossil plants as indicator of environmental conditions. A pioneer study on the influence of volcanic gases on the cuticle structure in extant plants [PDF]

, 2011
The leaves of many tracheophytes are covered with a cuticle, an extracellular membrane covering aerial organs of plants. The gas exchanges between the plant and the surrounding atmosphere are mediated by the cuticle; its acts as the main barrier to air ...

Estimation of the solubility parameters of model plant surfaces and agrochemicals: a valuable tool for understanding plant surface interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Background Most aerial plant parts are covered with a hydrophobic lipid-rich cuticle, which is the interface between the plant organs and the surrounding environment.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...
