Rice OsGL1-6 is involved in leaf cuticular wax accumulation and drought resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cuticular wax is a class of organic compounds that comprises the outermost layer of plant surfaces. Plant cuticular wax, the last barrier of self-defense, plays an important role in plant growth and development.

Developmental and Environmental Regulation of Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis in Fleshy Fruits [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The aerial parts of land plants are covered by a hydrophobic layer called cuticle that limits non-stomatal water loss and provides protection against external biotic and abiotic stresses.

Coordinated changes in anthocyanins and cuticular wax during leaf color transition in Rosa chinensis [PDF]
Scientific ReportsJuvenile leaves exhibit a red coloration due to the presence of anthocyanins, which assist plants resist various environmental stresses. This characteristic is common and visually striking among many woody species across various higher plant families ...

Chemical and Transcriptomic Analyses of Leaf Cuticular Wax Metabolism in Ammopiptanthus mongolicus under Osmotic Stress [PDF]
BiomoleculesPlant cuticular wax forms a hydrophobic structure in the cuticle layer covering epidermis as the first barrier between plants and environments. Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, a leguminous desert shrub, exhibits high tolerances to multiple abiotic stress. The

OsGL1-3 is involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis and tolerance to water deficit in rice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Cuticular wax covers aerial organs of plants and functions as the outermost barrier against non-stomatal water loss. We reported here the functional characterization of the Glossy1(GL1)-homologous gene OsGL1-3 in rice using overexpression and RNAi ...

Compositional variances in petal cuticular wax of eight rose species and their impacts on vase life under water-loss stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceCuticular wax is the first barrier between plants and the environment. Here, the densities of cuticular wax crystals on the petals of eight rose cultivars were determined to be sparse; the crystals were mostly granular and only a few rod-shaped crystals ...

Wheat MIXTA-like Transcriptional Activators Positively Regulate Cuticular Wax Accumulation. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciMIXTA-like transcription factors AtMYB16 and AtMYB106 play important roles in the regulation of cuticular wax accumulation in dicot model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, but there are very few studies on the MIXTA-like transcription factors in monocot plants.
