Engineering, 2023 Cuticular wax plays a major role in the growth and storage of plant fruits. The cuticular wax coating, which covers the outermost layer of a fruit’s epidermal cells, is insoluble in water.

Molecular and Evolutionary Mechanisms of Cuticular Wax for Plant Drought Tolerance
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Cuticular wax, the first protective layer of above ground tissues of many plant species, is a key evolutionary innovation in plants. Cuticular wax safeguards the evolution from certain green algae to flowering plants and the diversification of plant taxa

The effects of stress on plant cuticular waxes [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2006 SummaryPlants are subject to a wide range of abiotic stresses, and their cuticular wax layer provides a protective barrier, which consists predominantly of long‐chain hydrocarbon compounds, including alkanes, primary alcohols, aldehydes, secondary alcohols, ketones, esters and other derived compounds.

Cholesterol in the Cuticular Wax of Boophilus microplus [PDF]
Nature, 1969 TRACES of substances giving colour reactions typical of sterols have been found in the cuticle and cuticular wax of several arthropods1–6, but they have not been reported from ticks7,8. I have now shown that both free and esterified cholesterol occur in the wax of Boophilus microplus, and I have measured the quantity of each present.

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 ...

ECERIFERUM 10 Encoding an Enoyl-CoA Reductase Plays a Crucial Role in Osmotolerance and Cuticular Wax Loading in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Acquired osmotolerance induced after salt stress is widespread across Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) accessions (e.g., Bu-5). However, it remains unclear how this osmotolerance is established.

Identification of a Leaf Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis Gene BrCER2 in Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) [PDF]
PlantsGlossy appearance is a critical trait that affects the appearance quality and marketability of leafy vegetables, including Chinese cabbage. The glossy trait is primarily associated with cuticular wax.

Cuticular wax accumulation is associated with drought tolerance in wheat near-isogenic lines
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Previous studies have shown that wheat grain yield is seriously affected by drought stress, and leaf cuticular wax is reportedly associated with drought tolerance. However, most studies have focused on cuticular wax biosynthesis and model species.

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.
