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.

In a Different Light: Irradiation-Induced Cuticular Wax Accumulation Fails to Reduce Cuticular Transpiration. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACTThe cuticle, an extracellular hydrophobic layer impregnated with waxy lipids, serves as the primary interface between plant leaves and their environment and is thus subject to external cues. A previous study on poplar leaves revealed that environmental conditions outdoors promoted the deposition of about 10‐fold more cuticular wax compared to ...

Modification of Cuticular Wax Composition and Biosynthesis by Epichloë gansuensis in Achnatherum inebrians at Different Growing Periods

Agriculture, 2022
Cuticular wax plays a critical role as a plant protectant against various environmental stresses. We predicted that the presence of the mutualistic fungal endophyte Epichloë gansuensis in Achnatherum inebrians would change both the composition of leaf ...

Ectopic expression of an apple ABCG transporter gene MdABCG25 increases plant cuticle wax accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance

Fruit Research, 2023
A number of enzymes and transcription factors involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis have been identified in numerous plant species. The pathway of wax biosynthesis is relatively definite. The molecular basis of cuticular wax deposition is still unclear,

Plasticity of the Cuticular Transpiration Barrier in Response to Water Shortage and Resupply in Camellia sinensis: A Role of Cuticular Waxes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle is regarded as a non-living tissue; it remains unknown whether the cuticle could be reversibly modified and what are the potential mechanisms.

Environment-Driven Adaptations of Leaf Cuticular Waxes Are Inheritable for Medicago ruthenica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Cuticular waxes covering the plant surface play pivotal roles in helping plants adapt to changing environments. However, it is still not clear whether the responses of plant cuticular waxes to their growing environments are inheritable.

Preharvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene and Ethephon altered cuticular wax biosynthesis and fruit quality of apples at harvest and during cold storage

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2022
To investigate the roles of Harvista (a sprayable 1-methylcyclopropene, 1-MCP, available component is 150 g · hm-2) and Ethephon (1 mL · L-1) applied at preharvest in apple (Malus domestica Borkh. 'Golden Delicious') fruit cuticular wax biosynthesis, the

Leaf Cuticular Transpiration Barrier Organization in Tea Tree Under Normal Growth Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle plays a major role in restricting nonstomatal water transpiration in plants. There is therefore a long-standing interest to understand the structure and function of the plant cuticle.

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.

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.
