Regulatory mechanisms underlying cuticular wax biosynthesis

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2021
AbstractPlants are sessile organisms that have developed hydrophobic cuticles that cover their aerial epidermal cells to protect them from terrestrial stresses. The cuticle layer is mainly composed of cutin, a polyester of hydroxy and epoxy fatty acids, and cuticular wax, a mixture of very-long-chain fatty acids (>20 carbon atoms) and their ...

Cuticular Waxes of Arabidopsis [PDF]

The Arabidopsis Book, 2002
As in most terrestrial plants, the cuticle on Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. forms a continuous lipid membrane over the apical epidermal cell walls of essentially all aerial plant organs. Epicuticular waxes form the outermost layer over this membrane and are visible on Arabidopsis inflorescence stem and silique surfaces as a bluish-white colored ...

Tubular epicuticular wax is an important trait for limiting non-stomatal water loss from leaves in several Dianthus species

Ornamental Plant Research, 2022
Cuticular wax plays an important role in plant drought tolerance by limiting non-stomatal water loss and has a diverse micromorphology and composition.

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]

, 2020
The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

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.

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
