In the aerial plant organs, cuticular wax forms a hydrophobic layer that can protect cells from dehydration, repel pathogen attacks, and prevent organ fusion during development. The MIXTA gene encodes an MYB-like transcription factor, which is associated

Distinct Phyllosphere Bacterial Communities on Arabidopsis Wax Mutant Leaves [PDF]
The phyllosphere of plants is inhabited by diverse microorganisms, however, the factors shaping their community composition are not fully elucidated. The plant cuticle represents the initial contact surface between microorganisms and the plant.

Chemical composition and morphology of apple cuticular wax during fruit growth and development
Cuticular wax covers the surface of the apple epidermis and plays an important role in water loss and pathogen resistance. However, little is known about wax biosynthesis during apple fruit development.

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

OsPLS4 Is Involved in Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis and Affects Leaf Senescence in Rice
Leaf senescence is one of the most common factors that affects the growth and yield of rice. Although numerous genes affecting leaf senescence have been identified, few involved in cuticular wax synthesis have been described for rice premature leaf ...

In vivo chemical and structural analysis of plant cuticular waxes using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy. [PDF]
The cuticle is a ubiquitous, predominantly waxy layer on the aerial parts of higher plants that fulfils a number of essential physiological roles, including regulating evapotranspiration, light reflection, and heat tolerance, control of development, and ...

Cuticular waxes affect fruit surface color in blueberries
Societal Impact StatementIn blueberry, fruit color is one of the most important quality traits affecting consumers' choices. Both pigments and waxes impact fruit color; however, their roles have not been clearly elucidated. Here, the contributions of waxes and anthocyanins to fruit color are characterized.
