Yellow nutsedge WRI4-like gene improves drought tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana by promoting cuticular wax biosynthesis [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Cuticular wax plays important role in protecting plants from drought stress. In Arabidopsis WRI4 improves drought tolerance by regulating the biosynthesis of fatty acids and cuticular wax.

OsPLS4 Is Involved in Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis and Affects Leaf Senescence in Rice [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 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 ...

The ARRE RING-Type E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Negatively Regulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana by Controlling ECERIFERUM1 and ECERIFERUM3 Protein Levels [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The outer epidermal cell walls of plant shoots are covered with a cuticle, a continuous lipid structure that provides protection from desiccation, UV light, pathogens, and insects. The cuticle is mostly composed of cutin and cuticular wax.

Distinct phyllosphere bacterial communities on Arabidopsis wax mutant leaves. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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.

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.

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 ...
