The diversity and biosynthesis of plant cuticular waxes
, 2017 Plants coat themselves in a cuticle to hinder transpiration across the vast surface areas they require for photosynthesis. The cuticle is made of cutin, a polyester, and cuticular waxes, aliphatic compounds that form the water barrier. Cuticles of model plants had been major targets for cuticular wax research, and knowledge of their surfaces is ...

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lateral root (LR) organogenesis is regulated by cellular flux of auxin within pericycle cells, which depends on the membrane distribution and polar localization of auxin carrier proteins. The correct distribution of auxin carrier proteins relies on the intracellular trafficking of these proteins aided by filamentous actin as a track.

Evaluation of n-alkanes and their carbon isotope enrichments (d13C) as diet composition markers [PDF]
, 2011 Plant cuticular n-alkanes have been successfully used as markers to estimate diet composition and intake of grazing herbivores. However, additional markers may be required under grazing conditions in botanically diverse vegetation.

Fine mapping of a novel wax crystal-sparse leaf3 gene in rice
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017 Cuticular wax plays an important role in protecting plants against water loss and pathogen infection and in the adaptations to environmental stresses. The genetic mechanism of the biosynthesis and accumulation of epicuticular wax in rice remains largely ...
