Cuticular wax in wheat: biosynthesis, genetics, and the stress response

Frontiers in Plant Science
All terrestrial plants possess a hydrophobic cuticle in the outermost layer of their aerial organs that is composed of cutin and wax. The cuticle serves as the first barrier between the plant and the surrounding environment and plays a key role in the ...

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 ...

BrCER1 intron mutation causing a wax deficient phenotype in Chinese cabbage [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Background Cuticular wax is one of the most important substances that cover the aerial parts of most plants and protect them from biotic and abiotic stresses. Plants lacking wax powder on their surface are more popular in terms of appearance and quality.

Update on Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis and Its Roles in Plant Disease Resistance. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2020
The aerial surface of higher plants is covered by a hydrophobic layer of cuticular waxes to protect plant tissues against enormous environmental challenges including the infection of various pathogens. As the first contact site between plants and pathogens, the layer of cuticular waxes could function as a plant physical barrier that limits the entry of

Wheat WW Domain-Containing Protein TaCFL1 Negatively Regulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Waxy cuticle covers plant aerial organs and protects plants against environmental challenges. Although improved cuticle-associated traits are aimed at the wheat breeding programs, the mechanism governing wheat cuticular wax biosynthesis remains to be elucidated.

R2R3-MYB genes coordinate conical cell development and cuticular wax biosynthesis in Phalaenopsis aphrodite. [PDF]

Plant Physiol, 2022
Abstract Petals of the monocot Phalaenopsis aphrodite (Orchidaceae) possess conical epidermal cells on their adaxial surfaces, and a large amount of cuticular wax is deposited on them to serve as a primary barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses.
