Cuticular wax in wheat: biosynthesis, genetics, and the stress response
Frontiers in Plant ScienceAll 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 ...

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

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.
