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 ...

Molecular and Evolutionary Mechanisms of Cuticular Wax for Plant Drought Tolerance [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Cuticular wax, the first protective layer of above ground tissues of many plant species, is a key evolutionary innovation in plants. Cuticular wax safeguards the evolution from certain green algae to flowering plants and the diversification of plant taxa

Cuticular wax biosynthesis as a way of inducing drought resistance [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2011 Plants have evolved diverse adaptive strategies to cope with drought or water deficit conditions, such as stomatal closure, maintenance of root growth and water uptake, and biosynthesis of osmoprotectants. Accumulation of cuticular waxes also contributes
