Regulation of cuticular wax biosynthesis in plants under abiotic stress
Plant Biotechnology Reports, 2021Cuticular waxes are the covering of the outer layer of the plant, consist of hydrocarbon appears like whitish film or bloom in plant organs. They play a vital role like a safeguard from different stress condition in the plant. Since environmental factors are active regulators of cuticular wax biosynthesis, composition, quantity, and deposition, it is ...

Biosynthesis and secretion of plant cuticular wax
Progress in Lipid Research, 2003The cuticle covers the aerial portions of land plants. It consists of amorphous intracuticular wax embedded in cutin polymer, and epicuticular wax crystalloids that coat the outer plant surface and impart a whitish appearance. Cuticular wax is mainly composed of long-chain aliphatic compounds derived from very long chain fatty acids.

n-Alkanes, esters, aldehydes, free alcohols, β-diketones and hydroxy-β-diketones were found to be the lipid components of the cuticular waxes of common wheat Chinese Spring (Triticum aestivum L.). The ditelosomic lines 7A-L and 7D-S showed a dramatic decrease in the amount of β-diketones and hydroxy β-diketones which are reduced to traces.

AbstractA key function of SUMOylation is the coordinated modification of numerous proteins to optimize plant growth and resistance to environmental stress. Plant cuticular wax is deposited on the surface of primary plant organs to form a barrier that provides protection against changes in terrestrial environments.

Molecular Biology of Genes Involved in Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis
1997The cuticle is the outermost interface between a plant and its environment, and as such plays a crucial role in the plant’s survival (Martin and Juniper, 1970; Kolattukudy, 1981). It consists of cutin embedded in a complex mixture of lipids commonly referred to as the cuticular waxes.

The surface of plants is covered by cuticular wax, which contains a mixture of very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) derivatives. This wax surface provides a hydrophobic barrier which reduces non-stomatal water loss. One component of the cuticular wax is the alkyl esters, which typically contain a VLCFA esterified to an alcohol of a similar length.

Wheat Topoisomerase VI Positively Regulates the Biosynthesis of Cuticular Wax and Cutin
Journal of Agricultural and Food ChemistryLipophilic cuticles mainly composed of wax mixtures and cutin matrices seal the plant epidermis and control plant development and environmental adaptation. Although cuticle-associated traits have been selected in the breeding of agronomically important cereal bread wheat, the biosynthesis of wheat cuticular wax and cutin remains poorly understood ...

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of Genes Involved in Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis
1995The surfaces of the aerial parts of plants are coated with a layer of lipids collectively known as the cuticular waxes (1,2). This first, outer barrier to the environment is thought to play an important, but as yet undefined role in the survival of the organism.

Cuticular waxes are known to play a pivotal role in limiting transpirational water loss across primary plant surfaces. The astomatous tomato fruit is an ideal model system that permits the functional characterization of intact cuticular membranes and therefore allows direct correlation of their permeance for water with their qualitative and ...

Elucidating the biosynthesis of polyketides accumulating in barley (Hordeum vulgare) cuticular wax
2021The epicuticular waxes covering the uppermost organs of the barley plant, including spikes, peduncles and flag leaf sheaths, are dominated by β-diketones and related hydroxy-β-diketones. Cultivars characterized by higher amounts of these compounds display improved resistance to water loss, therefore resulting in higher production yields.
