Integrative transcriptomics nominates a 1R-MYB candidate associated with epidermal wax-related traits and osmotic-stress responses in Kentucky bluegrass [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
Cuticular wax-associated epidermal traits may contribute to water-loss regulation, yet their regulatory basis in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) remains poorly defined.

Regulatory mechanisms underlying cuticular wax biosynthesis

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2021
AbstractPlants are sessile organisms that have developed hydrophobic cuticles that cover their aerial epidermal cells to protect them from terrestrial stresses. The cuticle layer is mainly composed of cutin, a polyester of hydroxy and epoxy fatty acids, and cuticular wax, a mixture of very-long-chain fatty acids (&gt;20 carbon atoms) and their ...

Comparative Analysis of the Cuticular Wax Morphology, Composition and Biosynthesis in Two Kumquat Cultivars During Fruit Development

open access: yesHorticulturae
Cuticular wax plays an important role in the quality of kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia Swingle) fruit. In this study, the wax morphology, compositional profile of epi- and intracuticular wax, and crucial gene expression in ‘Rongan’ kumquat (RAK) and ...

Ectopic expression of an apple ABCG transporter gene MdABCG25 increases plant cuticle wax accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance

open access: yesFruit Research, 2023
A number of enzymes and transcription factors involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis have been identified in numerous plant species. The pathway of wax biosynthesis is relatively definite. The molecular basis of cuticular wax deposition is still unclear,

Recent Advances in Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis and Its Regulation in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2013
The aerial parts of land plants are covered with cuticular waxes that limit non-stomatal water loss and gaseous exchanges, and protect plants from ultraviolet radiation and pathogen attacks. They are composed of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs; C20 to C34) in addition to their derivatives, aldehydes, alkanes, primary and secondary alcohols, and wax

MYB94 and MYB96 Additively Activate Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2016
Aerial plant surfaces are coated by a cuticular wax layer to protect against environmental stresses, such as desiccation. In this study, we investigated the functional relationship between MYB94 and MYB96 transcription factors involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis.

EgMIXTA1, a MYB-Type Transcription Factor, Promotes Cuticular Wax Formation in Eustoma grandiflorum Leaves

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In the aerial plant organs, cuticular wax forms a hydrophobic layer that can protect cells from dehydration, repel pathogen attacks, and prevent organ fusion during development. The MIXTA gene encodes an MYB-like transcription factor, which is associated
