Environment-Driven Adaptations of Leaf Cuticular Waxes Are Inheritable for Medicago ruthenica
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Cuticular waxes covering the plant surface play pivotal roles in helping plants adapt to changing environments. However, it is still not clear whether the responses of plant cuticular waxes to their growing environments are inheritable.

GCN5 contributes to stem cuticular wax biosynthesis by histone acetylation of CER3 in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2018 Cuticular wax is a major component of the surface cuticle of plants, which performs crucial functions in optimizing plant growth. Histone acetylation regulates gene expression in diverse biological processes, but its role in cuticular wax synthesis is not well understood.

Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis is Up-Regulated by the MYB94 Transcription Factor in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2014 The aerial parts of all land plants are covered with hydrophobic cuticular wax layers that act as the first barrier against the environment. The MYB94 transcription factor gene is expressed in abundance in aerial organs and shows a higher expression in the stem epidermis than within the stem.

Characterization of increased cuticular wax mutant and analysis of genes involved in wax biosynthesis in Dianthus spiculifolius [PDF]
Horticulture Research, 2018 Cuticular wax formation on the surface of plant leaves is associated with drought-stress tolerance. The identification of wax biosynthesis-related genes will contribute to the genetic improvement of drought resistance in plants. In this study, we characterize a novel Dianthus spiculifolius mutant with increased cuticular wax.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Coding and Long Non-Coding RNAs Involved in Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis in Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata). [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2019 Cuticular wax is a mixture of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and their derivatives, which determines vital roles for plant growth. In cabbage, the cuticular wax content of leaf blades is an important trait influencing morphological features of the ...

A glossy mutant in onion (Allium cepa L.) shows decreased expression of wax biosynthesis genes
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Cuticular wax is a characteristic feature of land plants that provides protection against both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a glossy mutant lacking an epicuticular wax layer was identified in the γ-irradiated M2 mutant population of the ...

Cuticular Waxes of Arabidopsis thaliana Shoots: Cell-Type-Specific Composition and Biosynthesis [PDF]
Plants, 2017 It is generally assumed that all plant epidermis cells are covered with cuticles, and the distinct surface geometries of pavement cells, guard cells, and trichomes imply functional differences and possibly different wax compositions. However, experiments probing cell-type-specific wax compositions and biosynthesis have been lacking until recently. This
