Cuticular waxes affect fruit surface color in blueberries
Plants, People, Planet, 2023 Societal Impact Statement In blueberry, fruit color is one of the most important quality traits affecting consumers' choices. Both pigments and waxes impact fruit color; however, their roles have not been clearly elucidated.

The Eucalyptus Cuticular Waxes Contribute in Preformed Defense Against Austropuccinia psidii [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, is a biotrophic pathogen whose growth and development depends on the host tissues. The uredospores of A.

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

Cuticular Wax Composition of Wild and Cultivated Northern Berries [PDF]
Foods, 2020 The outer-most layer of plant surface, the cuticle, consists of epi- and intra-cuticular wax. It protects the plant from dehydration, extreme temperatures and UV radiation, as well as attacks from pests such as molds and bacteria.

Comparative Genomic Analysis and Functional Identification of CER1 and CER3 Homologs in Rice Wax Synthesis [PDF]
BiologyAlkane is a predominant wax component, whose production requires the aids of CER1 and CER3. In rice, OsCER1 and OsCER3 are present in multiple copies. Until now, the roles of these genes have been studied individually; however, a systematic comparison of

McWRI1, a transcription factor of the AP2/SHEN family, regulates the biosynthesis of the cuticular waxes on the apple fruit surface under low temperature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Cuticular waxes of plant and organ surfaces play an important role in protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stress and extending the freshness, storage time and shelf life in the post-harvest agricultural products. WRI1, a transcription factor of AP2/

Developmental Changes in Composition and Morphology of Cuticular Waxes on Leaves and Spikes of Glossy and Glaucous Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The glossy varieties (A14 and Jing 2001) and glaucous varieties (Fanmai 5 and Shanken 99) of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were selected for evaluation of developmental changes in the composition and morphology of cuticular waxes on leaves and spikes. The

Regulatory mechanisms underlying cuticular wax biosynthesis
Journal 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 (>20 carbon atoms) and their ...
