The Role and Regulatory Mechanisms of Cuticular Wax in Crop Stress Tolerance and Yield [PDF]
PlantsCuticular waxes form a crucial hydrophobic barrier on the surface of aboveground organs in terrestrial plants. It strongly influences crop stress tolerance and yield stability, making them important target traits in modern crop breeding.

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.

Developmental and Environmental Regulation of Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis in Fleshy Fruits [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 The aerial parts of land plants are covered by a hydrophobic layer called cuticle that limits non-stomatal water loss and provides protection against external biotic and abiotic stresses.

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

Cuticular wax profiling of Populus trichocarpa and P. balsamifera reveals surface similarities with underlying differences [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceCuticular waxes are a mixture of hydrophobic components protecting plant tissues from the environment. Populus trichocarpa and P. balsamifera are closely-related tree species with broad North American distribution; however, variation in their cuticular ...

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
