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 ...

Distinct Phyllosphere Bacterial Communities on Arabidopsis Wax Mutant Leaves [PDF]
, 2013 The phyllosphere of plants is inhabited by diverse microorganisms, however, the factors shaping their community composition are not fully elucidated. The plant cuticle represents the initial contact surface between microorganisms and the plant.

Cuticular Waxes of Arabidopsis [PDF]
The Arabidopsis Book, 2002 As in most terrestrial plants, the cuticle on Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. forms a continuous lipid membrane over the apical epidermal cell walls of essentially all aerial plant organs. Epicuticular waxes form the outermost layer over this membrane and are visible on Arabidopsis inflorescence stem and silique surfaces as a bluish-white colored ...

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]
, 2020 The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

Variation in Petal and Leaf Wax Deposition Affects Cuticular Transpiration in Cut Lily Flowers
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The vase life of cut flowers is largely affected by post-harvest water loss. Cuticular wax is the primary barrier to uncontrolled water loss for aerial plant organs.

The effects of stress on plant cuticular waxes [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2006 SummaryPlants are subject to a wide range of abiotic stresses, and their cuticular wax layer provides a protective barrier, which consists predominantly of long‐chain hydrocarbon compounds, including alkanes, primary alcohols, aldehydes, secondary alcohols, ketones, esters and other derived compounds.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The plant cuticle is the major barrier that limits unrestricted water loss and hence plays a critical role in plant drought tolerance. Due to the presence of stomata on the leaf abaxial surface, it is technically challenging to measure abaxial cuticular ...
