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 ...

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.

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 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

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

Arabidopsis cuticular waxes: Advances in synthesis, export and regulation
Progress in Lipid Research, 2013 Cuticular waxes and cutin form the cuticle, a hydrophobic layer covering the aerial surfaces of land plants and acting as a protective barrier against environmental stresses. Very-long-chain fatty acid derived compounds that compose the cuticular waxes are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum of epidermal cells before being exported to the ...

Variations in Triterpenoid Deposition in Cuticular Waxes during Development and Maturation of Selected Fruits of Rosaceae Family. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2020 The process of fruit ripening involves many chemical changes occurring not only in the mesocarp but also in the epicarp, including changes in the triterpenoid content of fruit cuticular waxes that can modify the susceptibility to pathogens and mechanical

Leaf Cuticular Transpiration Barrier Organization in Tea Tree Under Normal Growth Conditions
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The cuticle plays a major role in restricting nonstomatal water transpiration in plants. There is therefore a long-standing interest to understand the structure and function of the plant cuticle.

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 ...
