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 ...

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 ...

Cuticle Structure in Relation to Chemical Composition: Re-assessing the Prevailing Model [PDF]
, 2016 The surface of most aerial plant organs is covered with a cuticle that provides protection against multiple stress factors including dehydration. Interest on the nature of this external layer dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and since then,

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.
