Dynamic relationships among pathways producing hydrocarbons and fatty acids of maize silk cuticular waxes. [PDF]

Plant Physiol
The hydrophobic cuticle is the first line of defense between aerial portions of plants and the external environment. On maize (Zea mays L.) silks, the cuticular cutin matrix is infused with cuticular waxes, consisting of a homologous series of very long ...

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 ...

GC-MS Metabolomics to Evaluate the Composition of Plant Cuticular Waxes for Four Triticum aestivum Cultivars. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2018
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important food crop, and biotic and abiotic stresses significantly impact grain yield. Wheat leaf and stem surface waxes are associated with traits of biological importance, including stress resistance.

Cuticular waxes in Rosaceae : insights into crystal formation, biosynthesis, and the cuticular water barrier

The plant cuticle is a hydrophobic barrier composed of a complex mixture of wax compounds that coats all aerial surfaces, including leaves and fruit. This layer protects the plant against biotic and abiotic stressors, due in part to (i) its unique composition of very-long-chain aliphatics and pentacyclic triterpenoids and (ii) the presence of ...

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.

Adjuvant-induced alterations of cuticular waxes and their consequences for mechanisms of drought stress resistance [PDF]

, 2023
The most important function of the cuticular waxes is the shielding of the plant from uncontrolled water loss as well as from pathogens, UV radiation and pollutants.

A Proposed Method for Simultaneous Measurement of Cuticular Transpiration From Different Leaf Surfaces in Camellia sinensis

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 ...

New insights into the properties of pubescent surfaces: peach fruit as model [PDF]

, 2011
The surface of peach (Prunus persica ‘Calrico’) is covered by a dense indumentum, which may serve various protective purposes. With the aim of relating structure to function, the chemical composition, morphology, and hydrophobicity of the peach skin was ...

Ectopic Overexpression of CsECR From Navel Orange Increases Cuticular Wax Accumulation in Tomato and Enhances Its Tolerance to Drought Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Drought stress often occurred in citrus to limit its growth, distribution, and fruit quality. Cuticular waxes play an important role in regulating plant tolerance to drought stress.

Estimation of the solubility parameters of model plant surfaces and agrochemicals: a valuable tool for understanding plant surface interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Background Most aerial plant parts are covered with a hydrophobic lipid-rich cuticle, which is the interface between the plant organs and the surrounding environment.
