Assembly of the Cutin Polyester: From Cells to Extracellular Cell Walls
Plants, 2017 Cuticular matrices covering aerial plant organs or delimiting compartments in these organs are composed of an insoluble hydrophobic polymer of high molecular mass, i.e., cutin, that encompass some cell wall polysaccharides and is filled by waxes.

Recovery and Purification of Cutin from Tomato By-Products for Application in Hydrophobic Films
Membranes, 2023 Tomato pomace is a low-cost, renewable resource that has been studied for the extraction of the biopolyester cutin, which is mainly composed of long-chain hydroxy fatty acids. These are excellent building blocks to produce new hydrophobic biopolymers. In

Russeting in Apple is Initiated after Exposure to Moisture Ends: Molecular and Biochemical Evidence
Plants, 2020 Exposure of the fruit surface to moisture during early development is causal in russeting of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Moisture exposure results in formation of microcracks and decreased cuticle thickness.

The Plant Cuticle: An Ancient Guardian Barrier Set Against Long-Standing Rivals
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The aerial surfaces of plants are covered by a protective barrier formed by the cutin polyester and waxes, collectively referred to as the cuticle. Plant cuticles prevent the loss of water, regulate transpiration, and facilitate the transport of gases ...
