Compositional Analysis of Cutin in Maize Leaves

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols
The cuticle is a lipid barrier that covers the air-exposed surfaces of plants. It consists of waxes and cutin, a cell wall–attached lipid polyester of oxygenated fatty acids and glycerol. Unlike waxes, cutin is insoluble in organic solvents, and its composition is typically studied by chemical depolymerization followed by monomer analysis by gas ...

Glycerol and glyceryl esters of ω-hydroxyacids in cutins

Phytochemistry, 2002
Cutins from the leaves and fruits of seven plant species were depolymerized by NaOCH(3)-methanolysis. The monomers that were released mostly included C16 and C18 omega-hydroxyacids with mid-chain oxygenated substitutions, namely epoxy and hydroxyl groups.

Cutin and suberin monomers are membrane perturbants

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2004
The interaction between cutin and suberin monomers, i.e., omega -hydroxylpalmitic acid, alpha, omega -hexadecanedioic acid, alpha, omega --hexadecanediol, 12-hydroxylstearic acid, and phospholipid vesicles biomimicking the lipid structure of plant cell membranes has been studied by optical and transmission electron microscopy, quasielastic light ...

Plant cutin biosynthesis: the involvement of a new acyltransferase

Trends in Plant Science, 2001
Two important paradigms in plant lipid metabolism relating to plant cuticle genesis are yet to be established. A major component of the cuticle is a lipid polyester called cutin, which in turn is covered by surface waxes. The composition of the cuticular waxes and the insoluble cutin, as well as their physiological characteristics, have been reported ...

The optical rotation of a major component of plant cutin

Lipids, 1978
AbstractThe major component of cutin from the fruit of both tomato and papaya, dihydroxypalmitate, is shown to have plain positive rotation and is, therefore, assigned L configuration in analogy to other known hydroxy fatty acids.

Solving the puzzles of cutin and suberin polymer biosynthesis

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2012
Cutin and suberin are insoluble lipid polymers that provide critical barrier functions to the cell wall of certain plant tissues, including the epidermis, endodermis and periderm. Genes that are specific to the biosynthesis of cutins and/or aliphatic suberins have been identified, mainly in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Waxes, Cutin, and Suberin

2018
Plant waxes consisting of very long-chain, relatively nonpolar lipid molecules are associated primarily with the cuticle which extends in a continuous sheet exterior to the walls of the epidermal cells of aerial tissues. In underground tissues, stems undergoing secondary growth, and wound healing sites, waxes are associated with the suberin matrix, a ...

Determination of Cutin-Bound Residues of Chlorothalonil by Immunoassay

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2001
An indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine photochemically cutin-bound residues of chlorothalonil in enzymatically isolated tomato and apple fruit cuticles. The samples were spiked, irradiated, exhaustively extracted, and depolymerized with boron trifluoride complex resulting in a soluble depolymerisate ...

Biochemistry and function of cutin and suberin

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1984
Cutin, the structural component of plant cuticle, is a biopolyester composed of hydroxy- and hydroxyepoxy-fatty acids. The major monomers are a 16-hydroxy C16 acid, a 10,16-dihydroxy C16 acid together with its positional isomers, 18-hydroxy C18 acids, 18-hydroxy-9,10-epoxy C18 acids, and 9,10,18-trihydroxy C18 acids.

Composition of cutin from coffee leaves

Phytochemistry, 1972
Abstract The constituents of the cutin of coffee leaves have been identified using TLC, GLC and GLC-MS. Dihydroxyhexadecanoic acids comprise more than 60% of the total acids. Other compounds identified include C 16 -C 34 monobasic acids, C 14 and C 15 monohydroxymonobasic acids, 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid and monohydroxyhexadecane-1,16-dioic ...
