BODYGUARD is required for the biosynthesis of cutin in Arabidopsis

New Phytologist, 2016
Summary The cuticle plays a critical role in plant survival during extreme drought conditions. There are, however, surprisingly, many gaps in our understanding of cuticle biosynthesis. An Arabidopsis thaliana T‐DNA mutant library was screened for mutants with enhanced transpiration using a simple condensation spot method.

Cutin Composition of Five Finnish Berries

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005
The raw cutin (i.e., extractive-free isolated cuticular membrane) fraction from Finnish berries, sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides), black currant (Ribes nigrum), cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos), lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), was depolymerized by NaOMe-catalyzed methanolysis.

Lignins, Cutins, and Suberins

2011
This chapter examines lignin, which has proven to be a useful chemical biomarker for tracing vascular-plant inputs to aquatic systems. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin generally make up >75% of the biomass of woody plant materials. Lignins are a group of macromolecular heteropolymers found in the cell wall of vascular plants that are made up of ...

The constituent acids of gymnosperm cutins

Phytochemistry, 1972
Abstract The constituent cutin acids of selected species of gymnosperms, a lycopod and a fern have been determined by GLC-MS of the methyl ester trimethylsilyl ethers. A large number of novel cutin acids has been found. Of particular significance is the occurrence of 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid in certain species.

The constituent cutin acids of cranbury cuticle

Phytochemistry, 1972
Abstract Purified cutin from cranberry ( Vaccinium macrocarpon , var. Howes) skin was selectively degraded, and the cutin acids, as methyl esters, separated by TLC into seven classes including monobasic acids, dibasic acids, monohydroxy monobasic acids, monohydroxy epoxymonobasic acids, vic -dihydroxy dibasic acids, dihydroxy monobasic acids and ...

Hydrolysis of Cutin by PET‐Hydrolases

Macromolecular Symposia, 2010
AbstractFunctionalisation of synthetic polymers by using enzymes has been recently demonstrated. The major advantage of enzymes over chemical processes lies in their surface specific and endo‐wise mode of action. Surface hydrophilisation of PET with lipases and cutinases leads to a dramatic increase of the surfacial acid and hydroxyl group content ...

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 ...

The constituent acids of angiosperm cutins

Phytochemistry, 1970
Abstract The composition of the cutin from the cuticles of twenty-four angiosperm leaves and fruits has been compared by GLC. The most abundant acid found in angiosperm cutin is confirmed as 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic with 9,10,18-trihydroxyoctadecanoic occurring frequently and 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic less frequently.

A cutin acid in Pinus sylvestris microspores

Phytochemistry, 1975
Abstract Nonacosan-10-ol (0.7%) and the cutin acid, 9,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid (0.3%) are present in Pinus sylvestris microspores. The pollen coat hence has some features in common with leaf cuticles.

Biopolyester Membranes of Plants: Cutin and Suberin

Science, 1980
Cutin, a biopolyester composed of hydroxy and epoxy fatty acids, is the barrier between the aerial parts of higher plants and their environment. Suberin, a polymer containing aromatics and polyesters, functions as a barrier in underground parts, wound surfaces, and a variety of internal organs.
