Glycerol and glyceryl esters of ω-hydroxyacids in cutins
Phytochemistry, 2002Cutins 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.

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 ...

Building lipid barriers: biosynthesis of cutin and suberin
Trends in Plant Science, 2008Cutin and suberin are the polymer matrices for lipophilic cell wall barriers. These barriers control the fluxes of gases, water and solutes, and also play roles in protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stresses and in controlling plant morphology.

Cutin and suberin monomers are membrane perturbants
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2004The 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 ...

Insights into the Sorption Properties of Cutin and Cutan Biopolymers
Environmental Science & Technology, 2008Plant cuticles have been reported as highly efficient sorbents for organic compounds. The objective of this study was to elucidate the sorption and desorption behavior of polar and nonpolar organic compounds with the major structural components of the plant cuticle: the biopolymers cutin and cutan.

Plant cutin biosynthesis: the involvement of a new acyltransferase
Trends in Plant Science, 2001Two 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, 1978AbstractThe 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, 2012Cutin 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.

Cutin and suberin are cell wall‐associated glycerolipid polymers that are specific to plants. Cutin forms the framework of the cuticle sealing the aerial epidermis, while suberin is present in the periderm of barks and underground organs. Suberised walls are also found in the root endodermis.

Biochemistry and function of cutin and suberin
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1984Cutin, 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.
