The identification of cutin synthase: formation of the plant polyester cutin [PDF]
Nature Chemical Biology, 2012 A hydrophobic cuticle consisting of waxes and the polyester cutin covers the aerial epidermis of all land plants, providing essential protection from desiccation and other stresses. We have determined the enzymatic basis of cutin polymerization through characterization of a tomato extracellular acyltransferase, CD1, and its substrate, 2-mono(10,16 ...

Identification of acyltransferases required for cutin biosynthesis and production of cutin with suberin-like monomers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2007 Cutin and suberin are the two major lipid-based polymers of plants. Cutin is the structural polymer of the epidermal cuticle, the waterproof layer covering primary aerial organs and which is often the structure first encountered by phytopathogens.

Plant cutin genesis: unanswered questions
Trends in Plant Science, 2015The genesis of cutin, the main lipid polymer present in the biosphere, has remained elusive for many years. Recently, two main approaches have attempted to explain the process of cutin polymerization. One describes the existence of an acyltransferase cutin synthase enzyme that links activated monomers of cutin in the outer cell wall, while the other ...

Precursor biosynthesis regulation of lignin, suberin and cutin
Protoplasma, 2021The extracellular matrix of plants can contain the hydrophobic biopolymers lignin, suberin and/or cutin, which provide mechanical strength and limit water loss and pathogen invasion. Due to their remarkable chemical resistance, these polymers have a high potential in various biotechnological applications and can replace petrol-based resources, for ...

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis to Characterize Cutin Biosynthesis between Low- and High-Cutin Genotypes of Capsicum chinense Jacq [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Habanero peppers constantly face biotic and abiotic stresses such as pathogen/pest infections, extreme temperature, drought and UV radiation. In addition, the fruit cutin lipid composition plays an important role in post-harvest water loss rates, which in turn causes shriveling and reduced fruit quality and storage.

Alkanetriols in psilotophyte cutins
Phytochemistry, 1975Abstract The covalently bonded components of the stem cutin of Psilotum include 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid and substantial amounts of hexadecane-1,8,16-triol. While of generally similar composition, leaf cutin of Tmesipteris contains a mixture of hexadecanetriol isomers. The findings suggest that psilotophyte cutins evolved in a different manner
