Regulator of G-Protein Signalling Protein AaRgs2 Negatively Regulates Appressorium-Like Formation of Alternaria alternata Induced by Pear Cutin Monomer via the AaRgs2-AaGα1-AaAC Module. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol
AaRgs2 negatively regulates appressorium‐like formation of A. alternata induced by pear cutin monomer via the AaRgs2‐AaGα1‐AaAC module. ABSTRACT Pathogenic fungi have developed complex and specific infection strategies to invade host tissues successfully.

Cutinsomes and CUTIN SYNTHASE1 Function Sequentially in Tomato Fruit Cutin Deposition [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2020
The aerial parts of plants, including the leaves, fruits and non-lignified stems, are covered with a protective cuticle, largely composed of the polyester cutin. Two mechanisms of cutin deposition have been identified in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit.

Phenotypic Cuticle Plasticity at High Elevation: Is Microstructure and Microchemistry Related to Water Permeability? [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Kalmia procumbens (K. procumbens), a ubiquitous alpine dwarf shrub, thrives at high elevations, particularly on wind‐exposed sites. Plants on contrasting north‐ and southeast‐facing slopes at ~2237 m elevation exhibit differences in leaf colour and growth, suggesting acclimative strategies.

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 ...

Structural Studies of Mexican Husk Tomato (Physalis ixocarpa) Fruit Cutin

Molecules, 2023
Green tomato (Physalis ixocarpa) is a specie native to Mexico, and it is known as “tomatillo” or “husk tomato”. The fruit contains vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds, and steroidal lactones, presenting antimicrobial activity and antinarcotic effects.

Infrared and Raman spectroscopic features of plant cuticles: a review [PDF]

, 2014
The cuticle is one of the most important plant barriers. It is an external and continuous lipid membrane that covers the surface of epidermal cells and whose main function is to prevent the massive loss of water. The spectroscopic characterization of the

Trafficking Processes and Secretion Pathways Underlying the Formation of Plant Cuticles

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Cuticles are specialized cell wall structures that form at the surface of terrestrial plant organs. They are largely comprised lipidic compounds and are deposited in the apoplast, external to the polysaccharide-rich primary wall, creating a barrier to ...

Estimation of the solubility parameters of model plant surfaces and agrochemicals: a valuable tool for understanding plant surface interactions [PDF]

, 2012
Background Most aerial plant parts are covered with a hydrophobic lipid-rich cuticle, which is the interface between the plant organs and the surrounding environment.

The Complex Architecture of Plant Cuticles and Its Relation to Multiple Biological Functions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Terrestrialization of vascular plants, i.e., Angiosperm, is associated with the development of cuticular barriers that prevent biotic and abiotic stresses and support plant growth and development.

New insights into the properties of pubescent surfaces: peach fruit as model [PDF]

, 2011
The surface of peach (Prunus persica ‘Calrico’) is covered by a dense indumentum, which may serve various protective purposes. With the aim of relating structure to function, the chemical composition, morphology, and hydrophobicity of the peach skin was ...
