Cutin Synthesis in Developing, Field-Grown Apple Fruit Examined by External Feeding of Labelled Precursors

Plants, 2021
An intact skin is essential in high-quality apples. Ongoing deposition of cuticular material during fruit development may decrease microcracking. Our objective was to establish a system for quantifying cutin and wax deposition in developing apple fruit ...

Analysis of the composition, characteristics, and antifungal properties of cutin in goji berry fruits at different developmental stages. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Cutin is the main component of the fruit cuticle framework and plays a role in resisting biological stress. However, little is known about the cutin composition and antifungal properties of goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.).

Russeting in Apple is Initiated after Exposure to Moisture Ends: Molecular and Biochemical Evidence

Plants, 2020
Exposure of the fruit surface to moisture during early development is causal in russeting of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Moisture exposure results in formation of microcracks and decreased cuticle thickness.

The Plant Cuticle: An Ancient Guardian Barrier Set Against Long-Standing Rivals

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The aerial surfaces of plants are covered by a protective barrier formed by the cutin polyester and waxes, collectively referred to as the cuticle. Plant cuticles prevent the loss of water, regulate transpiration, and facilitate the transport of gases ...

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 ...

The Role of Cutinsomes in Plant Cuticle Formation

Cells, 2020
The cuticle commonly appears as a continuous lipophilic layer located at the outer epidermal cell walls of land plants. Cutin and waxes are its main components. Two methods for cutin synthesis are considered in plants.
