The Role of Cutinsomes in Plant Cuticle Formation

open access: yesCells, 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.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Structure-guided engineering of a Thermobifida fusca cutinase for enhanced hydrolysis on natural polyester substrate

open access: yesBioresources and Bioprocessing, 2020
Cutinases could degrade insoluble polyester, including natural cutin and synthetic plastic. However, their turnover efficiency for polyester remains too low for industrial application.

Unraveling Cuticle Formation, Structure, and Properties by Using Tomato Genetic Diversity

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit has a thick, astomatous cuticle that has become a model for the study of cuticle formation, structure, and properties in plants.

Arabidopsis thaliana Cuticle Composition Contributes to Differential Defense Response to Botrytis cinerea

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The chemical composition of a plant cuticle can change in response to various abiotic or biotic stresses and plays essential functions in disease resistance responses.

Cutin synthesis: A slippery paradigm

open access: yesBiointerphases, 2009
Despite its biological importance, the mechanism of construction of cutin, the polymer matrix of plant cuticles, has not yet been elucidated. Recently, progress on lipid barrier formation of polymers such as cutin and suberin has been recently reviewed by Pollard et al.1 In their review the authors state that the ubiquitous cutin is the least ...

An Endosperm-Associated Cuticle Is Required for Arabidopsis Seed Viability, Dormancy and Early Control of Germination.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
Cuticular layers and seeds are prominent plant adaptations to terrestrial life that appeared early and late during plant evolution, respectively. The cuticle is a waterproof film covering plant aerial organs preventing excessive water loss and protecting

Are Fruit Surface Differences in Two Blueberry Cultivars Major Drivers of Contrasting Postharvest Dynamics?

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2022
Fresh blueberries are prone to softening and dehydration during postharvest, which limits their competitiveness when reaching the final markets. Commercial cultivars ‘Duke’ and ‘Brigitta’ exhibit contrasting softening patterns.

Enhancing Cutin Extraction Efficiency from Industrially Derived Tomato Processing Residues by High-Pressure Homogenization

open access: yesFoods
This study primarily aimed to enhance the extraction of cutin from industrial tomato peel residues. Initially, the conventional extraction process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM).
