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.

Combined use of cutinase and high-resolution mass-spectrometry to query the molecular architecture of cutin

Plant Methods, 2018
Background Cutin is a complex, highly cross-linked polyester consisting of hydroxylated and epoxidated acyl lipid monomers. Because of the complexity of the polymer it has been difficult to define the chemical architecture of the polymer, which has ...

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 ...

SUBERIN AND CUTIN [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1921
INTRODUCTION DURING an investigation of the physiological role of the endodermis it became necessary to describe the composition of the radial and transverse walls of this tissue, which from an early stage in their differentiation appear relatively impermeable to water. The impermeability to water of a plant membrane seems usually to have been ascribed

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

PLoS 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

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.

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

Frontiers 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.

Changes in Cuticle Components and Morphology of ‘Satsuma’ Mandarin (Citrus unshiu) during Ambient Storage and Their Potential Role on Penicillium digitatum Infection

Molecules, 2020
To elucidate the role of fruit cuticle in fungal infection, changes in cuticle composition and morphology of ‘Satsuma’ mandarin during ambient (at 25 °C) storage and their role in Penicillium digitatum infection were investigated ...

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

Frontiers in Plant Science
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.).
