Assembly of the Cutin Polyester: From Cells to Extracellular Cell Walls
Plants, 2017 Cuticular matrices covering aerial plant organs or delimiting compartments in these organs are composed of an insoluble hydrophobic polymer of high molecular mass, i.e., cutin, that encompass some cell wall polysaccharides and is filled by waxes.

Direct Evidence for a Radial Gradient in Age of the Apple Fruit Cuticle
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The pattern of cuticle deposition plays an important role in managing strain buildup in fruit cuticles. Cuticular strain is the primary trigger for numerous fruit-surface disorders in many fruit crop species.

Molecular Biology, Composition and Physiological Functions of Cuticle Lipids in Fleshy Fruits
Plants, 2022 Fleshy fruits represent a valuable resource of economic and nutritional relevance for humanity. The plant cuticle is the external lipid layer covering the nonwoody aerial organs of land plants, and it is the first contact between fruits and the ...

Identification of acyltransferases required for cutin biosynthesis and production of cutin with suberin-like monomers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 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.
