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.

Analysis of Flower Cuticular Waxes and Cutin Monomers
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Here we describe procedures for the flower cuticular waxes extraction, modification and subsequent qualitative and quantitative analysis by gas-chromotography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas-chromotography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID ...

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.

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

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 ...

A novel class of sticky peel and light green mutations causes cuticle deficiency in leaves and fruits of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) [PDF]
, 2012 The plant cuticle consists of aliphatic wax and cutin, and covers all the aerial tissues, conferring resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we performed phenotypic characterizations of tomato mutants having both sticky peel (pe ...
