WAX INDUCER1 (HvWIN1) transcription factor regulates free fatty acid biosynthetic genes to reinforce cuticle to resist Fusarium head blight in barley spikelets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum, is one of the most devastating diseases of wheat and barley. Resistance to FHB is highly complex and quantitative in nature, and is most often classified as resistance to spikelet infection and ...

SUBERIN AND CUTIN [PDF]

open access: yesNew 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

Cutin formation in tomato is controlled by a multipartite module of synergistic and antagonistic transcription factors

open access: yesCell Reports
Summary: Cuticles protect plants from water loss and pathogen attack. We address here the functional significance of SlGRAS9, SlZHD17, and SlMBP3 in regulating cutin formation in tomato fruit.

Exploring and exploiting cuticle biosynthesis for abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in wheat and barley

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Wheat and barley are widely distributed cereal crops whose yields are adversely affected by environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and attacks of pathogens and pests.

Exogenous Melatonin Improves Tolerance to Water Deficit by Promoting Cuticle Formation in Tomato Plants

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
The plant cuticle, composed of cutin and waxes, is a hydrophobic layer coating the aerial organs of terrestrial plants and playing a critical role in limiting water loss.

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

open access: yesMolecules, 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 ...

Warming and Labile Substrate Addition Alter Enzyme Activities and Composition of Soil Organic Carbon

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Warming can increase the efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2) from soils and can potentially feedback to climate change. In addition to warming, the input of labile carbon can enhance the microbial activity by stimulating the co-metabolism of recalcitrant soil

Diversity of cutinases from plant pathogenic fungi: differential and sequential expression of cutinolytic esterases by Alternaria brassicicola [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Plant cuticles provide a protective layer that has to be penetrated by fungal pathogens. Evidence is provided for a differential and sequential induction of two classes of cutinolytic esterases by Alternaria brassicicola.

A novel class of sticky peel and light green mutations causes cuticle deficiency in leaves and fruits of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Integrated Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analysis to Characterize Cutin Biosynthesis between Low- and High-Cutin Genotypes of Capsicum chinense Jacq [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Habanero peppers constantly face biotic and abiotic stresses such as pathogen/pest infections, extreme temperature, drought and UV radiation. In addition, the fruit cutin lipid composition plays an important role in post-harvest water loss rates, which in turn causes shriveling and reduced fruit quality and storage.
