Structural Studies of the Cutin from Two Apple Varieties: Golden Delicious and Red Delicious (Malus domestica)

Molecules, 2020
The cuticle, a protective cuticular barrier present in almost all primary aerial plant organs, has a composition that varies between plant species. As a part of the apple peel, cuticle and epicuticular waxes have an important role in the skin appearance ...

Aborted microspores acts as a master regulator of pollen wall formation in Arabidopsis [PDF]

, 2014
Mature pollen is covered by durable cell walls, principally composed of sporopollenin, an evolutionary conserved, highly resilient, but not fully characterized, biopolymer of aliphatic and aromatic components.

Quantitative analysis of glycerol in dicarboxylic acid-rich cutins provides insights into Arabidopsis cutin structure

Phytochemistry, 2016
Cutin is an extracellular lipid polymer that contributes to protective cuticle barrier functions against biotic and abiotic stresses in land plants. Glycerol has been reported as a component of cutin, contributing up to 14% by weight of total released monomers.

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

Extracellular overexpression of recombinant cutinase by alpha-hemolysin secretion system in BL21(DE3) [PDF]

, 2012
Background Extracellular expression of proteins has an absolute advantage in a large-scale industrial production. In our previous study, Thermobifida fusca cutinase, an enzyme mainly utilized in textile industry, was expressed via type II secretory ...

Gallic Acid‐Responsive microRNAs Reprogram Lignification During Drought Acclimation Process in Spearmint

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mentha spicata L. (spearmint) is a high‐value aromatic and medicinal species, whose productivity is strongly affected by water deficit. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying drought acclimation in this mint remain largely unexplored. Thus, here, we investigated the microRNA‐mediated regulatory processes triggered in M.

AaSIZ1‐Mediated SUMOylation of AaMYB31 Positively Regulates Freezing Tolerance in Actinidia arguta

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Several studies revealed that wax accumulation enhances plant tolerance to cold stress. However, the molecular regulation mechanism of wax synthesis under cold stress is still unclear in Actinidia arguta, a hardy kiwifruit species. Here, we found that cold stress significantly induces wax accumulation in Actinidia arguta leaves, which is ...

Adsorption of MultiLamellar tubes with a temperature tunable diameter at the air-water interface: a process driven by the bulk properties [PDF]

, 2011
The behavior at the air/water interface of multilamellar tubes made of the ethanolamine salt of the 12-hydroxy stearic acid as a function of the temperature has been investigated using Neutron Reflectivity.

Redundant Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferases Regulate Thermo‐Sensitive Genic Male Sterility in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermo‐sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines play a pivotal role in two‐line hybrid rice breeding. However, the availability of elite TGMS germplasm remains limited, and the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility transition of TGMS lines are still poorly understood.
