Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Divergent structure–function coordination shapes leaf thermal tolerance in Mediterranean tree species

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Tcrit (critical temperature) may reflect early, adaptive photoprotective downregulation of PSII in Quercus ilex, whereas in Acer campestre and Fraxinus ornus, it may more closely correspond to the onset of thermal PSII vulnerability. Abstract Increasing temperatures impair photosynthetic apparatus by damaging photosystem II (PSII) efficiency.

Chemical and morphological diversity of foliar epicuticular waxes in economically important grain crops

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant epicuticular waxes play vital roles in mitigating environmental stressors. This study chemically and morphologically characterises foliar epicuticular waxes across monocot and dicot grain crops, identifying broad inter‐ and intra‐species differences in wax biosynthetic strategies.

Ultrastructural analysis of berry skin from four grapes varieties at harvest and in relation to postharvest dehydration

open access: yesOENO One, 2020
In several production areas, dessert (sweet) and reinforced wines are made after a more or less intense dehydration of harvested grapes. The dehydration process depends on several factors, including the size, morphology and anatomy of the berries, all ...

Differential Leaf Cuticular Wax Responses to Cold Acclimation in Annual Bluegrass (Poa annua L.) and Creeping Bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.)

open access: yesJournal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Winterkill is a major challenge on golf course putting greens in climates that support cool‐season turfgrass species, including annual bluegrass (Poa annua) and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera). The cuticle is a critical protective outer layer of above‐ground plant organs, but its role in the winter resistance of cool‐season grasses ...
