Direct Depolymerization Coupled to Liquid Extraction Surface Analysis-High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for the Characterization of the Surface of Plant Tissues [PDF]
The cuticle, the outermost layer covering the epidermis of most aerial organs of land plants, can have a heterogeneous composition even on the surface of the same organ.

An overview of food lipids toward food lipidomics
Abstract Increasing evidence regarding lipids’ beneficial effects on human health has changed the common perception of consumers and dietary officials about the role(s) of food lipids in a healthy diet. However, lipids are a wide group of molecules with specific nutritional and bioactive properties.

Arabidopsis DREB26/ERF12 and its close relatives regulate cuticular wax biosynthesis under drought stress condition. [PDF]
SUMMARY Land plants have evolved a hydrophobic cuticle on the surface of aerial organs as an adaptation to ensure survival in terrestrial environments. Cuticle is mainly composed of lipids, namely cutin and intracuticular wax, with epicuticular wax deposited on plant surface.

In a Different Light: Irradiation-Induced Cuticular Wax Accumulation Fails to Reduce Cuticular Transpiration. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The cuticle, an extracellular hydrophobic layer impregnated with waxy lipids, serves as the primary interface between plant leaves and their environment and is thus subject to external cues. A previous study on poplar leaves revealed that environmental conditions outdoors promoted the deposition of about 10‐fold more cuticular wax compared to ...

Cuticular waxes affect fruit surface color in blueberries
In blueberry, fruit color is one of the most important quality traits affecting consumers' choices. Both pigments and waxes impact fruit color; however, their roles have not been clearly elucidated. Here, the contributions of waxes and anthocyanins to fruit color are characterized.

It is well established that waxes built up the barrier properties of cuticles, since their extraction in organic solvent e.g. chloroform increases diffusion of water and organic compounds by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Leaf surface waxes can be divided in epicuticular (on the surface of the cuticular membrane) and intracuticular (embedded in the cutin ...

Wax morphology, wax chemistry, and leaf wettability are analyzed on three different wheat varieties. In addition, various test systems are developed that mimic the properties of the plant surface individually and in combination. To investigate the influence of surface properties on fungal development, wheat leaves and the test systems are inoculated ...

Abstract The plant cuticle, which covers all aerial parts of plants in their primary developmental stage, is the major barrier against water loss from leaves. Accumulation of cutin and waxes has often been linked to drought tolerance. Here we investigated whether cutin and waxes play a role in the drought adaption of barley mimicked by osmotic stress ...

Chemical-physical characterization of isolated plant cuticles subjected to low-dose γ-irradiation [PDF]
Isolated tomato fruit cuticles were subjected to low dose (80 Gy) γ-irradiation, as a potential methodology to prevent harvested fruit and vegetables spoilage.
