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.

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.

Summary The cuticle is a protective layer covering aerial plant organs. We studied the function of waxes for the establishment of the cuticular barrier in barley (Hordeum vulgare). The barley eceriferum mutants cer‐za.227 and cer‐ye.267 display reduced wax loads, but the genes affected, and the consequences of the wax changes for the barrier function ...

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 ...

The sensor protein CgMsb2 contributes to the activation of CgMk1 and has overlapping functions with CgSho1 in plant surface sensing, appressorium formation, and pathogenicity. Abstract Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a hemibiotrophic ascomycete fungus that causes anthracnose on numerous plants worldwide and forms a specialized infection structure ...

ABSTRACT Plant leaf cuticle, a heterogeneous and lipophilic membrane, is an interface between the plant and its aerial environment and protects plants against abiotic and biotic stresses. This study used synchrotron‐based Fourier transform mid infrared (sFTIR) spectroscopy to evaluate the effect of heat stress on the compositional changes of leaf ...

ABSTRACT The plant cuticle, the outermost protective layer of most aboveground plant parts, serves as the first line of defence. While its role in various stress responses has been well‐studied, its role in ice encasement stress tolerance is unknown.

Revisiting plant cuticle biophysics
Summary The plant cuticle is located at the interface of the plant with the environment, thus acting as a protective barrier against biotic and abiotic external stress factors, and regulating water loss. Additionally, it modulates mechanical stresses derived from internal tissues and also from the environment.

SUMMARY Plants synthesize natural products via lineage‐specific offshoots of their core metabolic pathways, including fatty acid synthesis. Recent studies have shed light on new fatty acid‐derived natural products and their biosynthetic pathways in disparate plant species.
