Multifunctional Roles of Plant Cuticle During Plant-Pathogen Interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 In land plants the cuticle is the outermost layer interacting with the environment. This lipophilic layer comprises the polyester cutin embedded in cuticular wax; and it forms a physical barrier to protect plants from desiccation as well as from diverse ...

The cuticle and plant defense to pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The cuticle provides a physical barrier against water loss and protects against irradiation, xenobiotics and pathogens. Components of the cuticle are perceived by invading fungi and activate developmental processes during pathogenesis.

The Plant Cuticle: An Ancient Guardian Barrier Set Against Long-Standing Rivals [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The aerial surfaces of plants are covered by a protective barrier formed by the cutin polyester and waxes, collectively referred to as the cuticle. Plant cuticles prevent the loss of water, regulate transpiration, and facilitate the transport of gases ...

INFRARED AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPIC FEATURES OF PLANT CUTICLES: A REVIEW [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 The cuticle is one of the most important plant barriers. It is an external and continuous lipid membrane that covers the surface of epidermal cells and whose main function is to prevent the massive loss of water. The spectroscopic characterization of the

The Role of Cutinsomes in Plant Cuticle Formation [PDF]
Cells, 2020 The cuticle commonly appears as a continuous lipophilic layer located at the outer epidermal cell walls of land plants. Cutin and waxes are its main components. Two methods for cutin synthesis are considered in plants.

Chemical and Ultrastructural Changes in the Cuticle Observed in RabA2b Overexpressing Plants [PDF]
PlantsThe plant cuticle is a hydrophobic layer covering the cell wall that protects cells from pathogen invasion and water loss. In this study, we analyzed the cuticles of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants overexpressing the vesicular trafficking small ...

Cuticle structure in relation to chemical composition: re-assessing the prevailing model [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The surface of most aerial plant organs is covered with a cuticle that provides protection against multiple stress factors including dehydration. Interest on the nature of this external layer dates back to the beginning of the 19th century and since then,
