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 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 ...

The plant cuticle regulates apoplastic transport of salicylic acid during systemic acquired resistance [PDF]
Science Advances, 2020 Transport of salicylic acid is important for systemic immunity and is regulated by osmotic pressure and cuticle permeability. The plant cuticle is often considered a passive barrier from the environment.

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.

The plant cuticle: old challenges, new perspectives. [PDF]
J Exp Bot, 2017 As the interface between plant and environment, the plant cuticle plays a significant number of roles many of which relate to protection – against dehydration, UV and other abiotic stresses such as heavy wind and rain, and moreover against the array of ...

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,

The effects of plant cysteine proteinases on the nematode cuticle
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Plant-derived cysteine proteinases of the papain family (CPs) attack nematodes by digesting the cuticle, leading to rupture and death of the worm. The nematode cuticle is composed of collagens and cuticlins, but the specific molecular target(s)

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
