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: An Ancient Guardian Barrier Set Against Long-Standing Rivals. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 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: 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 ...

Multifunctional Roles of Plant Cuticle During Plant-Pathogen Interactions. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 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 ...

FERONIA defines intact tissue boundaries through cuticle development. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Plant cuticle is the first hydrophobic barrier between the epidermis and the environment. Upon wounding, damaged tissues undergo healing processes that involve cuticle or callus formation at the wound site.

Could a cuticle be an active component of plant immunity?

Biologia Plantarum, 2023
The cuticle is the first physical barrier between the plant and the outer environment. The cuticle is no longer viewed as a rigid "inert sealer".

Plants Specifically Modulate the Microbiome of Root-Lesion Nematodes in the Rhizosphere, Affecting Their Fitness

Microorganisms, 2021
Plant-parasitic nematodes are a major constraint on agricultural production. They significantly impede crop yield. To complete their parasitism, they need to locate, disguise, and interact with plant signals exuded in the rhizosphere of the host plant. A
