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.

Revisiting plant cuticle biophysics

New Phytologist
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.

Isolation and Compositional Analysis of Plant Cuticle Lipid Polyester Monomers. [PDF]

J Vis Exp, 2015
Terrestrial plants produce extracellular aliphatic biopolyesters that modify cell walls of specific tissues. Epidermal cells synthesize cutin, a polyester of glycerol and modified fatty acids that constitutes the framework of the cuticle that covers ...

The plant cuticle

Current Biology, 2023
The plant cuticle is one of the key innovations that allowed plants to colonize terrestrial ecosystems. By limiting molecular diffusion, the cuticle provides an interface that ensures controlled interactions between plant surfaces and their environments.

Mathematical Modelling of Hydrophilic Ionic Fertiliser Diffusion in Plant Cuticles: Lipophilic Surfactant Effects

Plants, 2019
The global agricultural industry requires improved efficacy of sprays being applied to weeds and crops to increase financial returns and reduce environmental impact. Enhancing foliar penetration is one way to improve efficacy.

Glutamate dehydrogenase 2 is required for virulence by facilitating fungal growth in the host hemocoel [PDF]

Virulence
Metarhizium robertsii, a fungal pathogen employed in pest biocontrol, can alkalize the surrounding environment, although the biological implications remain unclear. Here, we found that M.

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".
