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.

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 effects of plant cysteine proteinases on the nematode cuticle [PDF]
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)

Nonlinear Porous Diffusion Modeling of Hydrophilic Ionic Agrochemicals in Astomatous Plant Cuticle Aqueous Pores: A Mechanistic Approach [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 The agricultural industry requires improved efficacy of sprays being applied to crops and weeds in order to reduce their environmental impact and deliver improved financial returns. Enhanced foliar uptake is one means of improving efficacy.

Cuticle Surface Coat of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2011 The surface coat (SC) of the plant-parasitic nematode cuticle is an understudied area of current research, even though it likely plays key roles in both nematode-plant and nematode-microbe interactions. Although in several ways Caenorhabditis elegans is a poor model for plant-parasitic nematodes, it is a useful starting point for investigations of the ...

, 2007 The nematode cuticle is an extremely flexible and resilient exoskeleton that permits locomotion via attachment to muscle, confers environmental protection and allows growth by molting.

Stocky1, a Novel Gene Involved in Maize Seedling Development and Cuticle Integrity
Plants, 2022 The cuticle is the plant’s outermost layer that covers the surfaces of aerial parts. This structure is composed of a variety of aliphatic molecules and is well-known for its protective role against biotic and abiotic stresses in plants.

The Multifaceted Roles of Fungal Cutinases during Infection
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Cuticles cover the aerial epidermis cells of terrestrial plants and thus represent the first line of defence against invading pathogens, which must overcome this hydrophobic barrier to colonise the inner cells of the host plant.

Invasive ambrosia beetles have zinc-enriched mandibles: support for the metal-prioritization hypothesis and insights into the mechanisms of metal deposition. [PDF]
Sci RepThe hardness of the structural tools of insects can be increased through the integration of transition metals into the cuticle. However, questions remain regarding metal predominancies for insect cuticle (i.e., metal-prioritization hypothesis) and ...
