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

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.

Plant cuticle under global change: Biophysical implications [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2018 Climatic stressors due to global change induce important modifications to the chemical composition of plant cuticles and their biophysical properties. In particular, plant cuticles can become heavier, stiffer and more inert, improving plant protection.

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]
, 2020 The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

Method for ultrastructural fine details of plant cuticles by transmission electron microscopy
MethodsX, 2021 This method for plant cuticles was adapted from spores and pollen procedure. It already enabled to prepare ultrathin plant cuticle sections of 60–70 nanometers of thickness, in high numbers as a routine, and allowed statistical measurements as any other ...

Overexpression of AtSHN1/WIN1 provokes unique defense responses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The plant cell cuticle serves as the first barrier protecting plants from mechanical injury and invading pathogens. The cuticle can be breached by cutinase-producing pathogens and the degradation products may activate pathogenesis signals in the invading
