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 ...

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.

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)

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

DPS1 regulates cuticle development and leaf senescence in rice
Food and Energy Security, 2021 Leaves are the primary food‐producing organs for a plant that carry out photosynthesis and contribute to biomass and grain yield. Leaf senescence is a developmentally regulated physiological process but early leaf senescence is known to negatively affect

In vitro and in vivo anthelmintic efficacy of plant cysteine proteinases against the rodent gastrointestinal nematode, Trichuris muris [PDF]
, 2006 We examined the mechanism of action and compared the anthelmintic efficacy of cysteine proteinases from papaya, pineapple, fig, kiwi fruit and Egyptian milkweed in vitro using the rodent gastrointestinal nematode Heligmosomoides polygyrus.
