Toward a smart skin: Harnessing cuticle biosynthesis for crop adaptation to drought, salinity, temperature, and ultraviolet stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are major environmental factors that adversely affect plant growth and crop production.

Exploring and exploiting cuticle biosynthesis for abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in wheat and barley

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Wheat and barley are widely distributed cereal crops whose yields are adversely affected by environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and attacks of pathogens and pests.

Method for ultrastructural fine details of plant cuticles by transmission electron microscopy

open access: yesMethodsX, 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]

open access: yesPLoS 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

The Formation and Function of Plant Cuticles [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2013
The plant cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer that covers the aerial epidermis of all land plants, providing protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses. The past decade has seen considerable progress in assembling models for the biosynthesis of its two major components, the polymer cutin and cuticular waxes.

Estimation of the solubility parameters of model plant surfaces and agrochemicals: a valuable tool for understanding plant surface interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background Most aerial plant parts are covered with a hydrophobic lipid-rich cuticle, which is the interface between the plant organs and the surrounding environment.

DPS1 regulates cuticle development and leaf senescence in rice

open access: yesFood 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

A Guide to Elucidate the Hidden Multicomponent Layered Structure of Plant Cuticles by Raman Imaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The cuticle covers almost all plant organs as the outermost layer and serves as a transpiration barrier, sunscreen, and first line of defense against pathogens.

Dynamics of moisture diffusion and adsorption in plant cuticles including the role of cellulose

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
The plant cuticle provides a barrier between internal leaf tissues and the environment. Here the authors develop a mathematical model of water movement through the cuticle and describe a prominent role for cellulose in controlling the dynamics of ...

Changes of Morphology, Chemical Compositions, and the Biosynthesis Regulations of Cuticle in Response to Chilling Injury of Banana Fruit During Storage

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The plant cuticle covers almost all the outermost surface of aerial plant organs, which play a primary function in limiting water loss and responding to the environmental interactions.
