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.

New insights into the properties of pubescent surfaces: peach fruit as model [PDF]
, 2011 The surface of peach (Prunus persica ‘Calrico’) is covered by a dense indumentum, which may serve various protective purposes. With the aim of relating structure to function, the chemical composition, morphology, and hydrophobicity of the peach skin was ...

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

Variation in the impact of stem scar and cuticle on water loss in highbush blueberry fruit argue for the use of water permeance as a selection criterion in breeding [PDF]
, 2017 The role of fruit scar on water loss from fresh harvested, fully blue highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit was studied on three germplasm lines from each of three half-sib families at University of Talca, Chile. The stem scar of half of the

Molecular Biology, Composition and Physiological Functions of Cuticle Lipids in Fleshy Fruits
Plants, 2022 Fleshy fruits represent a valuable resource of economic and nutritional relevance for humanity. The plant cuticle is the external lipid layer covering the nonwoody aerial organs of land plants, and it is the first contact between fruits and the ...
