ZmCER1, a putative ECERIFERUM 1 protein in maize, functions in cuticular wax biosynthesis and bulliform cell development

Crop Journal
The cuticular wax, acting as the ultimate defense barrier, is essential for the normal morphogenesis of plant organs. Despite this importance, the connection between wax composition and leaf development has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we

Characterization of increased cuticular wax mutant and analysis of genes involved in wax biosynthesis in Dianthus spiculifolius. [PDF]

Hortic Res, 2018
Cuticular wax formation on the surface of plant leaves is associated with drought-stress tolerance. The identification of wax biosynthesis-related genes will contribute to the genetic improvement of drought resistance in plants. In this study, we characterize a novel Dianthus spiculifolius mutant with increased cuticular wax.

Cuticular wax in wheat: biosynthesis, genetics, and the stress response

Frontiers in Plant Science
All terrestrial plants possess a hydrophobic cuticle in the outermost layer of their aerial organs that is composed of cutin and wax. The cuticle serves as the first barrier between the plant and the surrounding environment and plays a key role in the ...

Transcription factor <i>CsESE3</i> positively modulates both jasmonic acid and wax biosynthesis in citrus. [PDF]

aBIOTECH, 2022
PLIP lipases can initiate jasmonic acid (JA) biosynthesis. However, little is known about the transcriptional regulation of this process. In this study, an ERF transcription factor (CsESE3) was found to be co-expressed with all necessary genes for JA ...

Preharvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene and Ethephon altered cuticular wax biosynthesis and fruit quality of apples at harvest and during cold storage

Horticultural Plant Journal, 2022
To investigate the roles of Harvista (a sprayable 1-methylcyclopropene, 1-MCP, available component is 150 g · hm-2) and Ethephon (1 mL · L-1) applied at preharvest in apple (Malus domestica Borkh. 'Golden Delicious') fruit cuticular wax biosynthesis, the

Brassica napus BnaC9.DEWAX1 Negatively Regulates Wax Biosynthesis via Transcriptional Suppression of BnCER1-2. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Very-long-chain alkane plays an important role as an aliphatic barrier. We previously reported that BnCER1-2 was responsible for alkane biosynthesis in Brassica napus and improved plant tolerance to drought.

Chemical composition and morphology of apple cuticular wax during fruit growth and development

Fruit Research, 2022
Cuticular wax covers the surface of the apple epidermis and plays an important role in water loss and pathogen resistance. However, little is known about wax biosynthesis during apple fruit development.

Wheat Transcription Factor TaMYB60 Modulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis by Activating TaFATB and TaCER1 Expression. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Cuticular wax mixtures cover the epidermis of land plants and shield plant tissues from abiotic and biotic stresses. Although cuticular wax-associated traits are employed to improve the production of bread wheat, regulatory mechanisms underlying wheat ...
