Structure and Biosynthesis of Branched Wax Compounds on Wild Type and Wax Biosynthesis Mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2017
The cuticle is a waxy composite that protects the aerial organs of land plans from non-stomatal water loss. The chemical make-up of the cuticular wax mixture plays a central role in defining the water barrier, but structure-function relationships have not been established so far, in part due to gaps in our understanding of wax structures and ...

Regulatory mechanisms underlying cuticular wax biosynthesis

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2021
AbstractPlants are sessile organisms that have developed hydrophobic cuticles that cover their aerial epidermal cells to protect them from terrestrial stresses. The cuticle layer is mainly composed of cutin, a polyester of hydroxy and epoxy fatty acids, and cuticular wax, a mixture of very-long-chain fatty acids (>20 carbon atoms) and their ...

Modification of Cuticular Wax Composition and Biosynthesis by Epichloë gansuensis in Achnatherum inebrians at Different Growing Periods

Agriculture, 2022
Cuticular wax plays a critical role as a plant protectant against various environmental stresses. We predicted that the presence of the mutualistic fungal endophyte Epichloë gansuensis in Achnatherum inebrians would change both the composition of leaf ...

Ectopic expression of an apple ABCG transporter gene MdABCG25 increases plant cuticle wax accumulation and abiotic stress tolerance

Fruit Research, 2023
A number of enzymes and transcription factors involved in cuticular wax biosynthesis have been identified in numerous plant species. The pathway of wax biosynthesis is relatively definite. The molecular basis of cuticular wax deposition is still unclear,

EgMIXTA1, a MYB-Type Transcription Factor, Promotes Cuticular Wax Formation in Eustoma grandiflorum Leaves

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In the aerial plant organs, cuticular wax forms a hydrophobic layer that can protect cells from dehydration, repel pathogen attacks, and prevent organ fusion during development. The MIXTA gene encodes an MYB-like transcription factor, which is associated

Rice OsGL1-6 is involved in leaf cuticular wax accumulation and drought resistance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Cuticular wax is a class of organic compounds that comprises the outermost layer of plant surfaces. Plant cuticular wax, the last barrier of self-defense, plays an important role in plant growth and development.
