Analysis of composition, morphology, and biosynthesis of cuticular wax in wild type bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and its glossy mutant [PDF]

, 2021
In this study, cuticular wax load, its chemical composition, and biosynthesis, was studied during development of wild type (WT) bilberry fruit and its natural glossy type (GT) mutant. GT fruit cuticular wax load was comparable with WT fruits.

Epicuticular wax accumulation and regulation of wax pathway gene expression during bioenergy Sorghum stem development

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Bioenergy sorghum is a drought-tolerant high-biomass C4 grass targeted for production on annual cropland marginal for food crops due primarily to abiotic constraints.

Overexpression of Arabidopsis ECERIFERUM1 promotes wax very-long-chain alkane biosynthesis and influences plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses [PDF]

, 2011
Land plant aerial organs are covered by a hydrophobic layer called the cuticle that serves as a waterproof barrier protecting plants against desiccation, ultraviolet radiation, and pathogens.

Cuticular Waxes of Arabidopsis thaliana Shoots: Cell-Type-Specific Composition and Biosynthesis

Plants, 2017
It is generally assumed that all plant epidermis cells are covered with cuticles, and the distinct surface geometries of pavement cells, guard cells, and trichomes imply functional differences and possibly different wax compositions. However, experiments

Wounding Triggers Wax Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis Leaves in an Abscisic Acid-Dependent and Jasmonoyl-Isoleucine-Dependent Manner. [PDF]

Plant Cell Physiol, 2023
Wounding caused by insects or abiotic factors such as wind and hail can cause severe stress for plants. Intrigued by the observation that wounding induces expression of genes involved in surface wax synthesis in a jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile ...

Environment-Driven Adaptations of Leaf Cuticular Waxes Are Inheritable for Medicago ruthenica

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Cuticular waxes covering the plant surface play pivotal roles in helping plants adapt to changing environments. However, it is still not clear whether the responses of plant cuticular waxes to their growing environments are inheritable.

FRUIT DEVELOPMENT AND WAX BIOSYNTHESIS IN JOJOBA [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1978
SUMMARYSimmondsia chinensis (jojoba), a wild desert shrub, is known for its fruit which contains unique wax esters similar in nature to sperm‐whale oil (Yermanos and Duncan, 1976). In this work, the ability of the fruit to synthesize the wax esters has been studied from a very early stage to ripening.

Advances in Biosynthesis, Regulation, and Function of Apple Cuticular Wax

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
A layer of cuticular wax is deposited on the surface of terrestrial plants, which reduces the damage caused by environmental stress and maintains growth in a relatively stable internal environment. Apple cuticular wax is an important part of the fruit epidermis that plays an essential role in apple development, storage, and adaptation to environmental ...
