The plant cuticle is the first physical barrier between land plants and their terrestrial
environment. It consists of the polyester scaffold cutin embedded and sealed with organic …

The aerial surface of higher plants is covered by a hydrophobic layer of cuticular waxes to
protect plant tissues against enormous environmental challenges including the infection of …

Cytochrome P450 system consists of P450 monooxygenase and redox pattern (s). While the
importance of monooxygenases in plant metabolism is well documented, the metabolic roles …

The aerial epidermis of land plants is covered with a hydrophobic cuticle that protects the
plant against environmental stresses. Although the mechanisms of cuticle biosynthesis have …

Cuticular waxes cover the aerial surfaces of land plants and protect them from various
environmental stresses. Alkanes are major wax components and contribute to plant drought …

Despite decades of extensive study, the role of cuticular lipids in sustaining plant fitness is
far from being understood. We utilized genome‐edited tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) to …

Drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are major
environmental factors that adversely affect plant growth and crop production. As a protective …

Postharvest water loss causes fruit softening, wilting, and a decline in quality and commodity
value. Cuticular wax is a key barrier against non-stomatal water loss and plays a crucial role …

Having evolutionary significance in establishing colonization of terrestrial plants, cuticle
occurs to act as a continuous shield over the plant epidermal cells, facilitating multifunctional …

Abstract Very-long-chain (VLC) alkanes are the main wax compounds of tomato fruits and
leaves. ECERIFERUM1 (CER1) and ECERIFERUM3 (CER3) are the two key genes …
