The aerial parts of plants are covered with a cuticle, a hydrophobic layer consisting of cutin
polyester and cuticular waxes that protects them from various environmental stresses …

The vital importance of plant surface wax in protecting tissue from environmental stresses is
reflected in the huge commitment of epidermal cells to cuticle formation. During cuticle …

Acyl lipids in Arabidopsis and all other plants have a myriad of diverse functions. These
include providing the core diffusion barrier of the membranes that separates cells and …

The plant cuticle is an extracellular lipid structure deposited over the aerial surfaces of land
plants, which seals the shoot and protects it from biotic and abiotic stresses. It is composed …

Plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles that play diverse
roles in plant development and response. Recently, impressive progress has been made in …

Sphingolipids and their phosphorylated derivatives are ubiquitous bio-active components of
cells. They are structural elements in the lipid bilayer and contribute to the dynamic nature of …

The trafficking and function of cell surface proteins in eukaryotic cells may require
association with detergent-resistant sphingolipid-and sterol-rich membrane domains. The …

In the absence of cell migration, plant architecture is largely determined by the direction and
extent of cell expansion during development. In this report, we show that very-long-chain …

Sphingomyelin constitutes membrane microdomains such as lipid raft, caveolae, and
clathrin-coated pits and implicates in the regulation of trans-membrane signaling. On the …

Sphingolipids are major components of the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and other
endomembranes of plant cells. Previous compositional analyses have focused only on …
