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 …

Very-long-chain fatty acids (ie, fatty acids with more than 18 carbon atoms; VLCFA) are
important molecules that play crucial physiological and structural roles in plants. VLCFA are …

The pollen wall is a specialized extracellular cell wall matrix that surrounds male
gametophytes and plays an essential role in plant reproduction. Uncovering the …

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 …

Fatty acids and their derivatives are essential building blocks for anther cuticle and pollen
wall formation. Disruption of lipid metabolism during anther and pollen development often …

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 …

Plants 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 …

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 …

Aerial plant surfaces are coated by a cuticular wax layer to protect against environmental
stresses, such as desiccation. In this study, we investigated the functional relationship …

The plant cuticle, a structure primarily composed of wax and cutin, forms a continuous
coating over most aerial plant surfaces. The cuticle plays important roles in plant tolerance to …
