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 plant cuticle is an extracellular hydrophobic layer that covers the aerial epidermis of all
land plants, providing protection against desiccation and external environmental stresses …

Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3. 1.20) catalyzes the last reaction in
the acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). DGAT activity resides mainly …

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 …

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 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 …

Drought stress activates several defense responses in plants, such as stomatal closure,
maintenance of root water uptake, and synthesis of osmoprotectants. Accumulating …

Cuticular waxes and cutin form the cuticle, a hydrophobic layer covering the aerial surfaces
of land plants and acting as a protective barrier against environmental stresses. Very-long …

In land plants, very-long-chain (VLC) alkanes are major components of cuticular waxes that
cover aerial organs, mainly acting as a waterproof barrier to prevent nonstomatal water loss …

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 …
