Plant cuticle - Wikipedia
A plant cuticle is a protecting film covering the outermost skin layer of leaves, young shoots and other aerial plant organs (aerial here meaning all plant parts not embedded in soil or other substrate) that have no periderm. The film consists of lipid and hydrocarbon polymers infused with wax, and is synthesized exclusively by the epidermal cells.
The Plant Cuticle: An Ancient Guardian Barrier Set Against Long ...
2021年6月24日 · We discuss how cutin monomers can activate fungal cutinases and initiate the formation of infection organs, the significant impacts of cuticle defects on the nature of plant–fungal interactions, along with the possible mechanisms raised thus far in the debate on how host plants perceive cutin monomers and/or cuticle defects to elicit defense ...
The plant cuticle: Current Biology - Cell Press
2023年3月27日 · The plant cuticle is one of the key innovations that allowed plants to colonize terrestrial ecosystems. By limiting molecular diffusion, the cuticle provides an interface that ensures controlled interactions between plant surfaces and their environments.
Plant Cuticle - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
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 of cutin polymer matrix and waxes, produced and secreted by epidermal cells.
Frontiers | Multifunctional Roles of Plant Cuticle During Plant ...
2018年7月24日 · Plant cuticle is the outermost layer of plants, which covers leaves, fruits, flowers, and non-woody stems of higher plants. It protects plants against drought, extreme temperatures, UV radiation, chemical attack, mechanical injuries, and pathogen/pest infection.
The plant cuticle: old challenges, new perspectives - PMC
2017年11月9日 · The plant cuticle exhibits a combination of barrier properties such as reduced water loss and protection against UV radiation and pathogen attack together with a high biodegradability and non-toxicity that has attracted the attention of researchers to create a bio-inspired synthetic replica as a substitute for petroleum-based plastics.
The biophysical design of plant cuticles: an overview
2010年11月25日 · The outer surfaces of epidermal cell walls are impregnated with an extracellular matrix called the cuticle. This composite matrix provides several functions at the interface level that enable plants to thrive in different habitats and withstand adverse environmental conditions.
Revisiting plant cuticle biophysics - Heredia - New Phytologist
2024年7月26日 · The plant cuticle is located at the interface of the plant with the environment, thus acting as a protective barrier against biotic and abiotic external stress factors, and regulating water loss. Additionally, it modulates mechanical stresses derived from internal tissues and also from the environment.
Editorial: Plant cuticle: From biosynthesis to ecological functions
2023年2月14日 · To gain a broader perspective on the role of the cuticle in plant performance, it will be crucial to understand the structural and functional properties of isolated cuticles in their natural scenario, and to also consider cuticle interactions with epidermal cells.
The Formation and Function of Plant Cuticles - Oxford Academic
2013年7月26日 · 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. The past decade has seen considerable progress in assembling models for the biosynthesis of its two major components, the polymer cutin and cuticular waxes.
