The Making of Plant Armor: The Periderm

Olga Serra et al.

Summary: The periderm acts as armor protecting the plant's inner tissues from biotic and abiotic stress. It is composed of a meristematic tissue called the phellogen, or cork cambium, and its derivatives: the lignosuberized phellem and the phelloderm. Research on the periderm has mainly focused on the chemical composition of the phellem due to its relevance as a raw material for industrial processes, with an increasing interest in the regulatory network underlying periderm development for improving plant resilience and CO2 sequestration.

Building a Barrier: The Influence of Different Wax Fractions on the Water Transpiration Barrier of Leaf Cuticles

Pascal Seufert et al.

Summary: Waxes are critical in limiting non-stomatal water loss in higher terrestrial plants, mainly composed of very long-chain aliphatics (VLCAs), while triterpenoids (TRPs) play little or no role in controlling water loss.

Vicariance Between Cercis siliquastrum L. and Ceratonia siliqua L. Unveiled by the Physical-Chemical Properties of the Leaves' Epicuticular Waxes

Rui F. P. Pereira et al.

Summary: We found evidence that the physical-chemical characterization of plant leaves' epicuticular waxes can provide insights into vicariant events. The similarity between Cercis siliquastrum and Ceratonia siliqua in terms of their habitats, climates, and epicuticular waxes suggests a vicariant process. Analyzing the epicuticular waxes confirmed the functional similarity between the two species.

The Surfaces of the Ceratonia siliqua L. (Carob) Leaflet: Insights from Physics and Chemistry

S. Rodriguez et al.

Summary: This study investigates the surface structure of the Ceratonia siliqua leaflet, which has a sophisticated light and water management system. The surface reflects solar radiation diffusely to lower the surface temperature and keep it dry. This natural strategy inspires the development of dual-functional material systems for applications such as antiglare and water-repelling coatings.

PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DEFENSES OF Cenostigma pyramidale (FABACEAE): A PIONEER SPECIES IN SUCCESSIONAL CAATINGA AREAS

Izabella Maria Cintra Ribeiro et al.

Summary: Cenostigma pyramidale, a pioneer species in Caatinga, exhibits morphological and physiological adaptations to xeromorphic conditions and herbivory. Leaf samples were collected to evaluate herbivory and sclerophylly, with results showing an inverse relationship between the two. Further analysis revealed anatomical and chemical differences in leaves at different successional stages, indicating plant acclimation to diverse environmental conditions.

Leaf morphoanatomical traits of Jacquinia armillaris Jacq. (Theophrastoideae-Primulaceae) in two xeric shrublands from Venezuela

Yutcelia Carolina Galviz et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate leaf anatomy of Jacquinia armillaris in two different Venezuelan xeric shrublands to evaluate possible variations caused by the environments. Leaf samples were collected in La Tortuga Island and Turpialito, showing differences in leaf traits such as size, epidermis cells, and stomatal density between the plants from the two sites.

Evolutionary insight of plant cuticle biosynthesis in bryophytes

Haoyu Li et al.

Summary: Cuticle is an adaptive innovation in plant terrestrialization, contributing greatly to plant development and stress tolerance. Recent studies on cuticle biosynthesis in bryophytes have shed new light on the origins and evolution of plant cuticle biosynthesis, providing valuable insights into this important aspect of plant biology.
