Comparative profiles of the cuticular chemicals and transpiration barrier properties in various organs of Chinese flowering cabbage and Chinese kale

Hua Huang et al.

Summary: Through the study of different organs of Chinese flowering cabbage and Chinese kale, it is found that there are many species- and organ-specific differences in morphological, chemical, and physiological levels. These differences are closely related to the cuticular chemicals in various organs and species.

Diffusion of volatile organics and water in the epicuticular waxes of petunia petal epidermal cells

Shaunak Ray et al.

Summary: Plant cuticles, consisting of crystalline and amorphous waxes, play a crucial role in regulating the exchange of molecules between plants and the atmosphere. This study investigated the effect of wax composition on the diffusion of water and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through the cuticle using a model system based on the epicuticular waxes of Petunia hybrida flower petals. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the diffusivity of VOCs was significantly influenced by the crystallinity of the wax, with up to a 30-fold increase in diffusivity observed in completely amorphous waxes. The arrangement and spacing of crystalline unit cells also had a significant impact on the diffusion of water and higher molecular weight VOCs. Additionally, the study found that the plant cuticle plays a differential role in controlling the emission of individual VOCs by regulating their composition, quantity, and dynamics.

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.

QTL analysis reveals the effect of CER1-1 and CER1-3 to reduce fruit water loss by increasing cuticular wax alkanes in citrus fruit

Hongbin Yang et al.

Summary: Postharvest water loss can affect fruit quality, and the study found that alkanes in cuticular wax may play an important role in limiting fruit water loss. Candidate genes CER1-1 and CER1-3 were identified as potentially involved in alkane synthesis, and heterologous expression in Arabidopsis confirmed their role in reducing leaf water loss. Coating with C28 alkane could reduce postharvest fruit water loss, providing new insights for developing coating agents and breeding citrus varieties with better storage performance.

Variation in Petal and Leaf Wax Deposition Affects Cuticular Transpiration in Cut Lily Flowers

Guiping Cheng et al.

Summary: The cuticular transpiration rate and wax composition of lily cultivars varied between cultivars and organs, indicating that different wax coverage may affect the shelf life of cut flowers. The main wax constituents were very-long-chain aliphatics dominated by n-alkanes, with differences in chain-length distributions between organs.

Arabidopsis thaliana Cuticle Composition Contributes to Differential Defense Response to Botrytis cinerea

Wendy Aragon et al.

Summary: This study revealed that mutants altered in cuticle components exhibit resistance to the pathogen Botrytis cinerea, with cutin mutants showing resistance while wax mutants did not. Transcriptomic analysis showed that genes related to cell wall integrity and ROS accumulation were upregulated in cutin mutants but not in wax mutants. These findings suggest that different defense pathways may be activated in mutants with a resistant phenotype.
