The Response of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Membranes Against Heat and Light

Jose J. Benitez et al.

Summary: In this study, the thermal and UV-Vis screening capacity of isolated tomato fruit cuticle membranes were investigated using DSC and UV-Vis spectrometry. The results showed that the glass transition of the cuticle membranes was less defined and shifted towards higher temperatures during fruit ripening. The heat capacity of the membranes depended on the developmental stage of the fruits, and the UV-B light was screened by 99% regardless of the fruit's stage. The thickness increment and phenolic compounds accumulation in the cuticle membranes contributed to the blocking capacity towards UV-A.

Radiationless mechanism of UV deactivation by cuticle phenolics in plants

Ana Gonzalez Moreno et al.

Summary: This study proposes a mechanism by which phenolic compounds in plant cuticles provide photoprotection. Through transient absorption spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations, it is suggested that these compounds can deactivate excited states and emit fluorescence as a way to shield against UV radiation. The cuticle acts as the primary protective barrier against UV radiation, with different aromatic domains playing a special role in this photostable and photodynamic mechanism observed in land plants.

The ARRE RING-Type E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Negatively Regulates Cuticular Wax Biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana by Controlling ECERIFERUM1 and ECERIFERUM3 Protein Levels

Shuang Liu et al.

Summary: The outer epidermal cell walls of plant shoots are covered with a continuous lipid structure called a cuticle, providing protection from various environmental factors. Cuticular wax synthesis is tightly regulated by transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms, as well as via the ubiquitin-26S proteasome system. An E3 ubiquitin ligase, AtARRE, has been identified as a negative regulator of wax biosynthesis in Arabidopsis, affecting the alkane-forming branch of the pathway.

Silencing GhFAR3.1 reduces wax accumulation in cotton leaves and leads to increased susceptibility to drought stress

Yajie Lu et al.

Summary: In this study, 10 GhFARs were identified in Upland cotton, with GhFAR3.1 being highly expressed in leaves and playing a crucial role in wax synthesis and drought tolerance. Silencing GhFAR3.1 resulted in reduced wax content and water retention in leaves, leading to decreased drought tolerance and plant wilting. The results suggest that leaf wax content is essential for water retention and drought tolerance, highlighting the importance of GhFAR3.1 in cotton development.
