In land plants the cuticle is the outermost layer interacting with the environment. This
lipophilic layer comprises the polyester cutin embedded in cuticular wax; and it forms a …

The aerial surfaces of plants are covered by a protective barrier formed by the cutin
polyester and waxes, collectively referred to as the cuticle. Plant cuticles prevent the loss of …

The cuticle provides a physical barrier against water loss and protects against irradiation,
xenobiotics, and pathogens. Components of the cuticle are perceived by invading fungi and …

As the interface between plant and environment, the plant cuticle plays a significant number
of roles many of which relate to protection–against dehydration, UV and other abiotic …

The plant epidermis or cuticle is constantly exposed to external and internal environmental
factors, including an enriched and diverse community of bacteria, yeast, fungi, viruses, and …

Terrestrialization of vascular plants, ie, Angiosperm, is associated with the development of
cuticular barriers that prevent biotic and abiotic stresses and support plant growth and …

Having evolutionary significance in establishing colonization of terrestrial plants, cuticle
occurs to act as a continuous shield over the plant epidermal cells, facilitating multifunctional …

A hydrophobic cuticle is deposited at the outermost extracellular matrix of the epidermis in
primary tissues of terrestrial plants. Besides forming a protective shield against the …

The major function of the plant epidermis is to form the cuticle, a functional permeability
barrier of the cell wall which prevents excessive water loss and the entry of harmful …

Cuticles, which are composed of a variety of aliphatic molecules, impregnate epidermal cell
walls forming diffusion barriers that cover almost all the aerial surfaces in higher plants. In …
