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 …

Plant cuticle is the hydrophobic protection layer that covers aerial plant organs and plays a
pivotal role during plant development and interactions of plants with the environment. The …

The aerial epidermis of land plants is covered with a hydrophobic cuticle that protects the
plant against environmental stresses. Although the mechanisms of cuticle biosynthesis have …

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 …

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 …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the complex processes at the interface between
plant and environment along with the multifunctional hydrophobic coverage of land plants …

Cuticles are the thin continuous layers of predominantly lipid material deposited on the outer
walls of epidermal cells and, thus, the interface between higher plants and their aerial …

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 …

Plants are sessile organisms that have developed hydrophobic cuticles that cover their
aerial epidermal cells to protect them from terrestrial stresses. The cuticle layer is mainly …
