The plant cuticle is the first physical barrier between land plants and their terrestrial
environment. It consists of the polyester scaffold cutin embedded and sealed with organic …

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 …

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, a structure primarily composed of wax and cutin, forms a continuous
coating over most aerial plant surfaces. The cuticle plays important roles in plant tolerance to …

Drought, salinity, extreme temperatures, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are major
environmental factors that adversely affect plant growth and crop production. As a protective …

Bryophytes including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are among the earliest land plants,
and occupy a crucial phylogenetic position to aid in the understanding of plant …

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

Highlights•Hundreds of structurally diverse fatty acids, referred to as unusual fatty acids,
occur in plant as components of cutin and seed oils and contribute to their functional …

The evolution of a lipid‐based cuticle on aerial plant surfaces that protects against
dehydration is considered a fundamental innovation in the colonization of the land by the …
