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 have developed a complex defense system against diverse pests and pathogens.
Once pathogens overcome mechanical barriers to infection, plant receptors initiate signaling …

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 …

Cuticular waxes and cutin form the cuticle, a hydrophobic layer covering the aerial surfaces
of land plants and acting as a protective barrier against environmental stresses. Very-long …

Land plant aerial organs are covered by a hydrophobic layer called the cuticle that serves as
a waterproof barrier protecting plants against desiccation, ultraviolet radiation, and …

The Oomycota include many economically significant microbial pathogens of crop species.
Understanding the mechanisms by which oomycetes infect plants and identifying methods to …

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 …

During the development of Arabidopsis and other land plants, diffusion barriers are formed
in the apoplast of specialized tissues within a variety of plant organs. While the cuticle of the …

Fungal phytopathogens are the cause of most plant diseases. Notably, they inflict damage
on many economically important crops. Plant-fungus interaction commences with the contact …
