Cutin is one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle, which covers all aerial surfaces of plants, the other being cutan. It is an insoluble substance with waterproof quality.

2020年6月1日 · Cutin and suberin are hydrophobic lipid biopolyester components of the cell walls of specialized plant tissue and cell-types, where they facilitate adaptation to terrestrial habitats. Many steps in their biosynthetic pathways have been characterized, but the basis of their spatial deposition and precursor trafficking is not well understood.

2008年5月1日 · Cutin and suberin are the polymer matrices for lipophilic cell wall barriers. These barriers control the fluxes of gases, water and solutes, and also play roles in protecting plants from biotic and abiotic stresses and in controlling plant morphology.

Cutin, a polyester composed mostly of oxygenated fatty acids, serves as the framework of the plant cuticle. The same types of cutin monomers occur across most plant lineages, although some evolutionary trends are evident. Additionally, cutins from some species have monomer profiles that are characteristic of the related polymer suberin.

2012年5月20日 · We have determined the enzymatic basis of cutin polymerization through characterization of a tomato extracellular acyltransferase, CD1, and its substrate,...

Cutin is the waxy cuticle covering the aerial surfaces of plant providing a physical barrier to pathogens while allowing gas exchange [67]. The 9(10)-epoxy 18-hydroxy and 9,10,18-trihydroxy octadecanoic acids are common monomers of cutin poly esters in plants [13].

Extracellular lipids of plants can be analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Soluble waxes are extracted with chloroform and thus separated from the extracellular polymers cutin and suberin. Cutin and suberin have to be depolymerized using boron trifluoride-methanol or methanolic H …

Cutin and suberin are complex biopolyesters composed of fatty acids and aromatic compounds. Cutin is the major component of the cuticle, the waxy, water-repelling surface layer of cell walls exposed to the environment aboveground. By reducing the wettability of leaves and stems—and thereby affecting the… Read More

2016年4月29日 · Cutin, a polyester composed mostly of oxygenated fatty acids, serves as the framework of the plant cuticle. The same types of cutin monomers occur across most plant lineages, although some evolutionary trends are evident. Additionally, cutins from some species have monomer profiles that are characte …
