Plant Surface Properties and Treatments

This study identifies a single genetic innovation, p-GPATs, as critical for the evolution of the plant cuticle and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal symbiosis during terrestrialization.

This study identifies the CUTIN SYNTHASE (CUS) enzyme family as a key driver in the evolution of the plant cuticle during terrestrialization.

This study identifies two regulatory modules that coordinate diel regulation of cuticle biosynthesis in plants.

This study identifies HvBDG1 as a gene essential for barley cuticular integrity and wax bloom, showing its interaction with SHINE transcription factors in cuticle development and revealing NUD's broader role beyond grain-specific functions.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze telomere-to-telomere assemblies in Populus trichocarpa, revealing complex KCS gene variation and its association with helitron transposons.

This study investigates how surfactant HLB values and adjuvants affect pesticide penetration in plant leaves, finding that HLB alignment with pesticide polarity optimizes uptake.

This paper investigates the anatomical and chemical composition of Eucalyptus suberea corky bark using microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, revealing differences in suberin and lignin content between two trees.

This study identifies additional GDSL-hydrolase enzymes beyond CUTIN SYNTHASE-LIKE 1 that contribute to cutin polymerization and remodeling in tomato fruit, revealing spatiotemporal variation in cutin structure.

The paper identifies ABA-regulated transcription factors that control exodermis formation in chickpea through suberin and lignin biosynthesis.

The study shows that removing epicuticular wax does not affect the rate of cuticular wax deposition, which remains constant in mature cherry laurel leaves.

This study identifies LMI2 as a key regulator of cuticle formation in the seed coat, which is essential for seed longevity.

This study shows that HtDCR-like1 regulates cuticle buckling in Hibiscus trionum by altering cuticle chemistry and mechanical properties, leading to impaired structural color formation.
