“…The outermost layer of the cuticle is formed by epicuticular waxes that may be deposited as an amorphous film or in the form of crystals . In many species, a specific hydrophobic layer called the cuticle proper can be distinguished beneath the epicuticular wax layer (Sitte and Rennier, 1963;Schreiber and Schönherr, 2009) (Figure 1B). This layer very hydrophobic and consists mainly of the aliphatic polyester cutin, which is the main structural component, and intracuticular wax.…”

“…This layer very hydrophobic and consists mainly of the aliphatic polyester cutin, which is the main structural component, and intracuticular wax. The layer below the cuticle proper is less hydrophobic and is often referred to as the cuticular layer (Sitte and Rennier, 1963;Schreiber and Schönherr, 2009). The cuticular layer contains additional polysaccharides and forms a continuum with the cell wall, potentially with gradually decreasing proportions of lipid material towards the inner side of the cell wall ( Figure 1B) (Sitte and Rennier, 1963;Schreiber and Schönherr, 2009).…”

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 epidermis is the primary diffusion barrier in the shoot, the Casparian strips and suberin lamellae of the endodermis and the periderm represent the diffusion barriers in the root. Different classes of molecules contribute to the formation of extracellular diffusion barriers in an organ-and tissue-specific manner. Cutin and wax are the major components of the cuticle, lignin forms the early Casparian strip, and suberin is deposited in the stage II endodermis and the periderm. The current status of our understanding of the relationships between the chemical structure, ultrastructure and physiological functions of plant diffusion barriers is discussed. Specific aspects of the synthesis of diffusion barrier components and protocols that can be used for the assessment of barrier function and important barrier properties are also presented.

“…In addition, thick cuticles sometimes contain low amounts of waxy epicuticular deposits (Amaral et al 1985). Lack of correlation between cuticle thickness, xeromorphism and anti-transpiring efficiency has been frequently shown (Schieferstein and Loomis 1956, Kurtz 1958, Sitte and Rennier 1963, Hull and Baker 1979, Lyshede 1982, Jordaan and Kruger 1998. In plants, water loss occurs not only through the stomata, but also across the cuticle.…”

The effects of the contents and chemical composition of the foliar epicuticular waxes of species from the caatinga (Aspidosperma pyrifolium, Capparis yco, Maytenus rigida and Ziziphus joazeiro) and cerrado (Aristolochia esperanzae, Didymopanax vinosum, Strychnos pseudoquina and Tocoyena formosa) were evaluated as to the resistance to water loss by means of an experimental device constructed for this purpose. In general, the waxes of the caatinga species investigated were more efficient against water loss than cerrado species. Increase of the thickness of the waxy deposits from 40 to 90µ g.cm −2 had no significant effect on the resistance to water loss. The chemistry of the wax constituents was shown to be an important factor to determine the degree of resistance to evaporation. n-Alkanes and alcoholic triterpenes were the most efficient barriers, while hentriacontan-16-one (a ketone) and ursolic acid (an acid triterpene) revealed low efficiency. The higher efficiency of the waxes of the leaves from caatinga species (mainly those of C. yco and Z. joazeiro) is probably accounted for the predominance of n-alkanes in their composition. The lower efficiency of the waxes of A. pyrifolium (caatinga), T. formosa and A. esperanzae (both species from the cerrado) is probably a consequence of the predominance of triterpenoids in the waxes of the two former species and hentriacontan-16-one in the latter.

“…Outside this occurs the so-called cutinized layer or cuticular layer, in which cellulose and pectin are encrusted with cutin. The outermost layers of this multilayered wall consist of the cuticle proper (cuticularized layer) made up mainly or entirely of cutin covered with a thin layer of more or less pure wax (Roelofsen, 1952;Esau, 1953;Sitte and Rennier, 1963;Crips, 1965;Martin and Juniper, 1970).…”

THE STRUCTURE OF THE CUTICLE IN RELATION TO CUTICULAR TRANSPIRATION IN LEAVES OF THE HALOPHYTE SUAEDA MARITIMA (L.) DUM.

SUMMARYBoth cuticle and cell wall of the epidermal cells of leaves of Suaeda maritima showed a considerable increase in thickness (approximately 1-8 times) in plants grown in the presence of 0-34 M sodium chloride when compared with plants grown without added sodium chloride. Differences in the structure of the cuticle were also observed. The rate of transpiration in the dark was markedly reduced with increasing concentrations of salt in the external medium. Cuticular transpiration appears to be related to cuticular thickness and to fall with increasing salinity.
