Abstract Background and Aims Prior work has examined cuticle function, composition ultrastructure in many plant species, but much remains to be learned about how these features are related. This study aims elucidate relationships between via analysis of development adult maize (Zea mays L.) leaves, while also providing the most comprehensive investigation date leaf cuticles this important crop plant. Methods We water permeability, wax cutin gas chromatography, transmission electron...
Abstract The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed. Dissecting genetic architecture natural variation for maize (Zea mays L.) leaf cuticular conductance (gc) important identifying genes relevant improving crop productivity in drought-prone environments. To this end, we performed an integrated genome- transcriptome-wide association studies (GWAS TWAS) identify candidate putatively...
Plant cuticles are composed of wax and cutin evolved in the land plants as a hydrophobic boundary that reduces water loss from plant epidermis. The expanding maize adult leaf displays dynamic, proximodistal gradient cuticle development, base to tip. Laser microdissection RNA Sequencing (LM-RNAseq) was performed along this gradient, complementary network analyses identified potential regulators biosynthesis deposition. A weighted gene coexpression (WGCN) analysis suggested previously...
Plant epidermal cuticles are composed of hydrophobic lipids that provide a barrier to non-stomatal water loss, and arose in land plants as an adaptation the dry terrestrial environment. The expanding maize adult leaf displays dynamic, proximodistal gradient cuticle development, from base tip. Recently, our gene co-expression network analyses together with reverse genetic suggested previously undescribed function for PHYTOCHROME-mediated light signaling during cuticular wax deposition....
Abstract Although extensive prior work has characterized cuticle composition, function, ultrastructure and development in many plant species, much remains to be learned about how these features are interrelated. Moreover, very little is known the adult maize leaf spite of its significance for agronomically important traits this major crop. We analyzed ultrastructure, permeability along developmental gradient partially expanded leaves probe relationships between features. The water barrier...

SUMMARY Studying the genetic basis of leaf wax composition and its correlation with cuticular conductance ( g c ) is crucial for improving crop water-use efficiency. The cuticle, which comprises a cutin matrix various waxes, functions as an extracellular hydrophobic layer, protecting against water loss upon stomatal closure. To address limited understanding genes associated natural variation waxes their connection to , we conducted statistical analyses using transcriptomic, metabolomic,...
