Cutin - Wikipedia
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.
The Plant Polyester Cutin: Biosynthesis, Structure, and Biological ...
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.
Cutin from agro-waste as a raw material for the production of ...
2017年8月8日 · Cutin is the main component of plant cuticles constituting the framework that supports the rest of the cuticle components. This biopolymer is composed of esterified bi- and trifunctional fatty acids. Despite its ubiquity in terrestrial plants, it has been underutilized as raw material due to its insolubility and lack of melting point.
Biophysical and biochemical characteristics of cutin, a plant …
2003年3月17日 · Cutin is a support biopolyester involved in waterproofing the leaves and fruits of higher plants, regulating the flow of nutrients among various plant cells and organs, and minimizing the deleterious impact of pathogens.
Cutin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Cutin is the “scaffolding” of the cuticle. It is a polymer of C16–C18 ester-linked dicarboxy-, hydroxy- and dihydroxy-fatty acids [7] which form a three-dimensional matrix, likely through cross-linkages with glycerol [8].

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 characteristic of the related polymer suberin.
The biophysical design of plant cuticles: an overview
2010年11月25日 · The lipid polymer cutin, which is the main constituent of the plant cuticle, has some unique biophysical properties resulting from its composition and structure. This review summarizes the progress made towards understanding the biophysical significance of this biopolymer with special focus on its structural, thermal, biomechanical, and hydric ...
The identification of cutin synthase: formation of the plant …
We have determined the enzymatic basis of cutin polymerization through characterization of a tomato extracellular acyltransferase, CD1, and its substrate, 2-mono (10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoyl)glycerol (2-MHG). CD1 has in vitro polyester synthesis activity and is required for cutin accumulation in vivo, indicating that it is a cutin synthase.
Building lipid barriers: biosynthesis of cutin and suberin
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.
Experiments involving partial depolymerization of tomato cutin have identified oligomers primarily consisting of directly coupled 10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acid monomers
