Adaptation of cuticle metabolism to abiotic stress in plants
The cuticle, primarily composed of waxes and cutin polyesters, is a hydrophobic layer that covers the surfaces of plant tissues, evolving as physiological and biochemical adaptations to diverse environments. This layer acts as a diffusion barrier, preventing water loss and protecting plants against...
