Abstract:
... Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a versatile technique of surface characterization, providing accurate information about the topography and other wide variety of magnitudes at submicron scale. It is extensively utilized in materials science, but its use in other disciplines such as paleobotany is infrequent. In this review, we introduce the main concepts of AFM to paleobotanists, comparing the cha ...

The cuticles were attributed to a seed fern and several types of coniferalean plants based on the epidermal characters. The most predominant plant in the flora is a peltasperm seed fern, Germaropteris mart ...

Abstract:
... Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2; c. 94.5–93.9 Ma) offers insight into the mechanisms of past climate change linked to organic productivity and carbon sequestration. It has been studied extensively, but the vast majority of data come from marine records, thus providing an incomplete view of past climate dynamics. Here we integrate new high-resolution data and published records on depositional environm ...

Abstract:
... The root cap surrounding the tip of plant roots is thought to protect the delicate stem cells in the root meristem. We discovered that the first layer of root cap cells is covered by an electron-opaque cell wall modification resembling a plant cuticle. Cuticles are polyester-based protective structures considered exclusive to aerial plant organs. Mutations in cutin biosynthesis genes affect the co ...

As with all aerial plant organs, fleshy fruits are encased in a hydrophobic cuticle that must fulfil multiple functions, including limiting desiccation and preventing microbial infection, which in the case of fruits maintains palatability and promotes seed dispersal. Fruit cuticles have many features in common with those of vegetative organs, but also have unique characteristics, including the fac ...

Abstract:
... To breach the plant cuticle, many plant pathogenic fungi differentiate specialized infection structures (appressoria). In Colletotrichum orbiculare (cucumber anthracnose fungus), this differentiation requires unique proper G₁/S phase progression, regulated by two‐component GTPase activating protein CoBub2/CoBfa1 and GTPase CoTem1. Since their homologues regulate mitotic exit, cytokinesis, or septu ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: The plant cuticle is the outermost layer covering aerial tissues and is composed of cutin and waxes. The cuticle plays an important role in protection from environmental stresses and glaucousness, the bluish-white colouration of plant surfaces associated with cuticular waxes, has been suggested as a contributing factor in crop drought tolerance. However, the cuticle structure and compo ...
