AbstractPlant cuticles are composed of wax and cutin, and evolved in the land plants as a hydrophobic boundary that reduces water loss from the plant epidermis. The expanding maize adult leaf displays a dynamic, proximodistal gradient of cuticle development, from the leaf base to the tip. Laser microdissection RNA Sequencing (LM-RNAseq) was performed along this proximodistal gradient, and complementary network analyses identified potential regulators of cuticle biosynthesis and deposition. Correlations between cuticle development and cell wall biosynthesis processes were identified, as well as evidence of roles for auxin and brassinosteroids. In addition, our network analyses suggested a previously undescribed function for PHYTOCHROME-mediated light signaling during cuticular wax deposition. Genetic analyses reveal that the phyB1 phyB2 double mutant of maize exhibits abnormal cuticle composition, supporting predictions of our coexpression analyses. Reverse genetic analyses also show that phy mutants of the moss Physcomitrella patens exhibit abnormal cuticle composition, suggesting a role for light-stimulated development of cuticular waxes during plant evolution.

Relevant data on the sorption of organic compounds by isolated plant cuticles are reviewed and discussed in relation to the foliar penetration process. The chemical properties and structure of plant cuticles favor sorption of lipophilic compounds and play an important role in the penetration of biologically active substances. With organic acid auxins 2,4-D and NAA, and methylene blue as molecular probes, concentration, pH, temperature, and surfactants were important factors affecting sorption. The constituent waxes of the cuticle markedly inhibit sorption of a wide range of organic compounds. Octoxynol surfactants that have 5 or 7.5 polyoxyethylene groups interact with the epicuticular wax to enhance the sorption of NAA. At sorption equilibrium, the cuticle has a lower affinity for methylene blue in the region usually rich in cuticular waxes and in a narrow band in the cuticular pegs.
