Research Progresses on Composition,Biosynthesis,and Functions in Response to Outer Stresses of Plant Cuticular Wax
To explore functions of plant cuticular wax in response to biotic and abiotic stresses,and provide new resources for improving plant traits as well as enhancing crop quality and genetic breeding,composition,biosynthesis pathways,and functions of plant cuticular wax were reviewed,including main composition of plant cuticular wax such as long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives(alkanes,aldehydes,ketones,primary alcohols,secondary alcohols,and wax esters),three steps of biosynthesis pathway such as de novo synthesis of C16 and C18 fatty acids,elongation of C16 and C18 fatty acids to form long-chain fatty acids,and synthesis of wax components through acyl reduction and decarbonylation path-ways of long-chain fatty acids,as well as important functions of plant cuticular wax in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought,ultraviolet radiation and disease and pest resistance.The future research direction was pointed out to be using new biotechnology to research functions and mechanism of wax and discussing stress resistance of plants.
