Abstract excerpt

Cutinase is an esterase that degrades the polyester cutin, a major component of the plant cuticle. Although cutinase activity has been detected in pollen, the genes encoding this enzyme have not been identified. Here, we report the identification and characterization of Arabidopsis CDEF1 (cuticle destructing factor 1), a novel candidate gene encoding cutinase. CDEF1 encodes a member of the GDSL lipase/esterase...
