Breeding for cuticle-associated traits in crop species: traits, targets, and strategies.

Journal of experimental botany - 9 Nov 2017

Petit Johann, Bres Cécile, Mauxion Jean-Philippe, Bakan Bénédicte, Rothan Christophe

Abstract excerpt

Improving crop productivity and quality while promoting sustainable agriculture have become major goals in plant breeding. The cuticle is a natural film covering the aerial organs of plants and consists of lipid polyesters covered and embedded with wax. The cuticle protects plants against water loss and pathogens and affects traits with strong impacts on crop quality such as, for horticultural crops, fruit...
