Glycerol phosphate acyltransferase 6 controls filamentous pathogen interactions and cell wall properties of the tomato and <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> leaf epidermis
2018-10-24
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The leaf epidermal wall is covered by a cuticle, composed of cutin and waxes, which protects against dehydration and constitutes a barrier against pathogen attack. Cutin monomers are formed by the transfer of 16- or 18-carbon fatty acids to glycerol by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) enzymes, which facilitates their transport to the plant surface. Here we address the dual functionali...
