Examples of cutin
cutin
A major component of the cuticle is the polymer cutin, but it has been unclear how this polymer is made.

This recipe feeds a crowd but is easily cutin half.

Resistant plants had slight increases in cutin and large increases in the wax found in the cuticle, or surface layer, of wheat plants.

Resistant plants that were observed to have increased cutin production had slight red spotting along the leaves from the dye.
From the sciencedaily.com
But those that were susceptible absorbed the dye because cutin was lacking and the dye was able to seep into the plant's cells.

Basic structures are created from cellulose, tannin, cutin, and lignin, along with other various proteins, lipids, and sugars.

The epidermal cells of the primary shoot are thought to be the only plant cells with the biochemical capacity to synthesize cutin.

Less messenger RNA in the original tissue samples would indicate lower levels of gene expression, which ultimately determines cutin or wax production.

The enzyme that makes cutin, a polymer found in plant skins, is reported in an article published online this week in Nature Chemical Biology.

- (biochemistry) a waxy transparent material that occurs in the cuticle of plants and consists of highly polymerized esters of fatty acids
- Cutin is one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle which covers all aerial surfaces of plants. The other major cuticle polymer is cutan, which is much more readily preserved in the fossil record,. ...
- (Cut-ins) New items that need to be placed on an existing display, fixture, shelf, in a specifically designated location.
- The rotational speed at which an alternator or generator starts pushing electricity hard enough (has a high enough voltage) to make electricity flow in a circuit.
- An instantaneous shift from a distant framing to a closer view of some portion of the same space.
- A way layer secreted by epidermal cells on the outer surface on plants.
- An insoluble polymer that, embedded in waxes, forms the cuticle covering the epidermal cell walls in the aerial parts of higher plants. (16)
- Waxy, water-repellent substance present in the outer waxy layer in plant leaves which reduces evaporation and protects leaf surfaces.
- The temperature value or the pressure value at which the control circuit closes.
