Making the surface of fleshy fruit: Biosynthesis, assembly and role of the cuticular layer

Justin Lashbrooke, Fabrizio Costa, Asaph Aharoni

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter describes the structure and assembly of the cuticle, focusing on the genes and enzymes implicated in constructing the cuticle of fleshy fruit and its role in this organ. It is worth noting that, in the majority of studies, the 'peel' or 'skin' of the fruit is discussed. This is not a scientific term and describes in general the fruit outer layer including the pericarp and epidermal cells as well as the cuticle.
