Shelf Life Potential and the Fruit Cuticle: The Unexpected Player.

TL;DR: In this review, chemical and biophysical properties of fruit cuticles are summarized and identification of natural sources of variability in relevant quality traits would allow breeding for the improvement of post-harvest life of fruit commodities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cuticle as a key factor in the quality of horticultural crops

TL;DR: This review focuses on the cuticle as a key factor in the quality of horticultural crops and provides an overview of the recent research and conclusions in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative analysis of total wax content, chemical composition and crystal morphology of cuticular wax in Korla pear under different relative humidity of storage.

TL;DR: High humidity delayed the ripening and aging by effectively maintaining wax, which was essential for postharvest storage and provide a reference for the production of synthetic wax for Korla pear fruits.

Changes in Cuticle Components and Morphology of 'Satsuma' Mandarin (Citrus unshiu) during Ambient Storage and Their Potential Role on Penicillium digitatum Infection.

TL;DR: Results of in vitro tests showed that mycelial growth of Penicillium digitatum could be promoted by epicuticular wax and conidial germination could be inhibited by cutin at different storage stages, shedding new light on the chemical basis for cuticle involvement in fungal infection.

Protecting against water loss: analysis of the barrier properties of plant cuticles

TL;DR: The bulk of water diffuses as single molecules across a lipophilic barrier while a minor fraction travels along polar pores, and the role the plant cuticle plays in ensuring the survival and reproductive success of an individual plant is indicated.
