植物表皮蜡质特性及相关基因研究进展

Advances in Characteristics and Related Genes of Plant Epicuticular Wax

植物表皮蜡质是覆盖于植株地上部分的白色薄层,在植物抗逆境胁迫中发挥着重要的作用.文章就植物表皮蜡质组分的理化特性、合成、转运及调控的分子生物学研究等方面进行综述,并提出未来在植物蜡质研究方面需解决的问题,以期推进植物表皮蜡质的深入研究.

Plant epicuticular wax is the white thin layer covering the surface of aerial plant parts,which plays an important role in plant resistance.This paper reviews the moleculer biological researches about the physico-chemical properties,synthesis,transport and regulation of epicuticular wax,and proposes the issues subsequently in plant wax research which need to be solved in the future,so as to promote plant epicuticular wax in-depth research.
