“…This lipophilic layer, composed of cutin and cuticular waxes, had the primary purpose of limiting water loss that was not caused by stomata by acting as a physical barrier between the surface of the plant and the environment outside of the plant [5,6,14]. Forming a cuticular wall is one of the primary adaptation strategies that allow plants to survive and thrive in water-restricted terrestrial environments [7,8,15]. The cuticle protects the plant from mechanical rupture or injury, poisonous chemicals, and ultraviolet radiation [9,10,14].…”
