Structural and Biochemical Properties of Duckweed Surface Cuticle

Abstract: The plant cuticle, which consists of cutin and waxes, forms a hydrophobic coating covering the aerial surfaces of all plants. It acts as an interface between plants and their surrounding environment whilst also protecting them against biotic and abiotic stresses. In this research, we have investigated the biodiversity and cuticle properties of aquatic plant duckweed, using samples isolated from four different locations around Hongze lake in Jiangsu province, China. The samples were genotyped using two chloropl… Show more

“…4 However, there were significant differences between the arrangements of the 5S rDNA locus in the two Spirodela species and L. punctata . First, almost no intragenomic or intergenomic variation was observed within each NTS type in Spirodela, which is in agreement with our own analysis of a smaller NTS variant in four S. polyrhiza ecotypes ( Borisjuk et al, 2018 ). By contrast, we identified extensive variation in class I NTS in L. punctata , as illustrated in Figure 3 .…”

“…The wax and cuticle components of aquatic plants may act as protective layers against damaging UV irradiation 30 . Supporting this idea, a high percentage of phytosterol has been reported in S. polyrhiza 30 . Moreover, of the total lipids in Wolffia 31 , phytosterols constitute a significant proportion, suggesting essential roles in the floating lifestyle.…”

“…This was confirmed by sequencing of the 5S rDNA repeats, amplified from genomic DNA of clones 8410 and 7747. Analysis of individual 5S rDNA clones of Si8410 and Si7747 identified the 119 bp long 5S rRNA genes with 100% identity to the previously sequenced 5S rRNA gene of S. polyrhiza 43 , and two variants of the NTS for each ecotype (Fig. S4), with variant 8410-1 corresponding to 5S rDNA locus on chromosome ChrSi15 and the variant 8410-2 corresponding to the locus on chromosome ChrSi14 (Fig.…”
