尽管其具有重要的生物学意义，但角质（植物角质层的聚合基质）的形成机制尚未完全阐明。在这里，我们首次展示了内源性多羟基脂肪酸自组装形成脂质囊泡过程的参与。这些囊泡（角质体）在表皮细胞壁外部的积累和融合被认为是早期角质层形成的机制。
Despite its biological importance, the mechanism of formation of cutin, the polymeric matrix of plant cuticles, has not yet been fully clarified. Here, for the first time, we show the participation in the process of lipid vesicles formed by the self-assembly of endogenous polyhydroxy fatty acids. The accumulation and fusion of these vesicles (cutinsomes) at the outer part of epidermal cell wall is proposed as the mechanism for early cuticle formation.
