Abstract: Abstract: Plant cuticle is a superficial film formed of the cutinized outer layers of the superficial wall of the epidermal cell of a plant, which also is the outer barrier against the biotic and abiotic stress. It plays important roles in plant growth and development. This paper reviewed the progress made in the structure, composition, biosynthesis and function of the plant cuticle in recent decades, and hoped that it will be helpful to researchers who interested in the relevant field.
