Abstrakt: Crop production is limited by environmental stresses such as a water deficit, salinity, and extreme temperature. Lipophilic cuticle and stomatal pore govern plant transpirational water loss and photosynthetic gas exchange and contribute to plant adaptation to stressful environments. Intricate interplays between cuticle biosynthesis and stomatal development are supported by increasing evidence from phenotypic observations. Several mutants, initially identified as being deficient in cuticle development, have exhibited altered phenotypes in terms of stomatal ridges, numbers, patterns, and shapes. Similarly, mutants with abnormal stomatal patterning have shown defective cuticle formation. Recently, signaling components and transcription factors orchestrating cuticle biosynthesis and stomatal formation have been characterized in both model and crop plants. In this review, we summarize the genetic interplay between cuticle biosynthesis and stomata formation. Current strategies and future perspectives on exploiting the intertwined cuticle biosynthesis and stomatal development for crop stress resistance improvement are discussed.
