Cutin: This is a long-chain fatty acid polymer, that enters the spaces between the cellulose microfibrils of the epidermal cell wall, making her cutinized. It is later deposited externally and together with the wax forms the cuticle. The cuticle helps to restrict sweating; being bright helps to reflect the excess of solar radiation and being a substance that is not digested by living beings, it also acts as a layer, protecting against the action of fungi and bacteria. Cuticle formation begins in the early stage of organ growth.
