Cutin is synthesized from oxygenated fatty acids derived preponderantly from oleic acid. The enzymatic pathways involved in the biosynthesis of such cutin monomers have been studied, i.e. 18βhydroxyoleic acid, 9,10βepoxyβ18βhydroxystearic acid (the major constituent) and 9,10,18βtrihydroxystearic ac
