title: Self-assembly of supramolecular lipid nanoparticles in the formation of plant biopolyester cutin.
abstract: The implication of a self-assembly process in the early stages of cutin biosynthesis has been shown by means of antibodies raised against polyhydroxy fatty acidnanoparticles (cutinsomes).
