Definition: Cuticularization is a process in plants where the cell walls of hyphae, or fungal hyphae, are cut away to allow for the growth and development of new cells. This happens during the vegetative stage of plant growth, when the cell walls become thinner and more permeable, allowing for the exchange of solutes and nutrients from the extracellular matrix into the cell interior. Cuticularization is a crucial step in fungal growth and development because it allows for the transport of water,
