Abstract excerpt
Leaf sheath cuticular waxes on wild-type Sorghum bicolor were approximately 96% free fatty acids, with the C28 and C30 acids being 77 and 20% of these acids, respectively. Twelve mutants with markedly reduced wax load were characterized for chemical composition. In all of the 12 mutants, reduction in the amount of C28 and C30 acids accounted for essentially all of the reduction in total wax load relative to...
