Abstract excerpt
The plant cuticle is a lipid-based barrier on the aerial surfaces of plants that plays a variety of protective roles. The cuticle is comprised largely of long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids and their derivatives. In Arabidopsis, LONG-CHAIN ACYL-COA SYNTHETASE1 (LACS1), LACS2, and LACS3 are known or suspected cuticle biosynthetic genes. Very-long-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase activity has been...
