Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The barley eceriferum-b.2 (cer-b.2) mutant produces glossy leaf sheaths and is deficient in the cuticular wax component 14,16-hentriacontanedione. The mutated gene maps to a 1.3-cM interval on chromosome 3HL flanked by the genes MLOC_10972 and MLOC_69561. The cuticular wax coating of leaves and stems in many grass species is responsible for the plants' glaucous appearance. A major component of the...
