Exploiting Natural Variation to Uncover an Alkene Biosynthetic Enzyme in Poplar.

The Plant cell - 1 Aug 2017

Abstract excerpt

Alkenes are linear hydrocarbons with one or more double bonds. Despite their potential as biofuels and precursors for specialty chemicals, the underlying biochemistry and genetics of alkene biosynthesis in plants remain elusive. Here, we report on a screen of natural accessions of poplar (Populus trichocarpa), revealing that the leaf cuticular waxes are predominantly composed of alkanes and alkenes....
