Abstract excerpt
Plant cuticular wax is a heterogeneous mixture of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) and their derivatives. Primary alcohols are the dominant wax components throughout leaf development of Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium). However, the genes involved in primary alcohol biosynthesis have not been investigated and their exact biological function remains unclear in Brachypodium to date. Here, we monitored the...
