Abstract excerpt
The aerial surfaces of land plants have a protective layer of cuticular wax. Alkanes are common components of these waxes, and their abundance is affected by a range of stresses. The CER16 protein has been implicated in alkane biosynthesis in the cuticular wax of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Here, we identified two new mutant alleles of CER16 in Arabidopsis resulting in production of less wax with...
