Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The cuticle is the plant's barrier against abiotic and biotic stresses, and the deposition of epicuticular wax crystals results in the scattering of light, an effect termed glaucousness. Here, we dissect the genetic architecture of flag leaf glaucousness in wheat toward a future targeted design of the cuticle. The cuticle serves as a barrier that protects plants against abiotic and biotic stresses....
