Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase involved in biosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids and cuticular wax plays a vital role in aerial organ development in M. truncatula. Cuticular wax is composed of very long chain fatty acids and their derivatives. Defects in cuticular wax often result in organ fusion, but little is known about the role of cuticular wax in compound leaf and flower development in Medicago...
