Abstract excerpt
The cuticle is a protective layer covering aerial plant organs. We studied the function of waxes for the establishment of the cuticular barrier in barley (Hordeum vulgare). The barley eceriferum mutants cer-za.227 and cer-ye.267 display reduced wax loads, but the genes affected, and the consequences of the wax changes for the barrier function remained unknown. Cuticular waxes and permeabilities were measured in...
