Abstract excerpt
The plant cuticle, consisting of wax and cutin, is involved in adaptations to various environments. β-Ketoacyl-CoA synthases (KCSs) usually serve as a component of the fatty acid elongation complex that participates in the production of very long-chain fatty acids and provides precursors for the synthesis of various lipids, including wax; however, we recently reported that KCS3 and KCS12 negatively regulate wax...
