Abstract excerpt
The cuticle, consisting of cuticular wax and cutin, is a lipid membrane that seals the plant surface against environmental stress. β-Ketoacyl-CoA synthases (KCSs) are condensing enzymes catalyzing crucial reactions elongating hydrocarbon chains into precursors for various cuticular wax components. Although many KCS genes were well characterized in various species, the functions of the closely related Arabidopsis...
