Abstract excerpt
Cuticular wax protects the aerial organs of land plants from environmental stresses, especially drought. Glaucousness is an important wax phenotype that is closely related to drought tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum). However, how wheat glaucousness is regulated remains largely unknown. In this study, 3 homologous R2R3-type MYB transcription factors, TaMYB96-2A, TaMYB96-2B, and TaMYB96-2D, were identified...
