Key messageWSL4encodes a KCS6 protein which is required for cuticular wax accumulation in rice. Abstract Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are essential precursors for cuticular wax biosynthesis. VLCFA biosynthesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and requires the fatty acid elongase (FAE) complex. The β-ketoacyl-coenzyme A synthase (KCS) catalyzes the first step of FAE-mediated VLCFA elongation...
Key messageWSL3encodes β-ketoacyl-CoA reductase (KCR) in rice, in a similar way toYBR159win yeast, andis essential for VLCFA biosynthesis and leaf wax accumulation. Abstract Cuticular waxes on plant surfaces limit non-stomatal water loss, protect plants against deposits...
