Fig 7. Wax composition of BW and w3 mutant.

Total wax load and content of alkanes, β-diketones, primary alcohols (alkan-1-ols), aldehydes, wax esters, and fatty acids of the flag leaf sheaths were measured by GC-MS. The numbers on the y-axes indicate average content expressed as μg per g dried tissue (dry weight, DW). The error bars indicate standard deviation of the mean estimated from five biological replicates.
