Stems of Antisense-ACLA Plants Accumulate Less Wax.
(A) to (C) Scanning electron micrographs of basal regions from inflorescence stems of antisense-ACLA (αACL) and wild-type plants at 32 DAI showing epicuticular wax crystalloids; five plants of each genotype were examined.
(D) Cuticular wax (CW) load on inflorescence stems of wild-type and αACL plants at 60 DAI.
(E) Major cuticular wax constituents of inflorescence stems of wild-type and αACL plants at 60 DAI. Average data ± se from three replicate extractions (six plants each).
