Epicuticular wax extracted from the leaf surface compared with total wax of wild-type and gl6 mutant
| Parameter | WT | gl6-ref |
|---|---|---|
| Total wax (µg cm−2) | 19.7±4.1 | 13.1±2.4 |
| Surface wax (µg cm−2) | 13.2±2.3 | 2.6±0.5 |
| Wax secretion ratio | 67.1% | 19.9% |
Total wax extraction and calculation of ratio of wax secretion were performed following a reported measurement strategy (McFarlane et al., 2014). Total and surface wax content are means ±SD.
