Table 1.

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.
