Proposed model for the function of OsPLS4 in cuticular wax formation and leaf senescence. OsPLS4 gene mutation would lead to blocked fatty acid synthesis in chloroplast, which caused the VLCFA synthesis and cuticular wax decrease in pls4 mutant. However, abnormal chloroplast development affected the photosynthetic rate reduction, ROS accumulation and the expression level of the SAGs, ultimately leading to premature leaf senescence in the pls4 mutant.
