Extracellular lipid composition of wild-type and kcs12 mutant seeds in M. truncatula. A, Identified lipid polyester monomers released by NaOMe-catalyzed polymerization of whole delipidated seed residues are shown. B, Seed wax components extracted by immersion in chloroform. Values in (A) and (B) are means from four replicates; error bars represent sd. Asterisks indicate significant differences between each mutant and WT (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01) using two‐tailed unpaired Student’s t test.
