Fig. 1From: Genetic mapping and candidate gene identification of BoGL5, a gene essential for cuticular wax biosynthesis in broccoliPhenotypes and wax loads of the mutant B156 and the wild-type B3 plants. B156 showed glossy appearance (a, b) in contrast with glaucous appearance of B3 (d, e). Scanning electron microscopy revealed dramatically reduced waxes on leaf of B156 (c) comparing with B3 (f), bar = 150 μm. Chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed total waxes and most > C28 components were significantly decreased in B156 (g)Back to article page
