Dynamic product-precursor relationships underlie cuticular lipid accumulation on maize silks

K. Chen, L. E. Alexander, U. Mahgoub, Y. Okazaki, Y. Higashi, K. Takano, D. Loneman, T. S. Dennison, M. Lopez, R. Claussen, L. Peddicord, K. Saito, N. Lauter, K. S. Dorman, B. J. Nikolau, M. D. Yandeau-Nelson

The study identifies how precursor chain length, plant genotype, and spatio-temporal gradients influence product-precursor ratios in the cuticular hydrocarbon-producing pathway of maize silks.

High Spatial-Resolution Imaging Of The Dynamics Of Cuticular Lipid Deposition During Arabidopsis Flower Development

L. E. Alexander, J. S. Gilbertson, B. Xie, Z. Song, B. J. Nikolau

The paper uses transgenic and biochemical methods to compare Gl2, Gl2-like, and CER2 gene functions in Arabidopsis flower cuticular lipid deposition, revealing distinct localization patterns of metabolic branches.

Evaluation of the functional role of the maize Glossy2 and Glossy2-like genes in cuticular lipid deposition

L. E. Alexander, Y. Okazaki, M. A. Schelling, A. Davis, X. Zheng, L. Rizhsky, M. Yandeau-Nelson, K. Saito, B. J. Nikolau

Transgenic experiments show Gl2-like and Gl2 genes in maize have overlapping but divergent roles in cuticular lipid deposition, with Gl2-like requiring a catalytic motif for function.
