1 Mutations in LACS1 reduced the amount of wax in all chemical classes on the stem and leaf, except in the very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) class wherein acids longer than 24 carbons (C(24)) were elevated more than 155%. Waxes AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
2 As such, LACS1 defines a functionally novel acyl-CoA synthetase that preferentially modifies both VLCFAs for wax synthesis and long-chain (C(16)) fatty acids for cutin synthesis. Waxes AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein Arabidopsis thaliana
