Localized post-transcriptional gene silencing of the very long chain fatty acid condensing enzyme, CER6, and analysis of transcript accumulation in the anthers of developing flower buds of Arabidopsis thaliana

In Arabidopsis thaliana, both the stem wax and the pollen lipids are generated from very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) precursors. A mutation in the gene encoding CER6, a condensing enzyme involved in VLCFA synthesis, results in plants with alterations in both the stem wax and the pollen coat lip...
