Chemical analysis and biosynthesis of secondary alcohols in plant cuticular waxes
The biosynthesis of wax components containing secondary functional groups was investigated in the current study. Two fundamentally different pathways were proposed to introduce the secondary functional groups. One pathway involves hydroxylation of elongated substrates. Wax components characterized b...
