Biosynthesis and accumulation of very-long-chain alkylresorcinols in cuticular waxes of Secale cereale and Brachypodium distachyon
5-Alkylresorcinols are a class of phenolic lipids which have been identified in the cuticular waxes of various cereal crops. Due to their antifungal and antibacterial properties, ARs have potential applications as nutraceuticals. They are biosynthesized by type-III polyketide synthases (PKSs)....
