Biosynthesis of barley wax β-diketones: a type-III polyketide synthase condensing two fatty acyl units

The surface coatings of cereal plants are dominated by waxy β-diketones crucial for drought resistance and, therefore, grain yield. Here, barley (Hordeum vulgare) wax analyses reveal β-diketone and associated 2-alkanol ester profiles suggesting a common C(16) 3-ketoacid precursor. Isotope analysis f...
