High-resolution spectral information enables phenotyping of leaf epicuticular wax in wheat

Abstract Background Epicuticular wax (EW) is the first line of defense in plants for protection against biotic and abiotic factors in the environment. In wheat, EW is associated with resilience to heat and drought stress, however, the current limitations on phenotyping EW restrict the integration of...
