ZmCER1, a putative ECERIFERUM 1 protein in maize, functions in cuticular wax biosynthesis and bulliform cell development

The cuticular wax, acting as the ultimate defense barrier, is essential for the normal morphogenesis of plant organs. Despite this importance, the connection between wax composition and leaf development has not been thoroughly explored. In this study, we characterized a new maize mutant, ragged leaf...
