Carbon chain length distribution of major cuticular wax classes on flag leaves of wheat lines grown under well-watered (WW) conditions and drought (DR). a Carbon chain lengths of primary alcohols. b Carbon chain length of β-diketones. c Carbon chain lengths of alkanes. EXC - Excalibur, DRS - Drysdale, GL - Gladius. Means and standard errors (indicated by bars) were calculated from three replicates. Wax loads were calculated per gram of dry leaf weight (DW). Tiny amounts of 20-, 22- and 34-carbon primary alcohols, and 23-carbon alkane are not shown but used for calculation of total wax loads in Fig. 6
