Analysis of anther wax and cutin monomers in the wild type and ms33. (a) Total cutin and wax level per unit of surface area in wild-type and ms33 anthers. Error bars indicate SD (n = 5). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. (b) Wax constituent level per unit of surface area in wild-type and ms33 anthers. Error bars indicate SD (n = 5). Compound names are abbreviated as follows: C23:0 Alkanes, tricosane; C25:0 Alkanes, pentacosane; C27:0 Alkanes, heptacosane; C29:0 Alkanes, nonacosane; C31:0 Alkanes, hentriacontane; C33:0 Alkanes, tritriacontane; C24:0 alcohol, 1-tetracosanol; C26:0 alcohol, 1-hexacosanol; C28:0 alcohol, octacosanol; C20:0 acid, eicosanoic acid; C22:0 acid, docosanoic acid; C24:0 acid, tetracosanoic acid; C26:0 acid, hexacosanoic acid. Error bars indicate SD (n = 5). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. (c) Cutin constituent level per unit of surface area in wild-type and ms33 anthers. Error bars indicate SD (n = 5). Compound names are abbreviated as follows: C16:0 acid, palmitic acid; C18:0 acid, stearic acid; C18:1 acid, oleic acid; C18:2 acid, linoleic acid, C18:3 acid, linolenic acid; C20:0 acid, eicosanoic acid; C22:0 acid, docosanoic acid; C24:0 acid, tetracosanoic acid; C26:0 acid, hexacosanoic acid; C16:0 2-OH acid, 2-hydroxy-palmitic acid; C18:0 2-OH acid, 2-hydroxy-octadecanoic acid; C22:0 2-OH acid, 2-hydroxy-docosanoic acid; C24:0 2-OH acid, 2-hydroxy-tetracosanoic acid; C26:0 2-OH acid, 2-hydroxy-hexacosanoic acid; C16:0 16-OH acid, 16-hydroxy-hexadecanoic acid; C18:1 18-OH acid, 18-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid. Error bars indicate SD (n = 5). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01
