“…TAA1a was the first gene verified to function in the synthesis of fatty alcohols, encoding a FAR specifically expressed in wheat anthers (Wang et al, ). More recently, eight other FARs encoded by TaFAR genes were found involved in biosynthesis of wax alcohols in various wheat organs (Chai et al, ; Wang et al, ; Wang, Wang, Sun, Hegebarth, et al, ; Wang, Wang, Sun, Wang, et al, ). Simultaneously, also several genes crucial for β‐diketone biosynthesis in wheat (and barley) have been identified (Hen‐Avivi et al, ; Schneider et al, ), including a hydrolase that likely generates crucial ketoacyl precursors for β‐diketone formation (Hen‐Avivi et al, ).…”
