A clear disconnect between chemical composition and morphology suggests that individual wax components cannot be used to predict leaf surface properties. The wax composition data presented here also suggests that cuticular aldehydes are not exclusive to the decarbonylation pathway, depicting a more complex regulatory framework for cuticular wax biosynthesis.<\/jats:p>\n                      <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:p>This study offers a broader inter\u2010 and intra\u2010species view of foliar wax chemistry, emphasising differences in cuticular wax biosynthetic strategies and their implications for plant\u2013pathogen interactions.
