Aerial plant surfaces are covered by epicuticular waxes that among other purposes serve to control water loss. Maize  glossy  mutants originally identified by their “glossy” phenotypes exhibit alterations in the accumulation of epicuticular waxes. By combining data from a BSR-Seq experiment and the newly developed Seq-Walking technology, GRMZM2G118243 was identified as a strong candidate for being the  glossy13  gene. The finding that multiple EMS-induced alleles contain premature stop codons in GRMZM2G118243, and the one knockout allele of  gl13 , validates the hypothesis that gene GRMZM2G118243 is  gl13 . Consistent with this, GRMZM2G118243 is an ortholog of AtABCG32 ( Arabidopsis thaliana ), HvABCG31 (barley) and OsABCG31 (rice), which encode ABCG subfamily transporters involved in the trans-membrane transport of various secondary metabolites. We therefore hypothesize that  gl13  is involved in the transport of epicuticular waxes onto the surfaces of seedling leaves.
