The decrease in total wax load in the myb94 myb96 double mutant was almost equal to the sum of the reduced wax loads in the individual myb94 and myb96 mutants under both conditions.

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation MYB94 and MYB96 transcripts were abundantly expressed in the aerial organs of Arabidopsis.
- Observation MYB94 and MYB96 transcripts were significantly induced at the same or similar time points under drought in Arabidopsis.
- Observation MYB94 complemented the wax-deficient phenotype of the myb96 loss-of-function mutant under both well-watered and drought stress conditions.
- Observation Leaves of the myb94 myb96 mutant lost water through the cuticle faster than those of myb94 or myb96 plants.
- Observation Transcript levels of wax biosynthetic genes were decreased in the myb94 and myb96 single mutants relative to the wild type under drought and ABA treatment.
- Observation Transcript levels of wax biosynthetic genes were further reduced in the myb94 myb96 double mutant relative to the wild type under drought and ABA treatment.
- Observation MYB94 and MYB96 interact with the same regions containing MYB consensus motifs in the promoter regions of wax biosynthetic genes.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that MYB94 and MYB96 exert an additive effect on cuticular wax biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.
