Investigating the role of cellulose synthases in the biosynthesis and properties of cellulose in secondary cell walls
Cellulose synthases are the enzymes responsible for the production of cellulose in plant cell walls. Mutations in any one of the Arabidopsis cellulose synthase (CesA) AtCesA4, AtCesA7, and AtCesA8 genes cause plants to develop collapsed xylem as a result of reduced cellulose content, demonstrating...
