Abstract excerpt
The phenotype of the novel gapped xylem (gpx) mutant is described. gpx plants exhibit gaps in the xylem in positions where xylem elements would normally be located. These gaps are not part of the transpiration stream and result in gpx plants having fewer functional xylem elements. The gaps are due to the absence of a secondary cell wall in developing xylem elements, resulting in complete degradation of these...
