Abstract excerpt
Cellulose microfibrils containing crystalline beta-1,4-glucan provide the major structural framework in higher-plant cell walls. Genetic analyses of Arabidopsis thaliana now link specific genes to plant cellulose production just as was achieved some years earlier with bacteria. Cellulose-deficient mutants have defects in several members of one family within a complex glycosyltransferase superfamily and in one...
