Abstract excerpt
The rsw1 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana is mutated in a gene encoding a cellulose synthase catalytic subunit. Mutant seedlings produce almost as much cellulose as the wild type at 21 degrees C but only about half as much as the wild type at 31 degrees C. We used this conditional phenotype to investigate how reduced cellulose production affects growth and morphogenesis in various parts of the plant. Roots swell in...
