Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. gene MUR1, which encodes an isoform of GDP-D-mannose-4,6-dehydratase, affects the biosynthetic conversion of GDP-mannose to GDP-fucose. Cell walls in the aerial tissues of mur1 plants are almost devoid of alpha-L-fucosyl residues, which are partially replaced by closely related alpha-L-galactosyl residues. A line of suspension-cultured A. thaliana cells was...
