Abstract excerpt
The products of the cellulose synthase A (CESA) gene family are thought to function as isoforms of the cellulose synthase catalytic subunit, but for most CESA genes, the exact role in plant growth is still unknown. Assessing the function of individual CESA genes will require the identification of the null-mutant phenotypes and of the gene expression profiles for each gene. Here, we report that only four of 10...
