Abstract excerpt
To investigate mechanisms involved in cell wall development, an Arabidopsis T-DNA insertion mutant collection was screened to identify mutants with beta-glucuronidase fusion gene expression in tissues undergoing secondary cell wall thickening. This promoter-trapping strategy allowed the isolation of a transformant containing the GUS coding sequence inserted 700 bp upstream of the ATG of a putative beta-xylosidase...
