Abstract excerpt
Regulation of cell wall structure plays a central role in growth and differentiation in plants. Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) that catalyze the cleavage and molecular grafting of xyloglucan chains function in loosening and rearrangement of the cell wall. We have characterized XTH9, a member of the XTH family that was isolated by systematic differential screening for highly expressed genes in...
