Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis thaliana irregular xylem4 (irx4) cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 1 (CCR1) mutant was reassessed for its purported exclusive rate-limiting or key effects on lignification. Analyses of gross growth characteristics and stem cross-section anatomy, from seedling emergence to senescence, revealed that stunted irx4 mutant lines were developmentally delayed, which in turn indirectly but predictably led to modest...
