Abstract excerpt
Xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolases (XTHs) are a class of enzymes that mediate the construction and restructure of the cellulose/xyloglucan framework by splitting and reconnecting xyloglucan molecule cross-linking among cellulose microfibrils. Remodification of cellulose microfibrils within cell-wall matrices is realized to be one of the most critical steps in the regulation of cells expansion in plants....
