Abstract excerpt
Previous studies using co-expression analysis have identified a large number of genes likely to be involved in secondary cell-wall formation. However, the function of very few of these genes is known. We have studied the cell-wall phenotype of irx7, irx8 and irx9, three previously described irregular xylem (irx) mutants, and irx14 and parvus-3, which we now show also to be secondary cell-wall mutants. All five...
