Abstract excerpt
Xylan, the major hemicellulosic polysaccharide in Arabidopsis secondary cell walls, requires a number of glycosyltransferases (GT) to catalyse formation of the various glycosidic linkages found in the polymer. In this study, we characterized IRX10 and IRX10-like (IRX10-L), two highly homologous genes encoding members of the glycosyltransferase family 47 (GT47). T-DNA insertions in IRX10 gave a mild irregular...
