Abstract excerpt
The moss Physcomitrella patens has become established as a model for investigating plant gene function due to the feasibility of gene targeting. The chemical composition of the P. patens cell wall is similar to that of vascular plants and phylogenetic analyses of glycosyltransferase sequences from the P. patens genome have identified genes that putatively encode cell wall biosynthetic enzymes, providing a basis...
