Abstract excerpt
Numerous papillae structures form on the cell wall surface of Arabidopsis trichomes. Papillae do not develop in the Arabidopsis glassy hair3 (glh3) mutant. Cloning of the GLH3 gene revealed that a member of the pectate lyase gene family is required for papillae formation. GLH3 pectate lyase expression is trichome-specific in leaves, and it precedes the appearance of papillae. The transcriptional Mediator complex...
