Abstract excerpt
Plant cell walls serve as a physical support and a barrier to pathogen invasion. Cellulose is the main component of cell walls. The cellulose synthase-like D (CSLD) subfamily genes are required for plant normal development. In rice, Oscsld4 mutant plants are dwarfed and have narrow, rolled leaves. The role of OsCSLD4 in rice immune responses is unclear. We carried out a forward genetic screen using rice mutants...
