Involvement of Macromolecule Biosynthesis in Auxin and Fusicoccin Enhancement of beta-Glucan Synthase Activity in Pea.

abstract：:CesA genes are believed to encode the catalytic subunit of cellulose synthase. Identification of nine distinct CesA cDNAs from maize (Zea mays) has allowed us to initiate comparative studies with homologs from Arabidopsis and other plant species. Mapping studies show that closely related CesA genes are not clustered b...
