摘要 |
The present invention is predicated, in part, on the functional characterisation of a homeodomain/leucine zipper (HD-Zip) polypeptide which modulates various aspects of cell wall deposition in plant cells, including secondary cell wall deposition. The present invention provides, among other things, methods for modulating cell wall deposition in plant cells; plant cells and plants having modulated cell wall deposition; and methods for determining and/or predicting the rate and/or extent of cell wall deposition in plant cells and plants. |
