Mutant Name: fut1
| Gene Name | FUT1 |
| Protein Name | fucosyltransferase(xyloglucan) |
| Mutagen | T-DNA |
| Category | reverse genetics |
| Organism | Arabidopsis thaliana |
| Ecotype | Ws |
| Donor | |
| General Description | Fucose is not detectable on xyloglucan in leaf tissue. Plants appear healthy and no visible phenotype under laboratory growth conditions. |
| Organ Specificity | not checked |
| Impact on Wall | Glycosyl composition analysis indicated that the cell walls prepared from mature rosettes, expanding leaves, and flowers of the Atfut1 mutant contained 50% to 75% less Fuc than wild-type walls. |
| Impact on Sugar Composition | No detectable fucose on xyloglucan. |
