General Description 1.The mutants were characterized by slow growth, dark-green leaves and very low seed-set. 2. At a molecular level, the plants reduced levels of fucose, and xylose. In contrast, arabinose levels were elevated.
Organ Specificity
Impact on Wall
Impact on Sugar Composition reduced fucose, and xylose. arabinose level elevated.
