| General Description | 1. The mutant plants grew very slowly during their rosette stage.Most of the seedlings died early during development but plants surviving to the bolting stage developed normal inflorescences. 2. At a molecular level, the mutant plants had reduced levels of fucose and xylose. |

| Impact on Wall | |
| Impact on Sugar Composition | fucose and xylose levels reduced. |
