Antagonistic functions of CTL1 and SUH1 mediate cell wall assembly in Arabidopsis by Nguyen Thi Thuy, Hyun‐Jung Kim, Suk‐Whan Hong

“…SUH1 encodes a Golgi‐located type II membrane protein with glycosyltransferase (GT) activity, and its mutations lead to a reduction in cellulose content and hypersensitivity to cellulose biosynthesis inhibitors, although to a lesser extent than ctl1hot2‐1 mutation. The SUH1 promoter fused with the GUS reporter gene exhibited GUS activity in interfascicular fibers and xylem in stems; meanwhile, the ctl1hot2‐1 mutation significantly increased this activity. …”
