OsXXT1

• Symbol: OsXXT1
• MSU: LOC_Os03g18820
• RAPdb: Os03g0300000

• Mutation in xyloglucan 6-xylosytransferase results in abnormal root hair development in Oryza sativa., 2014, J Exp Bot.

Genbank accession number

• Furthermore, expression of the full-length coding sequence of OsXXT1 could complement the root hair defect, and slow growth and XyG synthesis in the Arabidopsis xxt1 xxt2 double mutant
• Transgenic plants expressing the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter under the control of the OsXXT1 promoter displayed GUS expression in multiple tissues, most prominently in root epidermal cells
• These results demonstrate the importance of OsXXT1 in maintaining cell wall structure and tensile strength in rice, a typical grass species that contains relatively low XyG content in cell walls
