Eight distinct cellulose synthase catalytic subunit genes from Betula luminifera are associated with primary and secondary cell wall biosynthesis

Cellulose, a significant proportion of the plant cell wall, is the main determining factor of the wood qualities of a timber tree. Cellulose synthase (CESA), an essential catalyst for cellulose biosynthesis, is encoded by the CesA gene family. We isolated eight full-length CesA cDNAs from Betula lum...
