TAIR Curator Summary | EXGT-A3 has homology to xyloglucan endotransglucosylases/hydrolases (XTHs). Mutants in this gene show a lesion mimic phenotype associated with leaf maturation and a reduction in the number of tertiary veins. Individual tracheary elements in the mutants are shorter, but phloem transport activity is not severely affected. EXGT-A3 plays a role in xyloglucan degradation in the differentiating tracheary elements of rosette leaves. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
